May 30, 2008 Bottle @ GOBF 08. Pours a semi-hazed golden/deep amber with a craggy white head, laces the glass nicely. Yum, I’m pretty sure the huge aromatic hops here are amarillo (smells much like the Chouffe tripel/IPA), but just huge upfront floral and slight citrus hops on top of a solid banana bread, fruity, sweet malty base, cloves and other spices dance behind the immense hop whiff. Hoppy, well rounded, spicy wheat, citrus, nice bitter end kick. Full-bodied and good carbonation, not too sweet. A great and interesting strong wheat beer. So balanced. I def need to try the Schneider version.

Feb 19, 2009 Sampled at a beer and food pairing with Garritt Oliver. Poured golden with off white head. Aroma was banana, clove, yeast, and peppery hops. Had a medium mouthfeel with a lot of carbonation. Flavor followed the nose. This was paired with a jerk chicken. I never thought I would drink a hot spicy beer before. The spice in the chicken brought out peppery hot spices from the hops. Simply amazing.

Feb 18, 2009 750 ml bottle acquired via trade with Beerlando. Thanks! Pours a hazy goldish orangish, light hued, with big offwhite bubbly head, medium hazed, with a head that dies down somewhat. Aromas are dominated by lemony citrus, belgian spicy yeast, estery fruitiness (Banana) mixed with wheaty malts and some notes of a floral hoppiness. Initial is light on the tounge, but definitely not a light beer. Flavors are wheaty malts and grains, balancing fruity esters (Banana, again, largely), belgian yeasty spice, amarillo hops with some grassy feels, and a nice creamy sweetness. Bitterness and sweetness actually work extremely well together. A very well done brew. Look forward to trying the other version, as I hear it is on / will be on at Binnys South Loop. Cheers!

Jun 10, 2008 Pours hazy orange color with huge white head that lasted forever. Aromas of citrus and hops. Flavors of clove, dough, citrus, wheat, hops and a slight burn of alcohol. Medium body with lively carbonation. An excellent weizen bock.

Oct 30, 2007 Updated: Oct 31, 2007Given part of a growler by WeeHeavySD, thank you! Cloudy orangey-yellow looking, aroma of light citrus. Nicely hoppy, with a lot of lemony citrus and spices. Lingers with hints of fruity acidity. Very pleasant.

Jun 10, 2008 750 ml bottle/ Poured a dark cloudy amber. Aroma was very hoppy, almost like an ipa. Mouthful was very smooth, and nicely carbonated. I found this beer to a nice depth to it as it has different levels of flavor. Going down I sense some sweetness, and then the finish has some nice bitterness to it. Very enjoyable, and very nice beer.
