| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 6, 2007 Strong herbal and pine aroma. Lots of citrus and floral notes going on as well. Looks great, while the white, frothy head lasts, anyway. Golden, slightly hazy body color. The flavor is quite hoppy, and very citrusy. Very refreshing beer. Somewhat astringent.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 31, 2008 750 mL bottle that says 8.5% ABV. Very large fluffy white head of rather large bubbles. Reduces to a sticky messy head with gobs of sticky lacing. Light citris and wheat notes. Some peaches and spicy yeast. Color is a hazy brownish orange. Zippy and lively in the mouth. Good bitterness up front that melds into some sweet malty notes in the middle. Light roastyness with plenty of spicy, yeasty notes. Pepper and corriander with a bit of orange. More bitterness late swallow from the very resinous hops. Finishes bitter yet slightly creamy and dry with some lingering yeast and wheat notes. A very good brew and one that I am enjoying quite a bit. TipsyMcStager (928), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 25, 2009 Fruity citrus aroma. Hazy golden/orange with thick head. Banana, yeast spiciness, and drying hops. Mid range body. Enjoyable beer. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 23, 2007 Draft @ HDG. Pours foamy with a big, white head. Aroma first is fresh Cascades with a bready back. Right before the liquid hits your mouth, the you get slapped with a mouthful of fresh hops. A really good thing. The body is medium with mellow banana and cinnamon. Finishes even more hoppy with a bit of an abv buzz. Better than the bottle by far (IMHO). jb (1054), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 29, 2009 A rather unusual product. Not a classic weizen-bock by any stretch, but very interesting. The difference is the hops, many many nice hops used for aroma only, very aromatic hop flowers. The look of this is classic, hazy, very thick foamed, dark yellow. Thick lacing. The palate is a bit sour, dry, fruity, delicate. Overall a very nice beer. Thanks for the trade Ron! ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2007 Draft at Zeno’s. Honestly I didn’t see much of a difference between this and the first version. Perhaps the hops were toned down, but they both came off as huge, high gravity wheat beers. Nose of honey, lemon and fruit, with heavy spices and white pepper. Palate is also peppery and prickly, with a medium level of tartness. Almost boozy sometimes. Good, but again, not really different from the first version. JK (2961), Richfield, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 15, 2008 Shared by Stine. More of a pale ale than a weizenbock bock, the mere presence of wheat in a beer like this doesn’t seem to get it to weizen bock. Great beer anyway. Loads of hops in the aroma and flavor. Sweet malt, and alcohol. Unusual hops, a continental style. Thick and heavy. Sweet, with lots of citrus including grapefruit. CamdenD (606), Madrid, Spain
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 4, 2008 High quality big wheat beer. Beautiful hazy caramel gold color and strong wheat and booze nose. Nice. Taste is slightly astringent, may need some time to mellow in the bottle? Not your normal "summer" wheat. This one would warm up most Munich winter nights.
