DeGroens Weizenbock

Brewed by Fordham Brewing Company
Style: Weizen Bock
Dover, Delaware USA

Nice nose, great grain taste, chill hazes and aromatic. Decent hop presence, and a pleasant aftertaste, a must try for Wheat beer lovers.

[On tap] Cloudy amber color. Strong clove and banana aroma, typical of the style. Excellent flavor profile filled the whole tongue. Perhaps a tad too sweet, but that's arguable. An excellent brew!

The recently released 04 version of this seasonal brew has been kicked up to 8% abv. An unfiltered copper appearance with an average size head offered up the fruity banana esters of a typical hefe, complimented by a malty, earthy aroma. Nicely carbonated, with a smooth, medium-to-full bodied flavor with a long, slightly sweet, fruity finish. A worthy alternative to the proliferation of octoberfests around this time of year.

(Served via growler) Big banana and clove nose. The palate is nourishing with, a smooth mouth feel. The finish is full of malt and flavorful yeast. Tasty weizenbock.

Sampled at the brewery--good head over hazy light brown body. Fine, full mouthfeel with flavors of banana, clove and spice in huge quantities. I don’t perceive some of the bubblegum flavors I’ve detected in previous years nor the piercing fruitiness I’ve had in the past for this one. Still, very nice.

Nut brown and hazy. Acidic and fresh with nice butterscotch aroma. A great weizenbock!

Very hazy amber colour with a thin tan head. Potent aroma of bananas, cloves and yeast. Medium to Light-bodied; Strong malty flavour with the added aformentioned sweetness. Aftertaste shows a lot of spiceyness: cloves, coriander seed and nutmeg. Overall, a nice weizen bock from the Mid-Atlantic! I had this on draught at the Pizza Plant in Buffalo, New York.

An excellent beer with exceptional hints of banana and clove. There are many better Weizenbocks on the market, but the smooth, subtle hints that this beer gives make this more of a classic style of this beer.
