Bottle, 7.2%. Very big head, perhaps not quite cold enough. Yeasty aroma, some sweet sourness that I often get in Weizenbock, like malt syrup. Cloudy orange colour, the head is almost white. Some yeast at the bottom of the bottle. The flavour starts off fruity and yeasty, but nicely so. Quite peppery, in combination with the yeast almost Belgian strong-tasting. Rough bitterness, probably from the alcohol.

Jun 19, 2008 Bottle. Spicy, orangepeel and ripe banana nose. Cloudy golden, huge golden head. Light herbal, apple notes, somewhat bland for a weizenbock. Relatively light body, fizzy mouthfeel. Very easy to drink - a bit too easy.

May 21, 2008 (screw cap bottle) Hazy, yellow colour with a huge rocky white foam. Light-sweet and yeasty malt aroma with a good wheat-character; almost a bit vinous citrus-fruity with shy clovy and peppery notes. Slightly sweet and moderately fruity flavour, medium to full bodied with a lively carbonated mouthfeel. Slightly yeasty, wheat-malty and citrousy, also a bit peppery taste; wheaty and fruity finish with a well-embedded alcohol. Balanced and quaffable Weizenbock (21.05.08).
