| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 22, 2008 Beautiful amber pin with airy, large-bubbled head that rapidly settles. One of the more aromatically intriguing German brews. Strong smells of malt and wheat and cereal. In fact, a strong "wheaties" component with some malt ball on the end. Flavor is rather insipid and ho-hum for a weizen bock. Easy going, but dilute malt flavor with some dabs of milk chocolate and raisin. Some wheat and little if any yeast or phenol component. An apple cider and wheat finish. corby112 (759), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Nov 21, 2008 Pours a dark yellowish-brown/ brown copper color with a foamy off-white head. Musky aroma that is dominated by clove spiciness. Slight chocolate malt presence. Flavor is once again dominated by cloves. A little bit of licorice, chocolate malt. Very carbonated with a spicy roastiness up front followed by a sweet malty center and dry finish. steview (902), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 1/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 5, 2008 quickly dissipating head that leaves murky brown haziness with random flakes--it looks like runny excrement; dark wheat beer with cherry and apple fruitiness, some spice, and tartness; good, but too tangy; meh.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 3, 2008 (Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with a dense off-white head leaving some laces. Clean and malty nose with a whiff of sweet fruit. Full-bodied with sweet and citrusy notes. Lightly tart finish. Somewhat disappointing - clearly there’s a lingering infection underneath. 180808 joergen (8627), Frederiksberg, Denmark

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 25, 2008 Bottle. Poured a cloudy copper body with thin head. Aroma is light cloves, banana. Flavor is light spices of cloves, banana, veggies and sweet malt. Pwn3d (1087), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jun 8, 2008 500ml bottle purchased from stateline. Perfect hued orange/brown pour, slight sediment. Nose is sharp green raisen. Flavors are apple, wheat, fig, prune, and plum. Amazing complexity. Vivacious carbonation really brings these flavors to life. Only 2.69 for a bottle too - great deal. If this had some clove notes, like aventinus, it would be one of my top brews. 4.35
