| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 8, 2008 bottle thanks to iowaherkeye. murky gold pour with thin off white head. oranges, alcohol and bananas on the nose. not too thick on the palate and a very smooth flavor of fruits that finish quite smooth with a hint of clove. the alcohol isn’t too well hidden though. drywallman (228), Lake in the Hills, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 7, 2008 This one poured in a dark orange manner with a pillowy head that dissipated quickly. I noticed lot of cloves (but not excessive) followed by the tempering of the cinnamon. The hops then rang through to finish refreshingly. It also went down fairly easily, although this is not meant to be a session beer. Glouglouburp (2839), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 6, 2008 In short: An intense (not highly drinkable) very-spicy Weizen on steroids. Good but just too much for its own good.
How: Bottle 12oz, first batch, drank 4 months after bottling. From sunevdj, thanks a lot Sune
The look: Opaque peach color topped by a small white head
In long: Strong and complex nose, spicy, fruity and lots of hay. Taste is a lot of dry straws, some banana cake, bubble gum, a lot of cloves and a lot of other herbal spices, some crunchy white sugar, dry orange and lemon peels, a lot of dry bitter hops. Aggressive carbonation. Overall this beer is dry dry dry. 9.6% somewhat apparent. This is a very tasty brew, so tasty in fact that I’d even say this is an aggressive beer. Its intensity really turned me on with the first few sips but by the end of the bottle I thought the beer was a bit too much especially in the cloves and spices department. It’s a good beer but not a very good beer and certainly not an excellent beer like the current ratings indicate. But that’s how it goes on ratebeer: intensity=quality… But I’m rating beer, not sex. guyinchicago (528), marengo, Illinois, USA
