Commercial Description:
Do not waste time attempting to box this brew into some esoteric guide to styles. This is Dan’s bold creation. His passion for unfiltered Weiss collides with Cascade Hops inventing our Imperial Hefe-Weizen. Dry hopping boldly rules over Wisconsin red wheat and our special strain of Bavarian yeast. At almost 20 O.P. this is the super mac daddy of Weiss beers. Decoction mashing was followed by excessive dry hopping to create a fierce onslaught of clove, cinnamon and citrus all in this living beer. Don’t bother waiting to enjoy - the time is now.

Bottle thanks to goldtwins. Pours a bright and cloudy orange color with a big white head and lots of lacing. A spicy aroma, some alcohol, some yeast and fruit. The flavor is very nice; sweet fruit, apricots, yeast, citrus hops, sweet and spicy, and very full flavored. One hell of a hefe! Lemons and a spicy zest in the finish. Very enjoyable.

12 oz, thanks General Gao. Humongous, enduring head on this nearly opaque orange-amber beer. Sweet aroma of fruit salad mix: mango, peach, pineapple, orange, banana and lemon. Flavor is a similar mix, with more notes of lemon than the aroma indicates, plus some caramel and resiny hop. Creamy frosting is left all over the glass. Light-medium body is silky smooth and dryish on the finish.

12 fl oz, courtesy of Papsoe/SoLan. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Dry wheaty and malty aroma. Sweet malty and slight caramelish to a mild wheaty base flavour. Mild acidic and light fruity. On the dark side of malt/wheat flavours. Smooth and mellow yeasty finish with a lasting malt impression into the far finish.

Golden yellow with a creamy white head that leaves a spotty lacing around the glass and retains itself well. Smell is hoppy with plenty of fresh oranges in there. The aroma also holds some spices and a little cinnamon. Taste is of oranges, clove, lemon, and a little grapefruit. Medium body and carbonation; finish has a little alcohol bite to it. Pretty drinkable beer, though I don*t know that I*d have more than two in an evening, if I were so inclined.

This is the last of the bottles I purchased in August. Served in a chimay chalice right from the 38° cellar. Fruity, citrus and spice aroma along with candi sugar and some toasty malt. Orange colored and hazy. Taste is sweet malt, lots of fruitiness, lots of citrus, and lots of spiciness. Finish is malty with lots of fruitiness. I enjoyed this beer, it was almost more like a Belgian Triple than a German Hefe.

Pour is a hazy golden/orange with a nice big white head. Aroma is orange, wheat and a little soapy or something. Pretty hoppy with the orange zesty feel. Dry with a long finish. Pretty good.

Bottle. Weak spicy aroma. Hazy dark golden colour. Small white head. The flavour starts off with some coriander, turns nicely sweet and then rather peppery. Not as fat or wheaty/bananay as expected.

Very good brew. Will have to write my full description at a later time apparently.
