New Glarus Unplugged Imperial Weizen

Pours attractive apricot with two finger thick off white head. The nose and flavor are sweet with honey, apricot and sugars. The mouthfeel is coating, on the verge of cloying.

honey gold pour nice big frothy head big banana and clove aroma mildly citrus very tasty i get a bit of waterchestnut

Bottle, pilsner glass. Pours a cloudy apricot-orange. Huge frothy white head supports itself mushrooming above the glass, great retention and lacing. Wispy curtains of sediment raining down through the beer. Big bouquet of carbonic yeastiness, pleasantly musty, shot through with cardamom and prunes. These are the principal aromas and flavors sipping through the suds, too. Presents as a tropical fruit juice cocktail, with a hoppy edge to balance the malty sweetness, pineapple, orange, a hint of banana. Initially, cardamom, maybe some cinnamon in the spice department, before the beer turns hot. The alcohol burn is definitely here, but it’s well-complemented by cloves and peppery prickliness, and here that prune element in the nose comes into its prime, like a good plum brandy. As the fruit fades, the hops take the stage again, more floral than grassy, warm lingering on the tongue, as the beer turns dry in its final aftertaste, which is quite pleasant (or maybe that’s just me happily buzzed halfway through the glass) and seems to last forever. Wow.

I like the style, thank you Bakerslp for the trade. clove, cinnamon and citrus are claimed and in the mix, though I do not think they contributed to my liking it, but they did to the aroma. Very drinkable,if only I had a bomber to share, above average mouthfeel. Dark colour and good head.

Bottle from monger. Hazy orange in color. Big frosty head, that sticks around. Aroma of citrus hops and banana. Taste is an upfront bitterness followed by a nice banana/yeasty taste. Only to be followed by aftertaste of bitter hops Very enjoyable. Low carbonation and a light texture. Easy to drink. Great brew. Thanks James!
