douglas88 (1557), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Apr 5, 2009 750ml of an unknown vintage thanks to footbalm. Pours a light brown color with a medium light brown bubbly head. The aroma was nice; sweet caramel and rich malts, a dusty dry quality even in the nose. The taste is very easy; sweet caramel, dusty apples and dry malts, a dry fizzy mouthfeel. Rich and not fruity, but dominated by a full dry malt. Easygoing and light spices. mcbackus (725), Merritt Island, Florida, USA Feb 15, 2009 bottle courtesy of homer321:
pours a dark rootbeer brown large head witha lingering off white film. aroma is a light some wheat malt, spice that is clove like not much else. flavour is weak some wheat very little chocolate, spice agian finishes watery with some yeast Crosling (1854), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jan 31, 2009 750 mL bottle. Nose has some nice elements to it, with notes of honey, grapes and wheat malts and a touch of vanilla, clove and other yeast components. Flavor is authentic and has nice purity, but is a bit cloying, and doesn’t have the fullness in the mouth I’d like.
hopscotch (5440), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Jan 25, 2009 Bottle... Murky, caramel-colored lager with an everlasting, frothy, off-white head. Aromas of pear and clove with a little chocolate and some banana. Full-bodied with gentle carbonation. Chocolaty, spicy, fruity flavor. Sweet with just enough bitterness to prevent cloying. Lengthy, lightly sweet, chocolaty finish that eventually dries out. Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Dec 31, 2008 Capones on draft. Pours a rusty brown body with a 2 finger off white head. Lots of fruity esters; banana, citrus, and lemon. Spices are zesty and dry clove, pepper, and some unrefined sugar sweetness. Good brew. Homer321 (127), Rockledge, Florida, USA Nov 20, 2008 from corked 750 into wide mouth glass. bottle swirled before opening. rich malty with slight orange and banana. more banana than other phenolics. beautiful murky color. I havne’t been disappointed by Penn weizen and this is a nice follow up. I would like to see more orange phenolics (like the weizen) but still a ver good beer. BlackForestCO (819), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Nov 18, 2008 Bottle from dpjuart, thanks Dave! Poured a deep murky brown color with a thin beige head that faded to a ring. Aroma of wheat, light caramel, banana, and cloves. Sweet, lightly crisp entry with some caramel, a dry wheatiness with some clove and banana, and a lightly dry, spicy finish. Moderate carbonation and decent bite on the palate. Overall, an enjoyable weizenbock, and it isn’t my favorite style. Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA Nov 16, 2008 Pours brown with a nice creamy tan head. Smells of bananas, cloves, rick sweet malt. Tastes of wheat and sweet malt with a nice tarte hint on the finish.
