Oct 7, 2008 12 oz bottle in LongShot mixpack. Pours a hazy red-orange brown with ample off-white crown that has moderate retention and somewhat fingery lacing. Aroma is full of spices, cloves and cinnamon, with heavy malt character and caramel and toffee sweetness. There is also a good bit of biscuit with some kind of phenol in the nose. Unusual to say the least. Flavour is intensely malty from the beginning with almost no hop bitterness throughout. There is also some kind of phenol and ester that lingers on the palate after the taste that makes this a bit unusual with the wheat malt aftertaste. Mediium-bodied, this beer finishes a bit cleanly with some discernible EtOH burn as the beer warms. Great beer if you like this style, but not my cup of tea.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle. Sweet peach/banana, clove and wheat malt with just a hint of alcohol. Cloudy orange-brown color with small head. Sweet ripe banana/peach, clove, and wheat malt flavor. Light alcohol aftertaste. A spectacular beer - they really need to make this a regular beer. I just automatically expect that US Weizens won’t match German ones but this is one that not only stands up to the style but exceeds my expectations. Thank God I found this beer.

Sep 25, 2008 This beer pours anice dark brown with a good tan head, I really like the way the yeast provides the appropriate clove flavor that is definitive of the style. Good Malt bill nice hopping Excellent beer for autumn and the Hollidays.

Aug 23, 2008 Poured a cloudy brown. Definitely smell of clove. Was pretty good, until a fly landed in it. Thankfully was almost done so he didn’t get much of it.

Aug 13, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours sludgy brown with a creamy offwhite head, good lace. Smells of bready malt, clove and sweet spices. Tastes bready malty and spicy sweet, fruity with a bit of pepper. Medium body, good carbonation.

Aug 4, 2008 12oz bottle. Wow, this smells pretty good! Rich and spicy with cloves, dark fruit and banana. There is a floral aspect as well. Dark copper color with a one fingered, off-white head, gentle carbonation, and lots of clinging foam. Sediment is visible in the bottle. The taste is dark fruits, spice, cocoa, appropriate alcohol, and some banana bread at the finish. The finish is flavorful, but well balanced and very drinkable. Rich, full mouthfeel. What a wonderful beer, Rodney was very much deserving of this award. It strikes a balance in all aspects, the clove and fruitiness from the yeast is present but not overpowering, the same can be said for the malt character and really every other part of the beer.

does not count  Aug 4, 2008 I picked up a bottle this weekend at 99 Bottles on Auburn, WA. It poured kind of a merky muddy brown with for me No Head. though once swirled in the glass built a nice tan head. It feels very smooth creamy which was quite pleasent. This is my first Weizen Bock and i enjoyed it emensely.
