Commercial Description:
Created by Rodney Kibzey, Illinois Rodney describes his wonderfully complex brew as "deep amber in color with a full creamy body and a dark fruit and clove aroma." This traditional Bavarian style brew took Rodney a few batches to perfect, but the taste is worth all of his hard work.

Very hazy, murky brown in color with a small light-brown head that falls to a thin ring. Aroma of caramelized banana, toffee, sweet wheat and walnuts. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter flavor with caramel and herbal hops and a nutty finish. Very light alcohol detected in the aftertaste. Still, a fantastic offering - Boston Beer Co. would be foolish to not produce this regularly, or at least seasonally.

Maybe I need to try this again b/c I couldn’t finish it. Wasn’t bad but just sort of boring and to sweet and not much wheat flavor. Maybe I shouldn’t be comparing to Aventinus either but they did pretty much set the standard.

Well done, has got a real clove taste and smell that reminds of Autumn ham, the malts are nice and plentiful with the a strong hop body.

The aroma is very good and quite sweet. The aroma has juicy fruit bubble gun, banana, candy sugar, and dark malt. The appearance is deep red with an impressive head. The flavor is like the aroma with cloves. The palate is smooth. Overall a good beer.

Hazy brown pour, thin fizzy head. Sweet malty nose. SOft clean mouth-feel, malty flavor. For me it was a little too much clove

Pours deep, dark red-brown out of bottle. Not a ton of head or carbonated fizziness. Creamy, soft mouthfeel with fruit + spice in the wheat brew as advertised. Great aroma. This should be adopted into normal production by Sam. Great recipe.

Bottle. Nice looking pour. Sweet smell and taste. Not bad for a Sammy. I would drink a couple more.
