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.

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.

Cloudy brown pour with a big creamy tan head. Lots of spice and fruit in the aroma. Nice sweet grain flavor with the spice and fruit coming through again. The alcohol was noticeable at first, but was warming as I drank more. Nice on the palate, well rounded. Seriously enjoyable!

Nice brown pour with very large brownish head. Very sweet smelling nose. Flavor is brown sugar sweet with just a touch of spice. Nice texture and clean finsih.
