Poured a good looking amber color with an off white head that left some lacing. Light aromas and flavors of toasted malt and nuts, fruit, wheat, and spices (mostly nutmeg). A little too thin, slightly creamy. Overall not a bad Weizen Bock, but it left a bit to be desired.

I was really surprised by this beer. A good, unexpected spicy flavor. Average carbonation with a smooth finish.

Pours red brown with a medium sized mostly diminishing light beige head. Aroma of raisins and bread. Malty sweetness with a rather dominant bitter finish. Creamy carbonation in mouthfeel.

355ml bottle, 5.6% ABV, provided by Finn and shared at a Romjuls party. Clear amber body, naked surface. Smell of sweet, earthy malts. Pale malts in flavour mixed with wheat and a mild touch of ginger plus honey sweetness. Clean tasting. Rather anonymous, however, fine with the pickled herring (Tromsø, 27.12.2009).

Pours amber with a massive beige head, most of which lasted a while, and a chocolate and treacle aroma. The flavor is thin dark wheat with a little bitterness. Drinkable, but not remarkable.

This is a stable beer in our household during the winter. Easy to drink and enough flavor not to be boring. Pours a nice translucent brown with a reddish tint. White head with only alittle lacing. The aroma and taste is wheat and malt. Slick texture. Good overall.

12oz. bottle served in a shaker pint. Pours a dark amber with a finger of off white head. Not much in the aroma department, a little caramel sweetness and some noble hops. Light to medium bodied. Wheaty with some malt sweetness, a little bit of spice in the finish. Not a whole lot going on here, but it’s fairly drinkable.
