Tröegs Dreamenator

Formerly brewed at Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: Dunkelweizen
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

On tap, Kennett Square Fest 2006. Pours a slightly cloudy medium brown colored body under a small beige head. Aroma was full of fruity esters, bananas most prominantly, along with some yeast, cloves, and toasted nutty malt. Flavor wise it sort of came across as almost weizenbock like. Nutty and toasted malt under a fruity yeasty slightly sweet middle. Finishes with a little yeasty spiciness and banana. Mouthfeel was medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, an interesting beer, you can really taste the contribution from each beers influence.

On tap at the KSBF ’06. Poured a darker orangish color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of grain, cereal, nuts, light caramel, and bananas. Tastes of cereal, caramel, nuts, and banans.

Poured a hazy, amber brown color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of banana, roast, nuts, caramel malts, and light clove. Taste of roasted malts, caramel, nuts, banana, and citrus, with a light hoppiness in the finish.

Aroma: Mostly grassy with a hint of banana Appearance: Thick white head on top of a cloudy reddish brown body. Excellent lacing as you drink it down. Unfiltered Flavor: Initially malty and sweet, fading into a lasting nutty sweetness with some bitter hops notes. Walnut comes to mind. Palatte: Thick, full bodied, smooth, with med. carbonation. I really wanted to be the first to review a beer, and today I get my chance. I took the tour and John Trogner proved to be very gracious and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions with enthusiasm. I think I would prefer the regular Troegenator if my money were on the line, this is an interesting brew and I’d drink it again, but it’s not my favorite from Troegs. I took some home in a growler so I will be trying this again tonight and tomorrow, and sharing.
