Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA May 3, 2008 Draft. Pours brown with a light tan head. Aroma of banana, wheat, clove, and a hint of chocolate. Flavor is toasted malts, banana, light caramel, and a touch of spice. Light to medium bodied with a smooth and refreshing finish. JB175 (1654), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 15, 2008 Darker brown-amber with a medium head. Aroma has some graininess, roast, and light wheat. Flavor has a heavy malt profile with some wheat, light roast. OK, but not a great representation of the style IMHO and nowhere near as good as the Moonglow W-Bock. Given its high rating, maybe a weak batch? joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Dec 28, 2007 hazy dark golden appearance with nice white head. flavor is a great example of the style with an initial nice maltiness that finishes with the classic sweet smoothness of a wheat beer. i wouldn’t say the beer is amazing, but just a very flavorful brew Arayaga2 (933), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 24, 2007 Dark brown with a huge whipped cream head. Light grapey aroma. Taste is of slightly fermented garbage diluted with sparkling cherry water. Tap @ Tria 16oz/$2.50 ElGaucho56 (386), USA Sep 23, 2007 draft @ BSP. Pours a deep brown with slightly off-head. Massive aroma of bananas, clove, somewhat thin on the palate, not much flavor to back up the aroma, some hazelnut, mostly fizzy, an ok dunkel. PilsnerPeter (2585), Flushing, New York, USA Sep 22, 2007 Tap at Blind Tiger: Pours a murky, purple-ish brown with a deep khaki head. Aroma has some chocolate, lots of banana, fig, and cinnamon. Has a full mouth feel. There are roasty flavors upfront that go well with a slightly sharp wheat malt hint. Has hints of raspberries, peat and a hint of smoke in the finish. A fairly well made Dunkelweizen. JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Sep 22, 2007 Tap at Blind Tiger. Murky amber/brown beer. Aroma of licorice and clove. Light banana and a hint of smoky phenols. Light fruitiness and a nice toasted wheat aroma as well. Medium bodied and the flavour really doesn’t deliver on the aroma, a bit watery with light chocolate and a bit of molasses. Meh. puzzl (2579), New York, New York, USA Sep 20, 2007 Tap at Blind Tiger. Another disappointment. I almost wonder if the lines were screwed up, or the van got baked in the sun, but BT is such a premier bar and I’ve never had any issue with QC at all, so I doubt it. Chocolately aroma, lightly malty, peanuty. Milky and dry, oats, with a lactic flavor that I noticed in all 3 beers I had that night. Kind of off-putting and screwy.
