Wynkoop El Hefe Weizenbock

Brewed by Wynkoop Brewing Company
Style: Weizen Bock
Denver, Colorado USA

Draft at the brewpub, GABF weekend. Nice hazy brown muddiness with a thin but sticky foam top. The aroma is almost banana creme pie. As it drinks, the banana essence stays in the background, with the yeasty side playing the leading role. Finishes with a sharp biting bitterness that lingers. Very nice representation of the style.

Quite a potent beer here. Very rich aroma with lots of clove, banana, and even malt. Beer is very sweet, but not cloying. Body is full. Wow, good stuff.

This was far and away the best beer I had during my visit to the Weizen Bock brewpub, and I thought it far better than its reviews here. I thought this beer had an interesting look, and a ton of unique flavors. This beer appeared foamy and opaque with bubbles, much like a well-poured Guinness. Color was a bit orangy-brown, like clay-muddy water. The beer had a ton of head that towered over the rim of the glass that contained it. Aroma was of some spiciness (clove?) and mintiness. Intrigued, I took a sip, and I got hints of mint, clove, coriander, and other spices backed by a significant malt presence. Mouthfeel was substantial, and felt right. I thought this beer was delicious; I’d recommend it highly. I had this on-tap at the Wynkoop brewpub.

Draft at Wynkoop. Murky bronze. Nose is banana, bubblegum, and spice. Taste reveals a bit too much of the spice up front while continuing the banana and bubblegum flavors. Some sweet malts as well. Body is medium with lots of carbonation feel. Finishes with more spice notes, wheat, bubblegum and fruit notes.

Draught at the brewpub. hazy orange-brown color with bubbly off white head that left some lace. Distinct banana and clove aromas. Flavor was similar with a smoky bacon note. Strange, but pretty good.

sampled at the brewpub. Cloudy brown with a medium sized off whtie head. Aroma is alot of banana, some wheat/sweet caramel malts and alcohol. Taste is banana, estery fruit, wheat/malt, bready, and lightly spicy with a strong alcohol presence in the finish.

Big bannana, fruit, bubblegum aroma. Very nice enticing aroma. smells great, but looks a mess: Odd looking is the best that can be said for it. It looks like a caramel dulce de leche heavy on the milk and caramel syrup. It is completely opaque to the point of ridiculousness. sports a thumb thick creamy tan head. Yeast and sugar notes int he fore are followed by HUGE bubblegum notes, mild bannana, spice, nilla wafer-like flavors and a dash of cloves. It has a very thick and creamy mouthfeel.
