Bottle. Low fluffy and quickly disappearing white head. Hazy golden body. Strange fruity malt sour aroma and flavor with low carbonation and a short aftertaste. Alcohol well hidden.

Clear medium orange color with virtually none head. Aroma is light malty, light to moderate yeasty, fruity, tart citrus notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet, light fruit acidic and light bitter with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090821]

I'd never heard of this but picked it up because of the name, the bottle (33 oz) and the style (weizenbock). Has some bock like characteristics with mild caramel malts but compares more to an amber lager. Mostly sweet with a grainy dry finish. Decent beer but a little disappointing given the first looks.

I liter swing top bottle purchased at the Nugget in South Davis. Last bottle that I saw. New label is blue in color that has the same diamond logos, but says "Duke’s Weizen Bock" under "Big Ass Bock". Pineapple-estery aroma with sweet notes present as well. A little pepperiness and some banana as well. I also detect some ethanol in the nose, too. An ok aroma. Mostly transparent dark golden color with a small, quickly dissipating off-white head. I would like this to be a bit darker in color. Sweet, sugary start, with some estery banana notes later on. A little roastiness is present as well. Nuts are also there. This is pretty sweet, but there are some wheat notes present. A little unbalanced, and not horrifically true to style, but I have had worse. I do not get any infection notes at all, and I am scratching my head about all of the horrifically low ratings.

Cloudy golden with a small white head. Malt and yeast aroma. Dry and fruity flavour, slightly tart

Bottle 100 cl. Hazy golden with tiny floaties and a small off-white head. Unclean tart citric aroma. Medium body, tart citrus with a dry finish. Infected. 210809

1L bottle, labeled as the Weizenbock. Thanks for the big ass bottle, tpkenned!
Semi-translucent and buffed copper in color with an oily haze on top that vanishes mere seconds later. Burnt honey and cardboard set the stage while aromatic reinforcements come by means of circus peanuts, nectar, cloverleaf, butterscotch and buttered rum. Nougats and artificial almond flavors come full circle and reunite with the sodden cardboard characteristic. White chocolate melds with butterscotch, moving into a hazelnut bran breakfast cereal melody with a hint of sweetened soy milk hanging on the end. Circus peanuts are still detectable, as well as the two Christmases ago, faded and stale holiday nougats. Evaporated milk and the innards of malted milk balls give off-flavors to the town’s most heinous frozen custard rendition. Effervescent sting fades into banana-toffee bubblegum at moments end, as it fades into the poster child of mediocrity.
