Apr 9, 2006 Cloudy beige colour (deliberately pale). Fairly heavy yeast (flower, clove, banana) aroma. Assertive banana, spice, bubblegum, alcohol and pale bready malt character. A bold, brash mix...solid weizenbock. Weizenmaibock I should say. Not sure I’ve ever had one of those before, but it’s a good idea.

Oct 27, 2007 @GCBF-on tap-pours a thick creamy off white head and cloudy brown/yellow color. Aroma is clove, secondary banana, wheat. Taste is clove, banana, wheat/malt-sweet.

Apr 20, 2006 Draught, sold as Maibock Fully, hazy orange; small off-white head. Diacetyl! and a lot of it; further some pine and lots of malts. Diacetyl, to the point of being slightly sourish - buttery. Sweet-ish, malty notes but ruined by the diacetyl. Very smooth, good body, slick. This is supposed to be a.... Weizenbock. Then bl... LAGER your beers.

Sep 11, 2007 (Draught) Sampled at the Great Canadian Beer Festival 2007 in Victoria on September 8th, 2007. Peppery banana aroma. Pure banana flavour but little malt counterbalance and too lightly hopped. Pretty bad for this style.

Sep 13, 2007 GCBF sample. Cloudy dark yellow. Fair head. Light banana nose. Thick malty body seems to thin as you drink. Alcohol start. Banana finish.

Apr 9, 2007 Big banana nose, very faint on the cloves. Thick on the palate without much carbonation to break it up, it felt very heavy. Ligher in color, more like an amber hue, with a small white head. Enjoyable throughout with a ton of yeast esters and big wheat flavor.

Apr 16, 2006 Quite rich and tasty. Big nose of bubblegum and bananas. Flavor is a puree of bananas and clove mixed with some other spiciness and a day old bread maltiness, chewy and kind of grainey. Enjoyable.

Jul 26, 2007 On tap at Amore restaurant, Seattle. Great banana clove arom, wheaty and very sweet. Light fruity hops. Very aromatic. Cloudy butterscotch amber with no head. Medium heavy body with medium carbonation. Starts sweet with wheaty chewiness, banana esters, light clove, and light brown sugar. Although it’s bit too sugary, this is really well balanced and full flavored. Good stuff.
