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.

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.

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.

Cloudy golden with big head. Spicy banana and light citrus aroma and taste. Nice spice to it. You can really taste the alcohol as well...not very subdued. Interesting take on a Weizen Bock. I’d have another.

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.

Foggy amber, thin white head. Aroma is fairly fruity, pineapple esters, almost like a citrus, bubble gum. Taste is bubblegum, fruity, lightly hoppy, lightly alcoholic.

On tap. Hazy, deep golden yellow colored pour with practically no head. Thick aroma of bananas, cream, and a smidgen of clove spice. Medium-full bodied, lightly carbonated mouthfeel. The body is a bit chewy, with only a small amount of carbonation, giving it a slick, oily feel. Flavors of banana, caramelized wheat, and a touch of vanilla. Some bubblegummy yeast rounds out the finish. The flavors are pretty good and improved serving conditions would no doubt improve this somewhat. The color comes as a surprise, but it’s actually quite interesting.

Deep hazy straw body. Thick, chewy wheat malt backbone with fruit sweetness accents. Banana and clove with some random spice hints.

Taster - Hop Scotch Spring Beer Festival – Seattle WA A deep dark cloudy brew with a thin creamy head. This was a deep wheat brew with a lot of wheat and dark grains used. Liked the underlying yeasts that they used. Very sweet in the flavor and at the end it as like bananas and very refreshing. Interesting beer.

Very cloudy golden brown color. Cloudy to the point of looking off. Spicy banana clove nose. Sweet clovey, malty mouth. Excellent backbone. Clovey banana finish. Low carbonation. Full bodied. Bock body, but liitle in character.
