3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
My Bottom Line:
This Weizenbock’s aroma promises plenty of caramel malt and clovey phenols but the flavor profile also develops tart fruitiness which undermines a building complexity.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the cloudy reddish-brown (as is expected of the style).
-A light biscuit character appears under the crystal malts.
-The nose is that of an authentic Weizenbock, but the flavor profile leaves to be desired somewhat. That tart fruit salad is quite strange...
-Carbonation was soft and drinkability rather high.
