May 18, 2008 Aromas of light malts, banana and some hops with a hint of ginger and clove. Poured with large white head that left good lacing. Light in color and hazy. Flavor was lightly sweet with a slightly acidic finish.

May 18, 2008 On tap at Capone’s. Pours very muddy yellow orange with white head and some lace. The aroma is citrus first then clove and strong wheat character. The flavor seems milder that the other version. Clove then banana with some pine bitterness. Medium body. Sprite carbonation. Dry finish. Good.

May 18, 2008 Medium hazy gold, big lasting head, attractive. Aroma is complex, with light clove, banana, and lemony citric notes. Flavor is a full wheat flavor, definitely letting you know that it is a weizenbock. Clove and banana yeast notes come through well, with banana edging out the clove. This is a good thing, as it works better with the hops, which add a lemon and orange bitter finish. Enjoyable. This combination worked better in my opinion than the New Glarus Unplugged Imperial Wheat. Enjoyed this quite a bit.

May 17, 2008 As I was gathering the words to explain this beer, I was surprised at how accurate malrubius’s comments are (3 posts down). Orange, honey and peach followed by a ’fruit peel’ bitterness. This is the second year I’ve had this beer, and still do not like it. It tastes like a screwdriver (vodka and orange juice)

May 16, 2008 Pours like a traditional weizen with a huge pillowy head. Candyish aroma with apricot and grapefruit notes. Very boozy taste with moderate hop bitterness. I like the hops, but I didn’t care for the heavy alcohol in the finish. I realize it’s 8.2%, but I wish it was better balanced.

May 14, 2008 20080514 750ml bottle. As the cork is disgorged a huge tropical fruit aroma emerges followed by some dank Amarillos. Oh boy, this one’s a treat! Attractive cloudy golden color with sticky, medium sized white head. besides the pungent hops, there is an underlying wheaty sweetness and fruity, doughy yeast that carries through the flavor and right to the finish. Soft, full, somewhat lip smacking palate and brisk finishing bitterness are entirely complimentary. Lovely stuff. this is the kind of beer that, if offered regularly, could really boost the value of Brooklyn in my eyes.

May 12, 2008 Hazy golden amber body with a medium frothy white head. Light clove aroma with some floral and citrus hops and a bit more spice. Clove flavor, light banana, light spice, and citrus and floral hops. Medium body with moderately high carbonation and a sharp spicy bite in the end.

May 12, 2008 Bottle - RFD. Hazed bright gold, fluffy white head. Lemon meringue and honeyed banana nose rides layers of grassy citrus and notes of spiced pine. Smooth spicy clove and yeasty banana flavors balance on big citric piney hop tones. Just great integration between the styles. Full bodied, soft carbonation, drying, fruity hop finish. This brew is rockin it hard! Great work here...
