4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
750 ml bottle shared with my friend Jeff. Reads 8.5% ABV, so not sure why there’s inconsistency here, unless there have been different batches. Poured a volcanically effervescent golden with a fizzy frothy white head that lasted quite a while. Aroma of sharp grass and pine hops, overshadowing the yeast esters so much that I found the ensuing taste rather surprising. Flavors are of course the bitter and grassy hoppiness, but the banana and clove yeast esters make their way into the palate towards the finish. The marriage of the two flavors is quite refreshing, and endears a hophead like myself even more to this style. An excellent effort, and one that I hope will be more than a one-time bottling.

The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of wheat, yeast and coriander, leading to a dry hop finish. Pretty good, don’t know if I’d buy it again, doesn’t have enough caramel and malts for my palate.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle: Poured a cloudy dirty beige color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry hoppy notes with some citrus notes with a heavy side of wheat malt with light residual sugar notes. Taste is a good mix between a solid wheat malt backbone with light residual sugar which are balanced by some pretty dry hoppy notes with light citrus undertones. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Very solid and unique offering. I would definitely like to try again.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Hazy, unclear golden-yellow beer with a very big off-white head. Aroma is wheat, honey, caramel, citrus, tropical fruits. Taste is sweet, with a good amount of spice, and a lot of alcohol. Finish is dry, alcoholic. Medium bodied, well carbonated. Not bad, but the alcohol is too present for me.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled this multiple times, draft and bottle. Not really my style of beer but it is pretty well made. Fairly hoppy when fresh, banana, sweet malts. A little booze in the finish.

Very spicy and fruity aroma of hops, yeast and licorice. Big hops aromatic flavor with a spicy tone and hints of citrus. The alcohol is noticeable vaguely in the finish along with a slightly harsh hops bitterness. A very nice and palatable beer!
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml corked bottle pours a golden orange color with a huge bubbly white head that settles quickly leaving some spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma is light fruits with some spices and hops with a trace of yeast on the nose. Taste is light fruit and malt sweetness with some spices and a citrusy hoppy bitterness. Pleasant carbonation and body for a satisfying mouthfeel. A very enjoyable weizen bock that leaves one wanting more.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Had the zymatore version of this. Tart, sour smell. Pours slightly cloudy yellow, no head. Tastes lemony and tart, with notes of oak and gin/juniper. Finishes a bit dry.
