750ml caged&corked bottle. Pours a deep, cloudy, glowing orange gold with a very thick, though short-lived, white head that never dissipates completely and leaves a few strings and spots of lace on the glass. The aroma is a big whiff of fresh hop leaves - citrus and freshly-mown grass. After your nose gets through the hops, there are spicy phenolic aromas (allspice), subtle fruit (plums, peaches), and a subtle sweet malt aroma. The flavor starts in a very complex fashion: alcohol, grassy hops, chewy malted wheat, and spices. Fruitiness and funkiness grow as the beer ventures towards mid-tongue. Hop bitterness also grows. The finish is somewhat dry, bitter from both hops and ethanol, and very complex with fruity esters and spicy phenols. The mouthfeel is luxurious - creamy, sudsy and soft, full-bodied, and densely carbonated. Overall, an absolutely awesome beer. I don’t think weizenbock, however, is a remotely suitable appellation. More like an American Strong Ale (tastes more like a Belgian Strong Ale thanks to the funk from the Schneider yeast). Regardless of style, this beer is awesome - a total home run (and it comes only one day after the last home run I tasted: Allagash Hugh Mallone...)

Nov 7, 2009 From the 750 ml bottle with no lot code or bottling/expiration date. Corked top that pops off and travels about 12 feet across my living room. The pour is a slightly clouded orange-amber with a two inch thick puffy white head. A pungent orange peel and clove aroma penetrates the senses. The mouthfeel is bold. From the start this brew comes on strong with a powerful mix of alcohol, citrus, and a dry-hopped ending. A powerful one for sure.

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Medium sized white fizzy head with good retention, cloudy straw body, and a ring of lacing. The aroma is sweet, clove, banana, spicy, citrus hops. The flavor is sweet, clove, spicy, banana, mango, citrus hops, and mildly bitter. The mouthfeel is tingly and this is a medium bodied beer. Overall, a very balanced aroma/flavor, worthy of a try, and a beer I would drink again. More please!

Oct 29, 2009 Part of a back log. Bottle. Translucent yellow with a white head. Very interesting mix of flavors. There is a certain banana and vanilla that is apparent before some of the bitterness takes over. Certainly a strong flavor, but it is fairly available and highly recommended.

It was high pressure in that bottle, ater the cork had disappered I put the thing on the table - after 5 sec it started to spurt. No wonder the fermentation (0,5 cm 1/2 a year storage) was mixed in!
AR.: yeast, strawberry, apricot
AP: weize cloudy, mostly lasting rocky head
F: yeast, strawberry, apricot, german äppelmos, medium strong bitterness - long lasting finishing. I can recommend this Weisse, but be careful while opening!

Oct 17, 2009 Bottle (75 cl) from Systembolaget. Hazy golden with white head. Tropical fruit hop character, some weak phenolic notes as well. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Nicely balanced, dryer than the Schneider-Brooklyn version, and a bit more bitterness as well.

Oct 11, 2009 Sampled at GABF. Here’s a beer I’d been looking to try for a while. Golden color with pillowy white head. Aroma of bright hops and some spices. Flavor is hoppy and light, with lots of banana and bubblegum coming through. Though this was really good, and glad I finally got to try it.

Oct 9, 2009 This was an amazing brew. It was a little too old but it still blew me away. It is available again so I will re rate as soon as I find a fresher bottle.
