Clipper City Heavy Seas Hang Ten

From the tap poured a dark brown with a small head. Nice solid flavor malty with a lingering finish.

Pours brown in color with reddish brown highlights around the edges. Just a slight froth forms on the pour, not much head at all. Smell and taste are both a beef jerky kind of flavor. Pretty big on the mouthfeel. Not a lot of hops here, but delcious malt and weizenbock flavor. Weizenbocks are quickly becoming a favorite style of mine. Decent beer, not overly complex. The Avery 13 is better.

12oz bottle from Kingdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a reddish-brown with one-finger tan head that settles quickly. Aroma is wheat, bread, yeast, some sweet malt and maybe hints of sour ripe fruit. Somewhat odd aroma emanating from my glass that are hard to put a finger on. Flavor is sugary and sweet like candy sugar and maple syrup with malty notes and toasted wood. Medium body with a slightly bitter and sweet finish. Still dont like the nose, but the taste is better.

THOUGHTS: I couldn’t find this one last year. Glad to finally get my hands on it. I was a little disappointed at first, but as it warmed it became a really nice beer. It hid the alcohol really well until it hit the belly. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a murky, medium brown with a small, off-white head. The aroma was moderate chocolate malt, moderate yeast, wheat, spices and some banana. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and acidic; while the finish was moderately sweet and acidic with a hint of sourness and an average to long duration. There was lots os chocolate malt and some wheat, spices and yeast. The medium body was sort of syrupy with soft carbonation and a light astringent finish.

dark brown with slight head for a weizen. flavor starts with sweet esters of wheat then some darker malt tones. a strong alcohol finish provides some depth
