RCL (855), Boston, Massachusetts, USA May 2, 2008 Slightly squashy, pumpkin-y flavor. A bit sweet with caramel flavors. Not too boozy for the ABV.
General_Gao (2219), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Apr 25, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured a clear medium orange color with an off white head. Smelled of red wine vinegar mostly with hints of clove. Slightly acidic and vinous with raisin, fig, and toffee notes. Eh. hopdog (4196), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 23, 2008 12oz bottle marked BB March 08. Poured a medium brownish color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of cloves/spices, trace of bananas, and ’sweaty’ wheat. Tastes of the same clove/spiciness, bananas (more than the aromas), wheat, and some chocolate. Light alcohol in the finish but overall well hidden. 00cobraR (886), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Apr 22, 2008 Pours out a dark brown color with a small head. Aroma has hints of banana, and wheat. Just as your typical weizen bock would. The flavor at first was nothing but booze. It was less than desirable. As it warmed the alcohol was subdued or my taste buds were shot. Im not a big fan of this style and this one had too much alcohol. heemer77 (3265), North Liberty, Iowa, USA Apr 20, 2008 Dark copper body with a yellowish amber head. The aroma is sweet with lots of apples and some caramel. There is also some fresh pancakes with syrup. The taste is fairly bitter with some grapefruit and a tannic notes, like tea that has steeped for too long. There is also some banana peel, but it’s dominated by a strong cough syrup character. The finish is dry and the flavor is long lingering, not a good thing. It leaves me nearly gagging as it doesn’t get any smoother going through the glass I poured. Possibly the biggest difference in smell to taste I have tried in a beer.
