Commercial Description:
This here bottle has a fine layer of yeast at the bottom. It won't send you to Davy Jones' locker, but will protect your brew from the rigors of life at sea! "Hang Ten" is the Heavy Seas wheat beer you've been waiting for. A classic German-style weizenbock, slightly cloudy and bursting with flavor. Hang on and surf the Heavy Seas wave!

Slightly squashy, pumpkin-y flavor. A bit sweet with caramel flavors. Not too boozy for the ABV.

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.

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.

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.

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.
