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!

Murky brown-red body under a small white head. Grape Jolly Rancher, banana, and caramel malt. The flavor kicks in lots of fruity esters, caramelly malt, and a light hop bittering. Lots of fruity goodness in here with no alcohol badness.

12 oz bottle in a trade long ago with dmac. This was fantastic. I liked the flavors of malted banannas sweet and sticky caramel, some clove. This is the second time that a wheat beer caught me by surprise.

12oz via trade, a ways back Pours dark brown with a tan ring. Nose is very aromatic with dark sweet malts lurking below the surface. Taste is sweet with a lot of clove and pepper. Strange Weizenbock.

Cloudy orange-brown pour with lots of stuff floating around. Thin light tan head. Intense clove and banana aroma with molasses and sweet malt. Dry wheaty clove and banana flavor with a noticeable alcohol presence. It doesn’t overpower and actually adds to the flavor. Woody and wheaty. Not bad.

Sampled at the Tampa Lowry Park Zoo WaZoo Festival. A very unique brew with a mix of malt and wheat. Nice unfiltered taste and surprisingly smooth.
