Ober (289), Best, Netherlands Apr 24, 2008 Updated: May 3, 2008It’s a very hazy, dark yellow colored beer. It has a large thick foamy head. The aroma is malty, it has hop bitterness and it’s fruity. The taste is very malty, wheat and has hopbitterness, from American hops. And in the end it’s fresh, as a Spring bock, has to be. It’s good balanced. The totally taste is different, then the most of the Spring/May bock beers. I like this one very much. martinboer (1327), Amsterdam, Netherlands Apr 27, 2008 Bier from Bier Koning. Swell orange body with generous head. Malty nose with some fruit. Very nice taste of wheat, banana and citrus. Finishes very hoppy. Enjoyable and quite refreshing. Ungstrup (11075), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 25, 2008 Bottled at Ølfestival, Århus, 2008. An unclear orangey beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and spicy (from being dry hopped with Amarillo), but also with notes of wheat. The flavor is sweet wheaty with notes of Amarillo hops and cloves, leading to a dry bitter finish. I like the idea of fermenting a wheat bock really warm - and then dry hopping it with Amarillo - now that is a fusion of styles - keep up the good work. JK (2394), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA May 31, 2008 Appropriate for a Spring seasonal. The aroma has Belgian yeast with flowers and herbs, like new vegetation after winter. Cloves and other spices in the flavor, some wheat. Brown color and a medium palate. I might have called this a spiced beer. Thanks to Islay for sharing this one. tennisjoel (725), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA May 28, 2008 Sampled at OSLO’s and Guerde’s tasting courtesy of Islay
Pour is a cloudy orange. Pepper clove aroma. Murky dirty brown pour, like apple cider. Nice peppery flavor; like sampling carrot cake. Solid beer for sure.
