Gilded Otter Weizen Bock

Pretty decent brew. Not the best weizen I’ve tried. Pale cloudy, light orange, yellow appearance, barely any head. Slight clove, citrus aroma. Kinda weak citrus flavor, yeasty, thin taste.

(Draught) Cloudy gold with a thin, white head. Nose of ripened bananas. Slightly tart with an initial banana punch. Wains quickly.

First off, this is the palest weizenbock I have ever seen...Second, the omnipresence of the clovey bananas and the absence of any other kind of fruitiness and maltiness suggest that this is not a weizenbock as advertised but rather a regular weizen...A good beer, but would certainly be a disappointment for lovers of Aventinus Weizenbock or Ramstein Winter Wheat...

For starters, everything about this beer says witbier not weizen bock. Pale straw colour. Mild banana and clove in the aroma and flavour. Some phenols. A bit thin and undercarbonated. On tap at TapNY festival.

TAP NY sample. Opaque cloudy bright amber; light banana-clove nose, hints of black currants; little bock character; fruity, rather decent if boring Wit, basically.
