Growler from BBB63 at the ’07 SAF. Poured a slightly hazed deep copper color with an off-white head. the pour looks real thick. Dark fruit aroma with some wheaty lemon notes. Light tartness. The flavor was fruity with golden raisins, wheaty notes and sugar.

PP Strong Ale Fest 07. Growler from BBB63, Thanks Mike. This weizen bock poured a medium amber color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, sweet and caramel. A medium bodied weizen bock. The malts are fruity and sweet, touch of banana ester. The hops are earthy and floral. Lively carbonation. Very smooth. Nicely balanced. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
