Oct 2, 2008 Poured from tap at brewery a hazy amber with large off-white head. Aroma is sweet with banana, bubblegum and clove. Flavor is sticky sweet with bubblegum, caramel, banana, and a touch of clove spice. Overall nice flavor and aroma but the low carbonation and big sweetness made this one harder to drink in hot weather than it should have been.

Sep 10, 2008 On tap at Mission Valley location. Aroma was of huge banana/bubblegum; hints of alcohol and spice. Color of amber/orange; big off white head. Flavor was not as good as the aroma. Flavor was good, but too mellow of a banana flavor. Tasted more alcoholic than its listed. Not too great for a style I like; but still tasty.

Mar 18, 2008 GB in Bolingbrook. Jude’s 40th. Enjoyed this- chestnut brown- their "seasonal" selection. Good head, more on the spicy side (e.g., all-spice or licorice) with hints of weiss and banana. Interesting- a bit like the Weinhestephaner Korbinian I had a couple of weeks ago.

Feb 5, 2008 Very nice beer, but I think I’m rating it as a dunkelweizen as opposed to the weizen bock that it is, seeming to me more like the former. Certainly the stronger ABV is well hidden. It pours a cloudy deep chestnut brown body with a substantially sized tan head. Lots of lace. The aroma has scents of aging bananas, a chocolatey malt, soft wheat, a hint of clove, and rust. Fluffy mouthfeel. The malt is caramelly in the flavor, the bananas get even older, a mild nutty bitterness enters the picture, and the spices are muted. Sweet fruity finish. Not too shabby.

A good looking beer, and an even better tasting beer than I was expecting. I was very plesantly suprised. The aroma left a little to be desired, but it was delicious.
