KyotoLefty (3760) - Kyoto, JAPAN - MAY 31, 2009
Draught at the brewery. Cloudy dark gold color. Rich malt aroma with lots of banana and clove. Sweet banana flavor, with a touch of tartness as well and a decently bitter finish. Too sweet. Ok, but not very complex.

omhper (15964) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 24, 2009
Draught at the brewpub. Cloudy golden, small head. Rich banana aroma with some caramel underneath. Mid-sweet with above medium body. A bit of sugar and lots of phenolic mashed banana. No bitterness i a finish with alcohol and dough. A quite drinkable weizenbock on the mild side.

chuwy (34) - JAPAN - MAY 13, 2009
A tad on the astringent and sweet side but not overly sweet. Nicely made. Almost tastes like a normal weissen. The alcohol content is handled well. not abad weissen bock. Not bad.

Capa (1637) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 12, 2009
UPDATED: JUL 24, 2009 Golden with a white head. Fruity aroma with banana, yeast, some spice, and sweet caramel malts. Picked up some coriander among the spices along with a little too much banana, refreshing fruits, light malts, and yeast. Full, smooth mouth. Really enjoyed this one, though the banana was a little strong for me.

Can at GBBF. Alround rating: Wheaty, grassy bittering hop, cleaner than expected, yet still some sugary sweetness.

A Mes rate: Can at GBBF.
Big thanks to Rob Beer for this. You may be thinking I have gone a little bit simple giving this such a good score but something about it just really hit the spot for me. Very cloudy amber yellow. A combination of wheat and rice on the nose that would usually be substandard but works really well here. The flavour is even better. A sour, almost lambic like tartness gives it loads of character and gels really well with the good quality weizen bock underneath. Good stuff, well made, very impressed.
