Cloudy and a l little darker gold than the pale yellow of their hefeweizen. Much the same flavor and aroma profile, with banana and fruity esters and a yeasty breadiness. This carries a bit more of a punch, though with a noticable taste of the higher ABV. Very good effort.

Draft at the brewpub. Nice hazy orange with a gluey head. Quite drinkable in a nice banana-laced weizeny way, with just a hint of the alcohol. (#3742, 11/7/2009).

TAP @ Newport: cloudy yellow/gold/orange pour, foamy white head. Sweet aroma with wheat, banana, and clove. Smooth taste with flavor similar to the aroma, very nice. Slightly more body than the Munich Weizen.

Big yeasty nose, murky orange color, foamy off-white head. Full sweet wheat and barly body. Banana, clove, apricot, caramel. All intensified by the alcohol. Excellent weizenbock.

Draft. Poured a hazy golden brown with a moderate white head that diminished slowly. Light sweet aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Good spice and malt flavor with a short finish.
