Commercial Description:
Do not waste time attempting to box this brew into some esoteric guide to styles. This is Dan’s bold creation. His passion for unfiltered Weiss collides with Cascade Hops inventing our Imperial Hefe-Weizen. Dry hopping boldly rules over Wisconsin red wheat and our special strain of Bavarian yeast. At almost 20 O.P. this is the super mac daddy of Weiss beers. Decoction mashing was followed by excessive dry hopping to create a fierce onslaught of clove, cinnamon and citrus all in this living beer. Don’t bother waiting to enjoy - the time is now.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of wheat and fruits. The flavor is sweet malty with very strong notes of fruit - especially peaches, leading to a dry and lightly bitter finish.

12 fl oz, courtesy of Papsoe/SoLan. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Dry wheaty and malty aroma. Sweet malty and slight caramelish to a mild wheaty base flavour. Mild acidic and light fruity. On the dark side of malt/wheat flavours. Smooth and mellow yeasty finish with a lasting malt impression into the far finish.

Bottle. Weak spicy aroma. Hazy dark golden colour. Small white head. The flavour starts off with some coriander, turns nicely sweet and then rather peppery. Not as fat or wheaty/bananay as expected.

Mode: Bottle
Source: Trade

Appearance: cloudy orange, creamy beige head, sudsy lace,
Aroma: huge banana aroma fills the air upon popping the cap but closer inspection revels it is partially obscured in the glass by a spicy clove character,
Flavor: big sweet fruity flavor, lots of orange and tangerine sweet citrus, hint of fruity banana, touch of spicyness adds balance along with the raspy wheat character, additional earthyness leaves a lingering bitter finish,
Overall: Dan is a genious

Opaque yellow, with not much head. Woody, slightly citrusy hop nose with some banana and light nutmeg. Fun- really piney, limey, bubblegummy, with light spicy, yeast and alcohol, too.
