COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This time the Otter is going to Germany, with "Otterbahn," a weizenbock, set for May release. "Otterbahn" is a unique combination of a hefeweizen (unfiltered wheat beer), and a bock (robust malty ale). The wheat adds a citrus like flavor and light body, the unique yeast strain produces clove like character and banana esters. The addition of toasted malts adds even more complexity to this already full-flavored style. As they say in Germany- prosit!

Goodgrief (1608) - Middletown, Delaware, USA - FEB 10, 2008
Oct. 2006 - They almost got it. Beer poured looking slightly browner than a cola with a cola-like head (moderate but immediately dissipating). Aroma was bubblegum. The flavor had too much bubblegum. It was distracting and overwhelming. Underneath was a nice banana wheaty weizenbock flavor with a nice ashy smokiness to it that balanced nicely. If only the bubblegum flavor could be surgically removed, because it was bad
