Commercial Description:
Created by Rodney Kibzey, Illinois Rodney describes his wonderfully complex brew as "deep amber in color with a full creamy body and a dark fruit and clove aroma." This traditional Bavarian style brew took Rodney a few batches to perfect, but the taste is worth all of his hard work.

Sweet aroma of dark fruit, with a hint of roast underneath. Pours a nearly opaque dark brown, with a thin tan head. Sweet and spicy flavor, long finish of clove and banana. Touch of alcohol noticeable. Not bad for what is probably one of my least favorite styles.

12 oz bottle in LongShot mixpack. Pours a hazy red-orange brown with ample off-white crown that has moderate retention and somewhat fingery lacing. Aroma is full of spices, cloves and cinnamon, with heavy malt character and caramel and toffee sweetness. There is also a good bit of biscuit with some kind of phenol in the nose. Unusual to say the least. Flavour is intensely malty from the beginning with almost no hop bitterness throughout. There is also some kind of phenol and ester that lingers on the palate after the taste that makes this a bit unusual with the wheat malt aftertaste. Mediium-bodied, this beer finishes a bit cleanly with some discernible EtOH burn as the beer warms. Great beer if you like this style, but not my cup of tea.

Bottle. Sweet peach/banana, clove and wheat malt with just a hint of alcohol. Cloudy orange-brown color with small head. Sweet ripe banana/peach, clove, and wheat malt flavor. Light alcohol aftertaste. A spectacular beer - they really need to make this a regular beer. I just automatically expect that US Weizens won’t match German ones but this is one that not only stands up to the style but exceeds my expectations. Thank God I found this beer.

This beer pours anice dark brown with a good tan head, I really like the way the yeast provides the appropriate clove flavor that is definitive of the style. Good Malt bill nice hopping Excellent beer for autumn and the Hollidays.

Poured a cloudy brown. Definitely smell of clove. Was pretty good, until a fly landed in it. Thankfully was almost done so he didn’t get much of it.
