| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 20, 2009 poured out gold with a bubbly head that fell rather quick. smell of citrus and pine. oarnge is present in the aroma, but i didnt add anything to the beer. the taste is sweet with a little hop flavor present with the forground and at the end of my palate. not much aftertaste and there is lacing around the glass. drinkabiltity is fair but i wouldnt want to drink this all night long. floydian1 (272), FNQ, Australia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 9, 2009 0.5l bottle into weizen glass. Pours cloudy orange with a smaller (off white) head than most wheat beers. The prominent aroma is tangerines with caramel wheat malts and alcohol in the background. Sweet tangerines are again dominant on the tongue with touches of lemon citrus and spicy hops. The alcoholic presence comes through at the end. It is medium to full bodied with a rather sticky texture. Certainly an unusual take on the style (shouldn’t a weizen bock be dark?) but it is still largely successful in my opinion.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Bottle. Poured a murky orange with a small white head. First impressions are very good, very refreshing. Nice amount of citrus, watermelon, grapefruit, coriander, vanilla, some hops(but not too many). Aroma is decent, finish is a little dry but good. Carbonation is spot on too. Complex, refreshing and tasty. cking (1019), North Canton, Ohio, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 7, 2009 Wonderful fresh aroma of pale malts followed quickly by pineapple peach and a zesty grassiness. Dark orange-yellow color, big lasting head and splotchy lacing. Quenching and lighter to medium bodied with a noticeable high alcohol finish and a subtle bitterness. Crisp hop flavors, spicy and green. The hops lead to a plush fruitiness that’s not quite all citrus. Sweet doughy malt with some grainy grass and a faint alcohol push. astrofrk (218), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

Nose is banana apple pineapple, coriander, clove, clean linen. Taste is citrus hops, laundry detergent, banana creme and pine. Mouthfeel is lively smooth and medium weight. This is a damn good underrated beer. TChrome (1299), Bedford, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 4, 2009 Beer pours dark golden color with a totally retained off white colored head. Aroma is compelling with notes of clove, orange peel, and sweet bread. Flavor is intially sweet with some enjoyable spiciness in the finish. If weizen bocks are supposed to be strong and dark, I am not sure this fits the style descpription. It is an enjoyable beer in its own right, and I agree with KAaggie might more resemble a saison than anything else. daknole (2885), Plantation, Florida, USA
