troopie (847), USA Oct 30, 2009 Bottle. Poured deep sanguine with thick white head. Aroma of cloves and caramel. Citrus, clove and banana, with spicy and hop finish. sound67 (140), Offenbach, Germany Oct 30, 2009 50cl bottle, as shown. Big, soapy beige head with little retention. Hazy, almost opaque mud brown colour. Aroma of yeast, malt and banana - with a strong alcoholic note, evidence of the 8.2 % abv which are unusual for a weizen. Full, thick, smooth mouthfeel, very pleasant. Taste is sweet bananas, some citric notes to keep things fresh, some herbs, with a smooth, alcoholic finish and after taste. It’s not one of the best-balanced beers out there, as the added alcohol is in evidence throughout. Nonetheless it drinks very nicely, with a lot of flavours - be on guard. A heavy-footer for a weizen, but not in a bad way. mrhoppy (207), Santa Clara, California, USA Oct 29, 2009 Tops in it’s class. So delicious. Strong yet so smooth. Spices are up front but they are not offensive like many other wheat beers. TheHulk (103), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Oct 28, 2009 Strong armoas of malts, bananas cloves and smooth yeast. A nice and dark beer That looks EXACTLY like the picture with that same glass. The malts come out in the taste but after you get the banana and cloves tastes, it’s all very smooth and nicely complimented by the easy yeast taste and the bubbles on the palate. Quite a nice dark beer, the strange name kept me away too long. 09maso3 (69), vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 28, 2009 Russet colored with medium white head. Highly carbonated. Traditional wheat aromas; bananas, cloves and dark malts. A lot of banana and vanilla in the flavour. Also licorice and chocolate, hard to detect the alchohol. Thick with quite a lingering sweetness. Really easy drinking for an 8.2% beer, but not as complex as i had hoped for all the hype it gets. thenumber1g (68), Cary, North Carolina, USA Oct 26, 2009 Excellent German Bock! It has a hints of banana, plums, and caramel. It is a very complex beer, it has alot going on. Very good beer, I’ve had it on more then one occasion. keidjxz (41), Irvine, California, USA Oct 21, 2009 Pours amber brown with plenty of head and a sweet fruity aroma. The flavor is dominated by sweet fruit flavors of plums and bananas with a bready quality and a good amount of carbonation and sourness to balance it out. iamqueensblvd (175), , Iowa, USA Oct 14, 2009 delicious dark brown looking pour. frothy tan head that looks beautiful and laces the glass. banana and citrus on the nose with a slight yeast following. delicious banana taste with other fruits following. Very clean mouth feel..very clean on the palate.
