Jun 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours an average sized (for a Hefeweizen), fluffy, white, lasting head. Clear, deep golden body with abundant yeast clouds and active C02 bubbles. Looks fabulous! Pleasant aroma of wheat malt and spicy, herbal noble hops. Looks like they dry-hopped with Hallertauer. A little bit of Bavarian countryside grass. My only knock on the aroma is the presence of alcohol. Smells a tad boozy. Taste is first and foremost dominated by the yeast - dough, banana, a touch of bubble gum, clove, and vanilla. Some citrus is also present in the flavor profile. Like the aroma, my one gripe with the flavor is the boozy alcohol. Not as bad as some 8%+ beers fall victim to, but still more than necessary. Medium-light, creamy body with lively carbonation and a somewhat bitter finish. Balanced though. Overall a really good pale Weizenbock that could be stellar if the booziness were diminished. I don’t think it necessarily needs to have less alcohol, but cooler fermentation temperatures would possibly help.

Jun 27, 2009 The Brooklyn version was better, but this is one of my favorite light-colored wheat beers ever nonetheless.

Jun 26, 2009 Bottled at RBESG 08 ... Hazy orange ... lively fruity nose ... very light very fruity ... juicy and bubblegum... 3.6
TK2 bottle at home ... amber ... short lived white head ... light soapy lemon little yeast ... light pine hop ... quite bready... juicy ... some hop resins ... 3.5
ok on to side by side with its Brother ...colour more yellow golden ... nose is softer and more soapy ...duller up front but seems to have more depth and a more complex finish ... I suspect this would be a bit easier to drink lots of but it just doent seem to hit the spot quite so well. 3.6
