This was dissapointing especially has well as the Hefenweizen was. I know they r 2 different types of beer however this did not have any taste. More like an amber bock by a macro brew.

Bottle. Orange-amber with a thin off white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. I pick up a small herbal character in the nose; mapbe woodruff? Disappointing thin body. Basic caramel malt flavor. Nothing special.

I’ve got to stick up for this beer. I don’t know why it gets knocked. Is it Optimator or Salvator? No. But it’s not a bad bock. The aroma is very pleasing and the taste is smooth and satisfying.

Pours caramel brown with minimal head. Aroma is malt and sweet metallic. Flavor is lacking. Sorta sweet malts, fruit, and that metallic thing pops up again. Has a bit of a bitter finish. Thin, highly carbonated body. Dissapointing.

12oz. Bottle: Very malty aroma with caramel and some hints of horse blanket and grass. Smelling this beer gives me a headache. Poured brown in color with a hint of amber. Medium off-white head diminished quickly but lasted throughout. No lacing. Clear. Very sparkling. Flavor is lightly bitter. Tastes malty and salty. Very unbalanced toward malts. Light body. Thin, watery texture. Lively carbonation. Long malty finish. Overall, this is crap.

WTF is this crap?! Certainly not to style. This is worse than Amber Bock. At least THAT is non offensive. Why does this shit have a following.? Smells like bad malt and old spaghetti in a pot. Taste is slightly sour ,watery crap. Worse than most macro swills.

Amber and fizzy. Sweet at first but then slightly bitter at the end. A very drinkable beer.
