330ml bottle, 6% abv, by the courtesy of Finn. Two-finger sized, beige head, slowly diminishing, leaving spotty lacing to the glassware. Hazy, dark apricot coloured body. The distant smell is made up by pale malts and sweet wheat. Flavour of ripe banana, grain and caramel malts. Notes of yeasty fruitiness to the ending. Medium to thin bodied. Accepted weissen bock (Tromsø 12.04.2013).

0.33 l bottle from Alko. Reddish brown color. Aromas of ripe banana, chocolatey roasted malts and clove. Taste begins sweet with banana but finishes with hard tartness and spiciness which clashes with dark roasted malts. Tartness and spiciness is quite heavy and dark malts make them feel even more pungent and out of place.

Bottle. Hazy dark amber color with a medium thin head. Aroma of wheat, ripe banana and yeast. Very sweet taste, medium bitter dry finish. Sticky feel.

Mild nose banana. Beige thin head. Dark brownish color. Sourish mild hopped banana taste. Some berries too. At the end some hops. Too sour.

Dark brown beer with a brief head. Foam leaves instantly. Aroma of burned banana and sahti like yeast. Medium body. Ughhh... some really bad off notes when drunk cold... I should wait a minute... Watery, lots of cooked vegetables with some (very watery) syrup on them. I was expecting a lot more from this based on the nose... The taste really ruins it all. Wow, what a disappointment!

Bottle 33 cl. Pours brown in color with a small tan head. Ripe banana, some sour wheat notes and rubber in aroma. Flavor has same sour wheat and light burnt grains in it. Sour and burnt grains in finish.

33 cl bottle from Alko. Nice brown colour. Taste has yeasts and malts. Quite OK dark weizen bock. It went well with gingerbread.

330ml bottle (Alko Arkadia, Helsinki)
Pleasant wheat bock aroma, nothing exceptional, but pretty nice. FIrst thing in the mouth is just a little bit of wheaty sourness, nothing out of the ordinary for the style though. Quite a light palate, crisp carbonation. Sweet bananaey and wheaty retronasals - classic weizenbock. Grain-oriented in the mouth. Easy to drink, sweet, but not sticky or sugary. Quite a pleasant hoppy bitter bite in the finish. Just a little dirty and yeasty, but still pleasant. Good one, surprising brew from Teerenpeli, this is a bit outside their usual safe bounds.

Bottle 33cl. Brown shitty colour with a minimal head. Banana aroma with sence of malt, citrus and spices. Light bitter, sweet taste with a strange malty/yeasty end.

33cl bottle, bbe 15.09.13. Dark brown in color with a beige head. Sweet banana, glueish notes and light sourness in aroma. Flavor similar, less glue, more sourness. Medium body, long sweetish finish. Drinkable, but quite weird. Tasted almost better warm than cold...
