Bottle sample at a tasting at Dagan’s. Thanks Oren. Cloudy golden-green colour, sweetish aroma, with banana and a little pear. Sweet nectar taste with hints of pear and bitterness. Nice. Medium body, light carbonation, long, cider-like finish.

Corked and caged bottle, dated 2009. Pours clear, golden orange, with little head to speak of. Some tight white bubbles, but not much else. Nose comes across like a ramped-up hefe weizen: yeasty, earthy notes, with sweet, sugared malts and a bit of astringent hops. Taste is mellower, with a slight hop bite, apricot, and vanilla. Hint of pepper. Clean finish, not much on the back of the tongue. Interesting, unique.

Trocken muffiger und hellmalziger Beginn. Erstaunlich laff, ab dem Mittelteil tritt eine deutliche Säurenote bei. Holzig-muffig, oxidiert. Schlecht. 9/5/7/5/13/5

Bottle to glass. Aroma is interesting. I’m picking up lots of banana and ueasty goodness, but almost no clove. Very unique. Amber pour with white head. Light caramel and a little spicy. Interesting. Im still not sure how I feel about this. It’s not common. That’s for sure. It is nice and drinkable though.

Bottle. 2011 vintage so a fresh one. Pours a nice copper color with a very slight white head that collars around the glass, looks like a fairly low carb beer. Biscuit, caramel, clove, and almost a slight banana aroma similiar to a belgian white. Medium mouthfeel. Hmmm, light caramel, banana, and spice. Minimal oak notes for me. Ever so slight bitterness in the end. MInimal alcohol notes. An interesting take on a Barley Wine.

Tap at the brewery served in a snifter. Dark golden amber pour. Huge banana nose which was totally unexpected. Stonefruit, banana, and clove flavors up front. First sip has wet hair flavors that I hate in some wheat beers but the astringency is greatly reduced with future sips. Big, wine like beer. Not sure what it is, but something is missing. It’s good, nonetheless.

375 ml bottle, 2011 vintage, from Binny’s Lakeview. Pours a deep amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is banana, clove, a little yeasty, a little boozy. A bit heavy on the palate with soft carbonation. Flavor is sweet, yeasty, banana with a warming, boozy finish.
