Apr 14, 2008 On tap at Zeno’s Pub - State College, PA. Light fruit aroma. Mixed berry and passionfruit? A nip of bubblegum blows in. Pours a heavily clouded nectarine flesh. Soapy, lacing white bubbles above. Flavor bubbles some more light, indistinct fruit character. Subdued apple, rainier cherry and pecan pie syrup. Alcohol comes forth with bread-like yeast notes. Rather plain. Sugars are clean, too clean. Malt body really isn’t interesting enough. Pale tasting. A touch sweet and sticky. Alcohols are mildly complex (in apple), but maybe a bit too forward for 7.7% and this much sugar. Hops? Meh.

Apr 11, 2008 Bottle. Aromas of banana and wheat. Hazy golden color with a multi-finger head. Seems medium bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is banana, wheat and a touch of clove. Very pleasant; fits the hefe style. The extra bock ABV does not really interfere, though the heat becomes noticeable in the finish.

Apr 10, 2008 Bottled. Cloudy, straw colored. Huge, frothy white head as is typical for this style. Sweet aroma with prominent esters. Classic banana-like taste from said esters, mildly spicy with clove-like phenols. Über-classic example for a hefe-weizen (I don’t get a lot of bock from it as it is rather pale) A few notches below the best example of this style, i.e. Schneider Aventinus. Rather pleasant.

Apr 9, 2008 Updated: Aug 28, 2008Coloração âmbar turva, com creme bege mediano. Boa Weizenbock! O teor alcoólico de 7,7% caiu muito bem no conjunto, deixando-a bem atrativa. Sugestão de cravo, fermento, banana e algo mais que não discerni. Agradável, drinkable, ótimo conjunto.

Apr 7, 2008 Cloudy pale yellow pour with frothy white head. Spicy yeasty aroma with cloves and banana. Gorgeous bready taste with caramel, ripe fruit, and cloves. Very smooth, creamy mouthfeel; another excellent wheat beer from this brewer.

Apr 7, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a hazy light amber color with a good amount of off-white head. Aroma of spice, yeast and clove. Taste included dark wheat malts, caramel, bread, and light banana. Highly drinkable, with average mouthfeel and carbonation. Slightly oily consistency. This was a tasty beer, but I was surprised to find that it was basically a really good hefe.
