(500 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/massachusetts/westborough/julio’s-liquors/461.htm target=blank>Julio’s Liquors) Pours cloudy pale yellow with some grayish tint. Tall off-white head. Actually looks more like a hefeweizen than a weizen bock. Aroma of banana, bubblegum and citrus. Mouthfeel smooth and medium-full. Flavor is good with quite a bit going on - notes of booze, citrus, wheat, caramel, banana and pepper. The booziness assured me it was not just a regular hefe! Not the richest weizen bock but still quite good.

Sep 2, 2008 Fresh beer. Hides the high amount of alcohol (for a Weizen) perfectly. Citrus/herb taste, really special. Very light colour. Had a 0.5l bottle in Rapallo, Italy at a nice grand café.

Aug 28, 2008 Pours a hazy saffron color into my Franziskaner weizen glass. Big 3 finger head is pure white, not much lacing. Good retention.
Aroma is lemon meringue, banana oil, flowers, clove, and a hint of copper.
Tastes like an imperialized version of a hefeweizen. Not a lot of dark, chewy, bready malt flavor at all. This beer is focused around banana, lemon, and clove. Also a touch of vanilla. Not bad, but certainly lacking the complexity a darker weizenbock (like Aventinus) would likely provide.
Highly carbonated, but not overly so. Medium body with a sticky banana pith finish. Classic Weihenstephaner drinkability.
carruthm (391), Seattle, Washington, USA
Aug 27, 2008 pale slightly cloudy yellow with a well sized head the fizzes down to a constant one-finger size leaving little to no lace
wheaty aroma with light banana spices and a astringent floral current.
heavy on the banana spices with a trace of hops as well.
really smooth palate.

Aug 25, 2008 Bright cloudy yellow with tropical fruit aroma and a thick frothy head. Slightly tart and a little spritzy on the palate. I was expecting more from this beer than what was delivered.
