Commercial Description:
A light-coloured, spicy single-bock wheat beer, for both beer lovers and the beer connoisseur. Extra long and cold storage in our monastery cellars makes this single-bock a really special beer with full body and a distinctively great mouthfeel. Prost!

Draught at The Rover, Gothenburg. Hazy orange with a small, white head. Spicy and fresh in both aroma and flavour; bananas and citrus. Mild with a pretty low bitterness.

Draught. Pours cloudy golden, with good head and lacing. Punchy on the nose, of citrus, yeast and bananas! Similar on the palate, with well masked alcohol content. Very decent beer.

Bomber. Bright gold, hazy, unfiltered. Big fluffy white head. Nose is malty, lemony. Taste comes off both bitter and sweet. A bit alcoholic, smooth, spicy. Nice beer.

(500ml bottle from Spec’s on October 11, 2008) You’d think this was a dunkel from the looks of the bottle. Pours a gorgeous orange with a solid, white frothy head and lacing that slides down the glass. Its aroma is of a serious German Weizenbock. Very sour, citric, and yeasty. Smells like a brewery. Smells like fermented wheat! Its taste is of banana, cloves, and a hint of hops. Smooth going down, almost makes you want to pucker. A finely crafted beer.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 500ml. or 1 pint .9oz bottle into a weizen glass. Appearance: It had a golden color, which was lighter than I had expected and a hazy unfiltered body. The head is just off white in color and builds up tall and thick then very slowly fades making slick patchy lacing on the glass. Smell: The aroma had sweet malty wheat notes with yeast and estery fruitiness. Taste/Mouth feel: There are estery flavor notes of banana, apple, golden raison and bubble gum within a mildly sweet and tangy wheat malt. Also there are hints of clove and some mild spicy hops for balance. It has a solid medium body with a palate that is smooth and a touch slick with pleasing carbonation. Notes: Outstanding!!!

Bottle from South Bay Drugs. Pours a hazy golden yellow with an orange hue. The head is a couple fingers of creamy white that takes its time to fade and laces spots. Smells spicy, banana, pepper, coriander and clove. Taste begins with sweet malt followed by the wheat and spice.
