0.33 l bottle from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', bottled in May 2025. A bit hazy, golden amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish-malty, quite yeasty-spicy aroma of banana, clove, honey and vanilla. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, rather yeasty-spicy taste of banana, clove, honey and vanilla, followed by a medium long, rather yeasty-spicy, moderately bitter and a little boozy finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Decent Weizenbock with quite some bite.
