330ml bottle. Opalescent, orange, dark golden to amber colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, minimally bready, wheaty malty and yeasty fruity, minimally yeasty spicy aroma, notes of banana, banana bread, a touch of clove and mustard seed, some honey. Taste is sweet-ish, wheaty malty, slightly yeasty fruity and minimally yeasty spicy, slightly fruity hoppy, notes of banana, a touch of clove, mustard seed, orange, tart-ish orange, some honey.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
Kind of Kristallweizen-Bock, a bit restrained - OK.

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.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Ripe fruit aroma with sugary banana, malt, stewed fruit, yeast, plum. Moderate to medium sweet with low bitterness. Medium body. Quite nice.
