Bottle at home. Lighter orange amber pour not the prettiest. Nos eus banana and cloves. Tastes much the same also caramel, red fruit, brown sugar. Lighter bodied not too sweet. Dedicated to my long time drinking buddy Noodles who’s been sitting next to me on couch for last 15yrs, R.I.P. old friend.

Bottle 66 cl. Lightly hazy, dark golden with an off-white head. Distinct banana and clove notes from the Hefe yeast. Quite a full body, sweet fruit and malt notes with some overripe fruit and again distinct notes of spice and Hefe yeast. Almost complete absence of bitterness. 241217

Thank you! Bottle sampled @ The Rad Roadburn Bottleshare at De Bierbrigandier. Hazy orange. Nose is overly big DE yeast, fish guts & soap. Taste is yeast, spoiled banana, fish guts, spoiled yeast,… Too many of these DE things which are not my thing.

0.33 l bottle from local 'trinkgut', best before October 2018. Murky, brownish amber with a medium large, frothy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly yeasty-spicy, moderately fruity and almost a little medicinal aroma of banana, cloves, pear and honeydew. Quite sweet, malty, moderately yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity taste of banana, pear, honeydew and clove, followed by a short, moderately bitter, rather yeasty-spicy and a little tart finish with traces of alcohol. Medium to full body, smooth, creamy and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Pleasant, relatively fruity Weizenbock, just a bit unround.
