Hazy deep amber color, with a medium head, smaller than usual weizen/weizenbock. Smell is wheat, apricot, very little banana. Taste is caramel malts, some fruitiness like dry plums, some spice, and alcohol, too much alcohol taste. Light mouthfeel, I expected a longer taste. Medium carbonation. Good, but not outstanding.

0,66 flaske 8% ombord på Fridtjofen, i godt rbhd-lag. Vi nikker fornøyd og konstaterer at dette er en god og stilriktig weizenbock med pregnant aroma og smak av nellik og banan. Flott karbonering gir en super munnfølelse. Et nydelig øl.
