Frothy off white head soon left a cover on a cloudy, highly effervescent dark golden body.. Fruity aroma with peach, banana & citrus. Medium bodied, well carbonated & clean on the back. Banana, peach, tropical fruits, mango & nectarine tastes.

Thuis uit een halve liter. Mooie troebele gouden kleur en perfect en veel wit schuim. Een heerlijke volle lichtzoete smaak. Het is een Weizenbock, maar het abv is wel hoger dan een "gewone" weizen, toch vind ik dit meer een weizen dan een bock. Ik vraag mij af of ze bij deze brouwerij ook geen smakelijke bieren maken...Ben ze nog niet tegenkomen!

Draught at BKL 2018.
Orange, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, slightly yellow head.
Aroma of banana, vanilla, wheat, dried fruits, moderate spices, some grains, some bread.
Tastes similar, with the spices a bit more prominent.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium spicy, medium sweet, a bit dry, wheaty, bready, with some banana, slight dried fruits.
Lovely, classic example of the style, greatly balanced and quaffable. The taste lacks the last bit though for me, that I can't appoint. Overall not my favourite Weizenbock, but worth its reputation.

Bottle, 0.5l. Hazy orange pour, two finger frothy head, slightly off-white. Long lasting, excellent retention. Nice thick lacing as it goes down. Yeast, wheat and lime on the nose. Clean and refreshing. Thin to medium body. Medium but somewhat prickly carbonation. Light texture, easily drinkable. Taste combines the fruity tart with slight hop bitterness. Nicely balanced. Aroma of wheat and grains, grassy notes, lime and herbs. Slight caramel in the background. Spicy, dusty mouthfeel. Hops in the background, a bit dry. Well hidden alcohol. Overall, tasty and refreshing. Clean and crisp, somewhat simple but well executed brew. Good one.

Bottle from Brewhouse & Kitchen, Bedford. Light yellow, cloudy with a thick white head. Normal Hefe banana aroma mixes with a heady yeasty candy sugar note. Sweet, almost fruity taste with clove, gooseberry and honey in the aftertaste. Body quite thin, buoyed up by modest carbonation. A good 'un.

0,5 l bottle. Pours hazy yellow with big lasting frothy white head. Intensive banana aroma when poured fades with head, wheat, yeast, sourness from head, apricot, a bit of tart and wheat. Flavor is similar, but with plenty of clove. Taste is medium sweet, light bitter and light sour. Body is quite full, texture is rich and creamy despite quite lively carbonation. Finish is long, clove, apricot, tarty and nicely finished off with mild and gentle spicy bitterness.
