Bottle at Hopa. Deep golden, white head. Nose is big banana, fruity-flowery yeasty touch, malty kick. So is the taste with a long, sweet finish. Perhaps a tad too light body, but nice nevertheless.

Farblich geht das gerade noch so als heller Weizenbock durch. Schön cremiger Schaum. Karamell und Marzipan in der Nase. Geschmacklich haben wir vergorene und frische Früchte, Malz und auch der Alkohol spielt eine wichtige Rolle. Karamell und Marzipan sind noch in Nuancen vorhanden. Sehr schön weich.

Notes from January 2011 $5.49 from Whole Foods. Saw lots of quasi-fresh Germans brews stocked & figured I should buy some or risk buying the exact same bottle a few months from now, ala New Beer. Weiss glass. Murky honey gold color. Off white head, frozen solid. A good shake, anything less then a 75 degree tip won't make it move. Smells of bitter greens, dense/crusty loaf, pungent anise, rind, & bubblegum. Big banana & thick, starchy wheat. Heavy clove & brown sugar. Touch tannic. Bit of bubblegum & Honey Nut Cheerios. Lingering anise/yeast on the finish. Orange rind in there somewhere. Boozy. Flavorful, but heavy-handed. Decently carbed, but still a heavy, heavy beer. Alcohol hides behind all that residual sugar. I feel every percentage point of that ABV. Warming. Drinking a 500ml & still wanting a touch more, I feel is deserving, if not respectful. My stamina took a hit though. Price is okay if I figure I can get this for $4.50 from New Beer. Deserves more attention.
