Can from Cork & Cask. Pours clear gold with white foam. Aroma: banana esters, light caramel, straw, some spices. Taste: moderate to heavy sweet, banana bread, toffee, nutmeg. Medium body with light spritzy carbonation. Really rather sweet, nice flavours though.

Can from Appellation Wines. Pours hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aromas of banana, caramel and light spice. Taste has a toffee note, honey almost, but a cleansing spice note and some herbal bitterness. Light sweet finish.

Can from Caledonian Craft Beer Merchant. Clear deep golden body with a thin off-white head. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of banana, straw and white pepper. Flavour of banana bread and brown sugar. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. It’s a touch too sweet for me, but I do love Cromarty’s beers (another of their wheat based ones - Jungle Hijinx - is world class). More Weizenbocks please!

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep golden with a light haze. Foamy, white head. Nose - expected banana and nutmeg. Light caramel or toffee lurking. Taste - creamy banana, toffee and maple syrup. Palate - medium bodied, sweet middle and finish. Overall - good example of the style.

Keg at Casc, Aberdeen. It pours clear blonde with a sturdy, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, soft, sweet banana, foamy banana candy, flumps, warming spice, clove rock, toasty grain and nougat. The taste is initially a touch dry and some a sharp citrus zing, powdered sugar, candy, clove rock, pineapple chunks, plenty of sweet banana, banana split with squirty cream, a touch of green veg/celery and warming booze with a drying finale. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. A bit lighter and more chuggable than expected. Errs on being a bit sweet though.

Keg at shilling. Pours hazy golden, nose is banana, clove, cream, taste is sweet, creamy, juicy fruit, banana, spices in the finish.
