Grass and floral notes. Pours a nice hazy gold with conglomerate head. Sweet, light bodied and creamy. Very bitter (slightly tinny) long-lastig finish. The malt and hop flavors are dedicated to separate stages.

Poured from 12 oz bottle into footed pilsner. Head quickly dissipates to approx 1/4 inch and stays. Crisp malty aroma. Quick hop flavor turns to malt and back to hops where it lingers for quite a while. Lively carbonation. Bitter hop flavor is quite intense and astringent. Very refreshing.

Cloudy gold with a thick white head like a quality wheat beer. The aroma has flowers and hops. Some complexity in the flavor. There are herbal and fruity hops. Considerable earthiness with sweet malt underneath. I couldn’t drink a lot of this, but I am enjoying a light hop burn right now.

Bottle. Dark copper beer with a big cream colored head. Rich malty/yeasty aroma with some spice and earthiness. Rich malty flavor with some plum and figs. Candy sugar and alcohol warmth. High carbonation. Nice comlexity and depth. Finishes dry and would like the flavors to linger a bit longer.

Hazy yellow with moderate white head. Aroma of fresh straw, grass and a bit of perfume. Flavor starts with malt but yields to hops — grains with slight lemon and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Nicely carbonated. Overall, a well balanced, excellent pilsener with big flavor.

Murky golden appearance with suspended yeast particles. Short, white head. Moderate aroma of spice — clove and coriander — with a background nose of malts. Strong flavor of spices and pepper — again clove and coriander. Slight note of banana and a sweet undertaste. The finish is long. Creamy and slightly syrupy texture. Long finish. Very nice.

Fully hazy orange-amber, very carbonated; orange-yellow head, fast reduced to 1/2 cm. Orange peel and alcohol nose, mandarines. Caramel, caramelised fruit (oranges, plums), lots of alcohol, a few earthy notes, toffee and, again mandarine flavour. Slick & alcoholwarming, give it one hell of a smooth feeling. Not fizzy as expected, just a little burning and sourish lining. Yeast filling. Nice - very unlike any Weizenbock tried so far. Thanks to BrianB!
