Smells like yeast and lemons - tastes like bananas and band-aids - not much else to say.

Amber color. Some malt and cereals aroma. Medium mouthfeel, little residual sweetness along with malt and cereals, ordinary bitterness. Boring for me.

I have had this beer a couple of times over the years. I am not much of a bock fan but have found this one to be rather enjoyable. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a mahogany color with a huge tan head that lingers. The aroma is sweet dark malts and molasses. The flavor is sour malts, molasses and brown sugar with a moderate floral hop presence on the finish. A nice beer but not a must have.

From the bottle, 10/8/2005. Effervescent (large bubbles) with a rusty-copper-tangerine colored body and a bubbly, poorly retained white head. Maybe passable for a pale lager, but certainly not for a supposed German Hefe. Aroma of wet leaves, light metal (brass, copper) and some dry, bland, stale biscuity malts. Weak esters struggle to keep from drowning in all of the water and bland graininess. Flavors of light chalk/crayons, grainy, ricey-like malt flavor with a poor mouthfeel (large, lazy bubbles) and a tremendously weak body. Seems like a crappy pale lager fermented at really high temperatures. Ack. My girlfriend couldnt even drink this and she has far higher a tolerance for garbage beer than I do.

I am a huge fan of the hefeweizen from this company but the other beers they have I have tended to take a strong disliking to. This beer would be an exception. Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a bronze color with a small tan head. The aroma was sour malt, a hint of ripe fruit and a light hop undertone. The flavor was caramel, nut and light hops. A sour nut note lingered on the finish. A rather nice beer from this brewer and one I would try again.

Penn is a brewery that I have large swings with. I love their weizen and St. Nick but the rest of their beer tend to underwhelm.+++ I put this one in the latter category. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium yellow color with a very small white head. There was a sour grainy aroma. The flavor was sour malt with a tangy finish. Ugh.

Bottled, thanks marbles! Cloudy pale orange. Estery, orangey nose. Sweet and soft with notes of peach and fraspberry, Mild and true to style, but with it’s own twist. Good stuff.

Cloudy deep yellow with a smaller than average head for a weizen. Musty clove aroma some yeast. Flavor is spicy and tangy with a bitter finish. A little bit chalky.

Very cloudy yellow. Slightly wheaty aroma. Flavour is wheaty, a little bit tart, with moderate sweetness and light yeastiness. Not particularly distinctive, but not a bad beer.
