5.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Estery and metallic yeasty aroma. Cloudy golden orange, quite heavily carbonated, big stable rocky head. Yesty/estery and clove flavors dominate, banana and vanilla in the background. Medium to light body and a somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. Not really a bad beer, but they try to brew a beer everybody on the whole world will like - and the lowest common denominator tastes just like that.

Similar to the Kristall Weissbier, but bigger and more assertive. Quite a good example of the style, as the other tasters have clearly indicated.

Not bad- fortunately only the slightest hint at skunking (I pulled the bottle from the back of the shelf). Very well balanced and slightly creamy. Light bodied and a good match for most foods.

Not as interesting as the pale ones, but smoothly drinkable.................

Sparkling, golden hue, a spicy, peppery, malty aroma and a palate where soft banana and malt notes come together nicely with a smooth dry finish.

I'm not huge on this beer. It's all right, but it lacks the stylishness that makes doppelbocks like Celebrator or Andechs so amazing.

How convenient that I sampled this as it becomes the featured beer of the week. But of course, its Oktoberfest time. This beer practically defines the style for me. Rich malty taste: caramel toffee flavors. Medium bodied. Beautiful bright amber color.

Quite rich and pungent malt aroma, and nicely full-bodied sweet malt flavor. Strong but not overwhelming. Very good - one of the top doppelbocks (but see Celebrator). It's main appeal is a strongly clean and light, perhaps highly attenuated palate. Has real appeal as a malt-monster. Darkish amber, small head.

Dark amber color, appopriately cloudy. Sweet caramel-esque aroma. Very dry, but becomes sweeter and fruitier as you finish it.

Cloudy golden yellow, thick firm head, all appropriate for style. Mild, clean taste, smooth and refreshing with alot of carbonation. Not much flavor however, and not very complex. I detected a hint of a metallic taste.
