From a bommer. Clean and fairly sterile aroma, but hey; I just smoke a big see gar. First taste is sizzly fun, you can tell this is fairly low alky. Not much than 5% but it sure does hide the alky well. Clear lager looking thing. Quie friendly and easy going. Not sure if its because I worked so hard all day, but this stuff is scuttle but good. Yes, good sizzly fresh fun. Goes down pretty easy, not bad. Like-ability! Smooth even finsh. A good example of what a golden blonde ale or lager should be like. Forgettabout that big hoppy or impy stout thing. Sessionable.

22oz bomber pours clear gold with thin off white head. The mild aroma offers up bits of sweet malts and faint grainy malts. The taste begins with rings of modest sort of citrus lemon like tartness and then moves timidly into an understated maltiness and slight malt graininess. The biggest note amongst these modest to mild flavors is the somewhat citrus acidic tart lemon to maybe lime note with some citrus hop bitterness picking up just a tad midway and into the finish.

Char and walnut nose. Opaque brown, headless. Powerfully sour, black currants and walnuts. Musty oak finish.Alcohol not noticeable. I don’t see how this could be a dunkelweizen. I would guess it is one of those sour style porters.

Deep hazy golden coloured body with a honey glow and a thin off-white head. Aroma of yeast, honey, flowers and a touch of sweetness - very strong. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong yeastie flavour with some wheat, coriander seed, curacao and a thick malty flavour all noticeable with some apricots and apples dancing on the finish and a little complexity at the tail end. Overall, a nice tripel with a lot of sweetness, some pungent flavours and good complexity. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia camping at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

Pours clear dark brown with a fleeting off-white head. Very little aroma. Slightly roasted malts. The flavor is slightly bitter, very little sweetness or complexity. A touch of sourness in the finish. Ok, but I’m not too impressed.

The pour gushed out of the glass telling me that this was highly carbonated. Hazy gold with a sticky off-white head. Citrusy hop aroma with a subtle mintyness. Lightly bitter flavor. Somewhat one-dimensional. A bit thin.

Hazy brown and muddy coloured body with a great, thick tan head - very nice looking! Aroma of bread, yeast, coriander seed, malt, cinnamon and a touch of alcohol - oh yeah, a lot of brown sugar too. Medium-bodied; Strong squash and pumpkin flavour with some malt and yeast showing soon behind with a lot of alcohol, sweetness and sugars touching on the back-end. Aftertaste is a bit complex, but showing largely wheat, yeast and sugars. Overall, a fairly good weizen bock, on the lighter side of the style, but I like that, especially in the large format bottle. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 09-November-2011 for US$3.99 sampled at home in Washington after returning from holiday on 02-January-2012.
