Sample at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a ruby halo and a medium and creamy beige head that bubbles away steadily. Thin sheet of lacing on the glass. Light toasted malt and chocolate aroma. Medium, creamy body with flavors of dark chocolate and malt, as well as touches of coffee and hops. The finish is kind of thin and roasty with a light coffee aftertaste. Above average overall, but seems like it should be better.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is an opaque and pretty burgundy color with a medium thin and creamy light tan head that recedes steadily. Thin sheet of lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops and citrus, as well as a touch of malt. Medium-bodied and hoppy with notes of pine and grapefruit, underscored by an earthy malt flavor. The finish is hoppy and leaves a pine aftertaste. Solid all around.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours a dark brown color with a minimal beige head that disappears fairly fast. Nil lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruits and earthy malt, with a touch of coffee. Medium-bodied with a fruity character of bananas and plum, and flavors of yeast, malt and spices. The finish is clean and fruity with a lingering spiced aftertaste. One of the better Weizen Bocks I have tried lately.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a clear bright orange color with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of heady hops and pine. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with flavors of citrusy hops and pine, along with a decent amount of toasted malt. The finish is equally hoppy and malty and the bitterness lingers awhile. Enjoyable all around.

Draft at the Carlsbad location and they had a new beer for me to add! (they said it was an American strong pale ale and 6.6% ABV) Orange pour with a medium off-white, glass-lacing head; Nose of piney and citrusy hops; flavor of medium hop bitterness with a lot of pineyness fading into a lightly bitter finish. Pretty good stuff!
