500ml bottle. Cloudy, copper-ish amber colour with average, thick, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white to beige head. Wheaty, fruity and spicy aroma, notes of banana and clove, hints of baked banana, a touch of cinnamon, hoppy overtones with a touch of pear and basil. Taste is peppery spicy, obviously of yeast and hop origin, hints of pepper, clove, grass, mint, basil, widely disguised, slightly bready malty background, subtle sweetness, no survival of fruity flavours (not even banana!). Taken Schneider Hopfenweisse as benchmark, the conclusion to be drawn anew says the following: First rule is: brew a solid Weizenbock - then, not till then, hop it up. In this case the hops again more slay than upgrade the "core business".
