This amber brew smells of toasted caramel malt. It has a pretty assertive flavor the style with the caramel joined by a good hops bite. It's still easy drinking and overall is an enjoyable brew.

Pours hazy orange and has a yeasty, spicy, banana-rich aroma. The flavor is of bananas, spicy yeast, malt, and somewhat more hops bitterness than expected in a weizenbock. It's quite good though.

Pours mostly clear copper with an off-white head and some lacing. The aroma is dominated by citrusy hops, leading into a solidly bitter beer with tropical fruit notes and a good malt balance. Hops lingers pleasantly on the finish.

Amber-orange pour with a caramelly, bready malt and hops aroma. The flavor is of caramel malt and moderately bitter hops. It's medium bodied and quite bubbly on the palate. Overall it's okay.

Pours very dark brown with a light tan head. It has a mild aroma of roast malt and hops. The flavor has aggressive hops bitterness backed by some roasted malt. It worked alright but I thought the roasted character could have been stronger.

Yellow-orange pour with a one finger lingering off-white head. It has a hoppy, resinous aroma. The flavor has strong hops bitterness with lots of resin. There's a little fruity character in there but to me this one is all about the resinous hops. Pretty tasty.

Pours very hazy red-orange with a small, lingering off-white head. It smells of caramel malt and fruity hops. The flavor is of toasted caramel malt and tropical fruit accented hops. It's moderately bitter, medium bodied, and the hops are pleasantly crisp. Bitterness lingers on the finish along with some caramel. Very good.

tap - Pours cloudy yellow with a one finger head. It has a mild, spicy yeast aroma. The flavor is sweet with wheat, bananas, and spice. Decent brew. Refreshing.
