bottle from Landbierdealer. Clear pale yellow, large white head. Lovely hoppy nose. Light-bodied, elegant malty base with lots of romatic hops - like digging into a heap of fresh hops. Not too bitter, yet very aromatic, with a slightly resiny touch. A very well crafted exaple of the style.

bottle from Landbierdealer. Clear golden colour with an amber glow, large fluffy head. I can’t detect any smoke in the aroma, perhaps some wood and ash. Malty background, very shy (but pleasant, neverthelesse) smoky flavours present. Slightly hoppy. A mild beer with a shy smoke background. Rather high carbonation.

Bottle: Deep golden to light amber coloured, cloudy, slowly collapsing off-white head; moderate to solid sweetish/honeyish nose,presenting bananas and lemons, wheat and cloves underneath; moderate to solid sweet-sourish flvour; vanilla and bananas - again - in the sweetish finish, followed by a very light tartness in the aftertaste. Decent, but not too complex Weizenbock....

Bottle: Golden, small lacy white head, clear; sweet-grainy nose with molecular traces of smoke; light to moderate sweet-bitter flavour, soft, almost medium bodied; slightly lingering grainy-bitter finish with - again - very well hidden traces of smoke and also a discreet citrussy fruitiness. A beer for non-smokers.....

(bottle) Clear, amber to copper colour with a big but non persistent light-beige foamy head. Slightly sweet toast-malty aroma with notes of caramel and chocolate. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a pleasant carbonation. Solid toasty malt-character with caramel, a whiff of cacao and herbal accents; almost dry moderately toasty and hop bitter finish. Good one. 30.XI.10

(bottle, No. 5638) Cloudy, orange colour with a blond and huge foamy head. Yeasty, moderately phenolic spicy and wheat-malty aroma with bubblegum and a moderately fruity touch of apricots and lemon. Sweet flavour, medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Present wheat-character with a slightly Belgian impression of yeasty-spicy and minimally vinous fruity notes of apricots and lemon; moderately sweet fruity and wheaty finish with mildly spicy notes and a tinge of sourness. A Weizenbock that has its moments but is finally not overly demanding. 24.XI.10

(bottle) Cloudy, orange-golden colour with a big and dense foamy white head. Yeasty and moderately wheaty aroma with distinctive notes of banana. Sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Pronounced banana-fruity taste on a mildly wheat-malty base; moderately sweet and fruity finish with a slightly fizzy and sharp mouthfeel. 24.XI.10

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a big and firm, slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet malty and slightly buttery nose with very faint traces of smoke malt. Moderately sweet and bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a soft carbonation. Malt-accented taste with bready notes, cara-malt and a micro whiff of smoked malt towards the harsh bitter and slightly alcoholic finish. Rather disappointing. 21.XI.10

(bottle) Clear, pale deep golden to amber colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Moderately sweet and strawy malty aroma with shy hints of caramel and herbal hops. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Mildly (cara-)malty base with discreetly bready notes and herbal accents; dry-ish and mildly bitter hoppy finish. Nice but not overly exciting. 20.XI.10

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond and bubbling foamy head. Fresh and simple pale malty nose with citric and slightly hay-like herbal hops. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light bodied with a spritzy carbonation. Initially sweet malty taste with rising fruity and herbal hops character towards the moderately bitter finish with grainy notes. A bit slim but still a decent Helles Lager. 20.XI.10
