This weizenbock has a dark orange color and very little head that quickly fades away, yet retains prickly carbonation on the palate. Lots of banana in the aroma and the flavor. Cinnamon is there, but less so than the fruit. some flavor of alcohol as well, and combined with the cinnamon, I appreciate where the origin of the Bananas Foster name. Banana stays around in the aftertaste. Great flavors common to a wheat beer, and this is one of the best beers Schells has made in a long time.

Bottle. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma combines sweet grains and straw with some bread and a bit of grass underlying. Flavor is similar with sweet grains and straw with some bread backing.

Thanks Khalil for sharing the bottle! Poured into a snifter showing lightly filtered blackberry hues and sparse white foam lacing. The nose shows grainy corn. (something’s off here) The palate is light bodied and lightly carbonated. Moderately tart with flavors of blueberry throughout.

This is an outstanding helles. Aroma and flavor are both dominated by clean, mild malts. Well balanced, clean and very easy drinking.

Bottle from a sampler. Gold color and a head that fades quickly. General lager aroma with malt. Flavor is sweet, some logjt hops here, noble hops maybe, giving a dry charater. Solod and very frinkable for a boring style.

Clear yellow and golden coloured body with a nice, one to two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of funky pale malt, a touch of hops, some cream and light cardboard and some very light alcohol notes as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong creamy and pungent malt flavours at first with a big dose of cardboard and funky, stale hops with a bit of alcohol and caster sugar sweetness near the end. Aftertaste is fairly straight forward with a bit more of the same flavours and perhaps some extra creamy, pungent flavours. Overall, a decent beer, and one that perhaps is worth trying, especially for the style. Neat to sample, and worth picking up if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Cash Wise Liqours in Minot, North Dakota on 06-October-2016 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 28-April-2017.
