Austrian Weizenbock, tasted as Rieder Feinster Weissbier Bock; stumbled upon this by coincidence in some Dutch pub deep in the Dordogne region in France. Very thick and frothy, snow white, stable and frothy head, hazy straw blonde robe with pale peachy tinge. Aroma of strong banana milkshake, dough, apple cake, relatively outspoken ‘smoky’ phenols (almost like burning spices or even incense), pineapple, freshly cut pear, cloves, meringue. Sweetish onset – though, expectedly, less sweet than the nose suggests – with a truckload of Belgo-German banana ester next to notes of pear and raw pineapple, fizzy carbonation but still fluffy, bit soapy mouthfeel thanks to the wheat malt. Soft malt sweetish middle, evidently very wheaty, with an elegantly phenolic finish, spicy and a tad smoky, softly bittered by a dash of earthy, slightly grassy hops. Banana and wheaty sweetbread, however, keep prevailing in the end. Correct, classically conceived and very easily drinkable Weizenbock, can easily stand next to the classic Germans in this style.

09-05-18 // 330ml bottle shared. Unfiltered dark golden. Snall white head. Mild floral hop nose. Aroma is sweet malty with light caramel and a herbal hop bitterness. --- Beer merged from original tick of Rieder India Pale Ale (IPA, 6.0%, bottle & tap) on 09 May 2018 at 22:27 - Score: 6. Original review text: Unfiltered dark golden. Snall white head. Mild floral hop nose. Aroma is sweet malty with light caramel and a herbal hop bitterness.

Raisins, caramel, grains, lightly sour coffee, butterscotch. Very tasty.

Not as bitter as many other IPAs. It’s more like a modest interpretation of the style that, itself, is great to drink.

Bottle from Merkur. Austrian brewery no.34 Quite bitter ale, actually surprisingly bitter, mixed with fruity sweetness and some caramel. It's okay.

Dunkelbraune Farbe mit kleiner, beiger Schaumkrone. Malziger Geruch mit Kürbiskernen und Nüssen. Geschmacklich malzig, brotig, nussig mit erkennbaren Kürbiskernen und etwas Karamell. Mittlere Süße mit leichter Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure. Alles in allem ziemlich rund ohne Ecken und Kanten.

Eingetrübt bersteinfarben mit kleiner, weißer Schaumkrone. Vordergründig malziger Geruch mit fruchtigen Anklängen und etwas zurückhaltender agierendem Hopfen. Geschmacklich ein ähnliches Bild, zu erkennen sind Citrus und Pfirsich mit einem wieder hinter süßen Malzaromen zurücksteckenden Hopfen. Leichte Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper, spürbare Kohlensäure. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
