22 ounce bottle into weizen glass, bottled on 6/5/2015. Pours hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big lemon zest, orange peel, peach, pineapple, banana, bubblegum, clove, wheat, bread, light honey, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great complexity and balance of bright citrus/tropical hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon zest, orange peel, peach, pineapple, banana, bubblegum, clove, wheat, bread, light honey, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light amount of earthy bitterness/yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon/orange peel, peach, pineapple, banana, bubblegum, clove, wheat, bread, light honey, floral, grass, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, moderate citrus/tropical hops, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and lightly crisp mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding hefeweizen. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and bready malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink for the ABV. The aromas were much stronger the citrus/tropical hops as expected with dry hopping. A lot of it did carry over into the flavor as well, but it was much more balanced with the standard hefeweizen flavor profile. A highly enjoyable offering all around.

Black, tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, liquorice, vanilla and chocolate. Bitter flavour, roasted malts, coffee, light caramel, hops. Full, thick body. Bitter finish, liquorice root, light sour note. Bit sweet, quite boozy.
(from 75cL bottle @ Let’s drink all of Rich’s American beers Tasting. Thanks for sharing, omgrich!)

65 cl bottle @ hotel room, San Diego. Aroma has sweet bourbon tones and licorice. Flavour has licorice, sweet bourbon, vanilla and rye pudding. Also some porto. Very intensive, very sweet, very great. Reminds me of Bells Black Note - this is just more oaty and malty. I would love to have a bottle of this with a great two-hour movie.
