Banana and graham cracker nose. Cloudy golden, thick yellow head, minimal lacing. Lemony banana flavor, apricots as well, not nearly as bready as the nose. Medium body. Abundant fruity esters, decent wheat character.
Refrigerated 0.5 L brown bottle poured into a weizen glass. Hazy copper with one-finger off-white head. Aroma is clove, medium body, medium carbonation, and some small-bubble lacing. Taste is clove, banana, and spice. Good beer, may have had some age and would have been slightly better fresher.
Ins Glas ergießt sich ein trübes orangegelbes Bier mit schöner Schaumkrone. Geruch intensiv hefig fruchtig, Geschmack sehr hefig, fruchtig, bananig, leicht würzig, leicht alkoholisch.
Fruchtig, teilweise sogar zu sehr. Der Alkohol bleibt hinten und somit ist es sehr trinkbar. Etwas zu süß mit den ganzen überreifen Früchten. Aber alles in allem dennoch zu empfehlen.
Bottle from Pivnizub - many thanks, Günther! The Weizen Bock pours out in a cloudy orange-amber colour with big steady head and medium to smooth body. Aroma of yeast and bananas. Taste of intense yeast,malt, overripe bananas and old fruit salad. Thick, sweetish finish. Too sweet and too much banana for me.
[Thanks to kevnic2008]. Bottle. Hazy orange/light brown colour with an off white head that quickly diminishes. Aroma has notes of banana and wheat, clove and yeast. Flavor is sweet, with light notes of caramel, toasted wheat and some spices with banana hints. sweet fonal with a creamy sensation on the mouth.
Schöne dunkelgelbe Farbe im Glas, mild-süßlicher Geruch. Der Antrunk ist angenehm mild-süffig, schön süßlich-hefig und nicht zu aufdringlich. Zun Hauptteil wird das Bier etwas malziger, kräftiger, abervon den 7% schmeckt man überhaupt nichts! Sehr schön mild-weich und cremig. Der Nachgeschmack ist süffig-süßlich-hefig-mild mit schöner süßlich-malzigen Note.
--> Sehr gelungener Weizenbock – mild und rund. Lecker!

Orangenfarben mit üppiger Schaumkrone. Hefe, Weizen, Gewürznelke, Banane und Zitrone sind zu erschmecken. Ziemliche Aromendichte und durchweg vollmundig. Genießerstoff!

Serving type: bottle
Appearance- Pours a cloudy dark golden yellow with very little head and some good lacing on the glass.
Aroma- Smell is of banana and clove with a subtle spiciness to it
T/P- Taste is very strong of banana and wheat, beer is well carbonated but leaves a slight spiciness on the tongue
Overall- This is a good wheat beer, I am not a big fan of wheat’s with a very strong banana flavor but this one is very nice.
Bottle from red white and brew. Pours golden with an inch of white foam that leaves a bit of lacing. Nice banana and clove notes on the nose. Those notes feel more subdued on the tongue. Thicker mouthfeel and taste than the dunkel. Finishes fairly clean. Solid.

New Beer Distributors, NY 500ml ($3): Pours a hazy light brown color with very little head. Aroma is banana, clove, wheat. Taste is much the same. Sweetness is actually pretty low, which is nice. Body is nice and easy drinking. This almost doesn’t feel like a weizen bock, which is fine because it makes up for it by being quite smooth.
