3.5 Bottle @ Žmogšala3 festival, Vilnius. Pours slightly hazy amber with small white head. Aroma: bananas, yeasty, wheaty, a bit alcoholic. Taste the same as aroma+ some yellow fruits. Sweet finish.

3.4 Bottle. Heavy yeasty aroma of banana, gum and cloves. Some malt and hops too. The flavours starts light sweet but finish bitter. The body is medium and the texture is watery. Soft carbonation.

2.8 Bottled: Amber color with a slight haze. Creamy head. Yeasty and wheaty aroma with a touch of citrus. Flavour is yeast and wheat leading to a warming, boozy finish. A touch too boozy for my liking.

2.6 330ml bottle (thanks FatPhil). Clear amber color. Medium size, white head, stays. Sweet, strawberries, caramel in aroma. Sweet, strawberries and wheat in taste. Just so damn sweet. Since I’m quite drunk, can’t feel the alcohol. Quite meh Weizen bock.

2.7 330ml bottle (Alus celle, Riga) Sticky sweet aroma, taste also sticky sweet. Has a heavy wheatiness. Some almond aspect. Finish sweet, wheaty, and a bit heavy. Normally I really like wizenbocks, but this is too brash, sweet, and heavy. Some alcohol later.

3.7 Bottle. Amber body with nice white head. Aroma is more Belgian yeast than German yeast. Taste is caramel with some sourness and fruits. Aftertaste is yeasty malts with slight bitterness. Aftertaste is nice yeast and malts with some bitterness in the background. Nice one.

3.0 Bottle. Golden orange color. Aroma of sweet banana, yeast and toffee. Taste is quite sweet as well, with banana yeast, wheat, candi and some grain. Bit simple and somewhat too sweet.

3.6 Sweet aroma of toffee biscuits with wild fruit tee, hints of citrus. Taste is balanced between bitter - sour - sweet. Long, warming aftertaste. Reminds me of a calm evening, around Christmas time, sitting near a fireplace and looking at the snow outside of the window.

3.0 Bottle at home. Pours amber orange, nose is banana, clove, toffee, taste is similar.

3.1 33cl bottle from Biernavigatie. Pale orange/amber with a small off-white head. Medium body with light to moderate carbonation. Sweet with bitter tones. Malts, yeast, grass, alcohol, banana and vanilla. An ok, but not too special weizenbock.

3.3 0.33 l bottle. Light brown with a thick white head. Banana, yeast, yeast and hops. Sweet malts, banana, yeast and alcohol. Medium body and a nice warming Mouthfeel.

3.4 Bottle from Ölhus Stockholm, Helsinki. A color of reddish brown with a little head. Aroma is original but a bit peculiar for a weizenbock: it has notes of sherry, berries, currant and vanilla. Taste is strong and sweet, with no wheaty notes in it. Sherry, ripe fruitiness and berries dominate the taste. Medium to full bodied, sticky palate. A very weird weizenbock alltogether, the age of the bottle might have affected the taste.

3.1 Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a slightly hazy copper colour, with an average size off-white head. Aroma of wheat, malt, caramel and banana. Slightly oily texture, medium body, soft carbonation.

3.8 Ins Glas ergießt sich ein trübes orangebraunes Bier mit schöner Schaumkrone. Geruch nach sehr reifen Früchten, Hefe, dunkle Früchte. Geschmack hefig, fruchtig malzig, leicht herb, leicht alkoholisch.

3.4 Botella de 33 cl de 2d2dspuma tomada en 07-03-2014 en el momento. Color ámbar miel anaranjado bastante oscuro con espuma blanca poco persistente. --- Aromas intensos a cereales con sensación final de licor ---Sabores intensos también de cereales con sensación alcohólica bastante presente que le da un aspecto de licor. Cuerpo medio fuerte de 8.5 vol que se hace mas apreciable de la mitad en adelante. Bastante buena, una gran carga de cereales y con alcohol para la boca. Para repetir sin problema.

2.9 Bottle bought in Copenhagen in November 2012. Hazy orange/copper with a small head. Quite sweet with malt, caramel, yeast and dried fruit.

2.6 @Gyllenbock: ett ganska mediokert öl med små toner av malt, men annars ganska tunt. ---- Soberness not garanteed!

3.6 Bottle. Bronze with a small head. Slight wheatiness but less noticeable than I had expected. Medium body with low carbonation. Classy example of this style but not very exciting.

3.6 Bottle. Hazy bronze with a medium sized diminishing good laicing off white head. Aroma is over ripe fruit, wheat, dark fruits, caramel. Taste is medium sweet and light/medium sweet. Medium body, oily texture, soft/medium carbonation. Lasting fruit in the finish.
