Great Lakes continues to impress with their awesome beverages. The Glockenspiel is noe exception. The beer pours a dark copper with burnt orange highlights. No real head of which to speak, just some thin wisps on top & a small ring around the perimeter. Marginal lacing at best. The smell includes sweet nose with just a bit of tartness. Light fruit notes - banana & apple. Hints of clove. The taste exhibits more tartness than in the nose; almost sour with banana & orange tones. The mouthfeel is a bit downgraded due to the heacy ABV. The body is heavy Overall it's drinkable, but nothing about it screams exceptional by any means. Worth a shot, but I'm no hurry for another.

On-tap @ Circle Bowl in Ledgewood, NJ.
Deep amber in color and slightly hazy with a very small head. Poor head retention with low carbonation. Wheat and toasted malt combined with plenty of banana and clove in the aroma. Rich malt flavor with a touch of dark fruit and alcohol. Smooth finish with medium-full body. Could really be improved by increasing the carbonation. An average weizenbock, overall.

Dark brown, thin tan cap. Lots of bready, Bavarian pretzel flavors with undernotes of some alcohol / phenol flavors which seemed thin & underdeveloped.
