The best beer they make.
The only one that stands out as a prime specimen for the style.

Enjoyable weisenbock. Had on tap at Gettysburg pub. Taste has a very characteristic banana and clove with some hop bitterness and maybe a touch vanilla bean. The flavor is a bit sweet..more ripe banana than green from a sugar point of view. Aroma matches taste. I thought mouthfeel was very good. Not as rich as a doppel but still some nice medium body. Carbonation was nicely medium and refreshing not soda pop bright/burning.
Was disappointed in look. Expected a big billowing head...and instead was small, quickly dissipated.
Overall though a nice version, and definitely worth having trying if you like the style.

This is a tasty bock that leans towards a Maibock.

22 ounce.
Pours a clear brownish golden with a sudsy white head, dissipates to a lacing.
Smells of honey and banana esters as well as a bit of citrus and some grassy malts.
Tastes of crisp grassy malts with a mellow honey and banana fruit sweetness.
Medium body with tingly carbonation throughout.
Very nice and tasty weizenbock, lots of good flavor in this one and goes down very easy. Definitely worth trying this one and I hope to have it again.

Had on tap. Very light brown with a cream head, high carbonation visible. Clove is strongest in the nose and sits upon wheat, brown bread malts, and black pepper. Taste is more yeasty in complexion, missing the dark fruit depth, but has everything else you are looking, wheat and earth interplay is the best part. Feel is light, fizzy and thin for style, a gateway to the style
