As a pale version within the weizenbock style, this beer pours a shade deeper than the light orange-tinted gold of Leopold Bros. standard hefe-weizen. The head is M.I.A. and the appearance is highly cloudy with little carbonation supporting it.
Smell is a bit shy without any carbonation to help it, but in due time soft citric notes and apple notions waft up. The strongest scent is of sweet, doughy malt with a light phenolic shade to it.
Though seemingly a doubled-up version of their hefe, this beer takes awhile, at this point at least, to settle in - a lot of flavors going on and not always harmoniously. The base is a firm maltiness with many citric and softly phenolic flavors. In time a moderate banana flavor and overly assertive hops come out in the finish as does the alcohol, and often to too much of a burn and sometimes even at the middle of a swig. Definitely tastes like a suped-up version of their hefe, which strengthens the yeast flavors as well as the boozy hiccup.
All told, the combination can be messy but definitely comes across as a stronger Bavarian wheat beer, obviously more weisse than dunkle. Still refreshing though sometimes bracing.
