Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp #37 beer, the Weizenbock is a "bock" strength dunkelweizen that was brewed at the Sierra Nevada brewery with the input of the German beercampers.
6.8% ABV
Review:
Appearance: Light copper color with a thick white head
Aroma: Cloves, Bananas, bubblegum, and a light grain husk note.
Taste: Sweet and then tangy with a sour and clove dominated finish. Though it is not a lager, the alcohol comes through in a way that is reminiscent of the high gravity lagers and malt liquors that come in tall cans and 40's.
Mouthfeel: Medium mouthfeel with a creamy texture that fades to a sour/tart/dry finish.
(Side Note: This beer was brewed with the same yeast as Kellerweiss.)
Overall:
I think that the high gravity of the wort may have stressed this yeast strain and caused the certain malt liquor feel that I am picking up on. In any case, if you like dunkelweizens this beer may be for you. I found it uninspiring.
Grade: B-
Barrel Man says,
"Entschuldigung,
Deutschlanders."
