OHB – Weizen Bock
When I picked up my bottle of Bardstown Barley Wine last week, I also snagged a bottle of Olde Hickory Brewery's Weizen Bock. I popped the top on this one this evening and was absolutely floored by what I tasted. Steve and Jason went after this beer with both barrels smokin'. This Weizen Bock has a solid malt presence and wonderfully sweet flavor and aroma. From the bottle:
Our Weizen-Bock was inspired by the rugged, majestic beauty of the Alps. Brewed with malted wheat and barley, select German hops and a special Barvarian yeast, our Weizen-Bock exhibits pronounced notes of banana, the spiciness of cloves and coriander and a warmth on the finish. this handcrafted beer is best enjoyed in the company of good friends. Cheers!
8% ABV
Until recently, I had never spent much time drinking wheat beers. I had tried a few over the past years and just never really got into them so much. After some recent tastings, I have come to the realization that these beers, with their lighter body and refreshing taste and crispness, will be most excellent companions in the summer months when it's so friggin' hot and humid outside.
I brewed my first wheat beer this afternoon, and I can't wait to taste it. It's called "Orange Blossom Special" and you can read a little about that rather disasterous experience in my LOG if you like... Wind is not a brewer's friend. This should be a rather nice beer and the aroma should be quite interesting too :)
