Heavy Seas Hang Ten Weizen Dopplebock

Heavy Seas "Hang Ten" Weizen DopplebockBeer-a-Day #58

I generally like Clipper City‘s offerings. That they’re local appeals to me as well.

This is an odd one. Not just a weizenbock, but a weizen dopplebock. 10% ABV, but it’s a summer seasonal.

Deep amber to brown; little head. Lots of fruit in the aroma—melon, banana, bubblegum—and a whole lot of that malty goodness you find in a doppelbock. It’s thick, too, like liquid sourdough bread.

Seems too heavy for the summer, but it’s got something going for it. Very interesting.
