Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

on tap at the devils den, philadelphia. huge glass, inspiring head. what makes this beer so loveable is the combination of summery crispness and luscious grainy fullbody with a bracing spicy finish. this is a beer that truly caters to summer without surrendering to wimpiness. a second glass from the same source was duller and under-carbonated, but
On tap, Jacob Wirths. This is a beautiful beer. This style (of which I am a huge fan) executed to perfections. A nice brown, with a great head. Banana and cloves in the aroma and taste, goes down real smooth, just a superb beer all-around.
Looks amazing. Dark caramel body with a nice fluffy white head. Cloves and caramel malts in the nose. Taste is wonderfully sweet and quite strong. No bitterness at all. Finishes nice and light. Very tasty weizen.
