Nine to Five Wizard is a vibrant Weizenbock that bridges traditional Bavarian craftsmanship with modern hop innovation. The foundational malt profile delivers a rich, bready wheat presence, providing a creamy stage for the expressive Bavarian yeast to perform with classic banana and spicy clove esters. This heritage core is elevated by an assertive dry-hop addition of Magnum, Cascade, Mandarina Bavaria, and Ariana. These New World varieties impart layers of bright orange, succulent mango, and zesty grapefruit, finished with a subtle resinous pine. Effervescent and complex, it balances bock-strength maltiness with a refreshing, citrus-forward edge.
Appearance.Deep gold to light amber with a pronounced, hazy turbidity. It supports a very thick, moussy, long-lasting white head with exceptional lacing.
Aroma.High intensity. Significant bready, grainy wheat malt richness. Strong fermentation esters of ripe banana and spicy clove are immediately present, layered with a bold New World hop profile of orange peel, mango, and a touch of resinous pine.
Taste.Initial impression of sweet, bready malt and creamy wheat. Followed by a complex interplay of banana and clove yeast character. The mid-palate introduces a bright hop-forward citrus and tropical fruit punch from the Mandarina Bavaria and Ariana hops, leading to a moderate bitterness that is firmer than traditional examples. Finishes clean and slightly dry with a lingering grapefruit and spice aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, fluffy, and creamy texture. High carbonation contributes to a lively, effervescent sensation. A mild, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
