I'll be (Weizen)Bock
Although not "named" at the time, this recipe took a first in category at the 4th Annual Dayton Beerfest - Best of Show at the 4th Annual Music City Brew, and moved on to the second round of the NHC 2000 where it promptly went no further (DRAT!). I am very, very pleased with this one, for obvious reasons!
