Commercial Description:
Volks Weizenbock combines the strong malty component of a bock bier with the tangy, spiciness of the Hefe Weizen. This beer is brewed 1 1/2 times stronger than our Hefe Weizen and is aged commensurately longer for extra smoothness! Volks Weizenbock is "The Peoples Beer"!

Draft at the Gettysburg brewpub. Happy Birthday, honey! Ruddy red with a thin creamy off-white head. Lightly yeasty aroma which is a bit better pronounced in the first sip. Tad tangy with a twinkle of clovey spices and a sweet bready finish. (#3288, 1/11/2008)

Draft pint at Appalachain in Harrisburg. Poured from the tap a very cloudy (muddy) brown with little to no head. Heavy on the candied banana, sharp alcohol, sharply astringent malts and soggy bread and toast notes up front, with a similar smell. The body on this completely falls apart over the middle, and it finishes with more simple candied banana flavors and a strikingly astringent grain husk note. The alcohol is far too apparent for something of this weight, and overall it’s just unappealing in all respects.

On draft at capones. Pours a light copper color with a decent white head. Aroma of light caramel, malts, and a hint of molasses. Flavor is similar to aroma with a thin body

On draft at Capones. Pours a translucent copper with a decent size off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts. The flavor is slightly sweet, caramel, not anything like a weizen bock should be for me. thin body, and weak.

Amber body with a thick, frothy off-white head. Aroma of bubble gum, light caramel, and cake. Lots of yeasty esters, some doughiness, plus honey, vanilla, and latex tones. Not bad after it sits a little.
