Bottle. Hard to imagine a weizen bock with a better aroma. Sweet, with banana, alcohol, creaminess. Very inviting. A little thinner bodies than the aroma would suggest, at first impression. But as the palate adjusts, there’s clearly plenty of flavor here. Alcohol doesn’t really avail itself. A really nice beer. Surprised I haven’t had it before.

Bottle. Clear-to-opaque apricot trumpet fizzing madly beneath a high silky white head. Aroma is wow; toffee apple rolled in clove, orange rind, lemon meringue pie, dribble making Bazooka chew, lemon sherbet, bananas on toast sprinkled with cinnamon, Hoegaarden and all manner of sexual confectionary. Fat and lovely with honeyed banana, clove; candy cigarettes and gentle warming alcohol. Bulbous exotic spice without spice. How do they do it?? A beer to simply marvel at, whilst chucking a few pints down your neck. It’s wintery, it’s summery, it’s perfect fireside refreshment for an English May evening with a gale howling down the chimney and the rain lashing against the windowpane. Top 10 material, no questions.

33cl bottle straight from Munich courtesy of my mother-in-law in the funky new Sam Adams glass which is almost weizen shaped. Cloudy orange with big fluffy white head and lotsa lace. Lots of banana clove bubble gum bread and citrus in the aroma. Sweet peach apricot vanilla with medium wheat tang and sweet vanilla finish. No alcohol burn and no residual bitterness. Just delicious and complex for the style. Awesome.

Cloudy straw (I was expecting it slightly darker) with a thick white creamy cap that hangs around for a while. Banana and bubble gum with a mild spice aroma. Nice carbonation level that fits the style. 7.1 ABV is hardly noticeable. Nice clean somewhat filling finish. An excellent Fall/Spring brew.

What a beer. Massive banana cream pie nose. Overripe bananas, and a hint of tartness. A bit of warm spice on the palate that lingers. More bananas, sweet dough and a touch of citrus. Absolutely smooth as silk going down. This is great stuff.

500 ml bottle. Pours a murky straw color with a frothy white head. Aroma of bananas, clove, wheat, and bubblegum. Taste is much like the nose. Distinct taste of banana, wheat, clove, and hints of vanilla. Medium bodied with a nice creamy mouth-feel. Slight bittersweet finish. Really enjoyable.

Bottle courtesy of Chris & Dennis, thank you gentlemen. Hazy orange color with a fluffy white head that settles quickly to leave good lacing. Aroma of licorice, bubblegum and grapefruit. Flavor also has banana and decent malts. Great example of the style.

16.9 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy cantaloupe hue with a large off-white pillowy head with great retention. Aroma is nice and clovey, banana-ey (yeah, I said banana-ey). Taste is sweet and spicy; refreshing. Highly carbonated with a nice creamy mouthfeel. Very nice weizen bock, a style that’s fast becoming one of my favorites.

Not really groundbreaking among weizenbocks but still a great German beer in its own right with that just right funky yeast flavor.

Looove me some ayinger. This has a nice sweet taste to it. Great overall beer
