3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
03/01 Draught at the brewpub. They ran out of the weizen, but had this winter seasonal weizenbock. Poured reddish brown body with bigger ebony head. Aroma is very nice weizen yeasty, banana, peach and orange with some berry fruits. Flavor quite nice, too, sweetish and fruity. Medium bodied, goes down very smoothly, actually too much. If not ordered as weizenbock I would think it’s an ordinary weizen as did not notice any bock character. Alcohol not felt at all. Very nice and tasty otherwise.

Draught at the brewpub and shared with Doggythedog.
Hazy orange coloured, medium sized white head. The nose was mixture of vanillin sugar and jam. Aroma is wheaty, fruity and slight sweet. Alcohol is not so pronaunced for 6.5%ABV. Nice and easy drinkable weizenbock.

The first beer from the big beerhunt I did with ozujsko in Graz.
Their website showed (and still shows) Helles Extraleicht as the special, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that Weizenbock was on instead. Served in a big weizen glass. Poured a hazy, almost opaque dark orange colour. Medium sized, thick, almost "firm" chalky white head. Nice. The nose was interesting, strawberry jam, some malt and a lingering presence of alcohol. The taste was quite alcoholic for the stated 6.5%/16°... fruity in a cooked plum and peach way, but ended up grainy with some white grape like hopiness showing up. Wasn’t all that wheaty. A bit lactic, some hints maybe showing up from time to time, more so when it warmed, and I think it could’ve benefited from more prounounced weissbier esters. Still, it’s tasty and warming and definitely a pleasant surprise.
