COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A light-coloured, spicy single-bock wheat beer, for both beer lovers and the beer connoisseur. Extra long and cold storage in our monastery cellars makes this single-bock a really special beer with full body and a distinctively great mouthfeel. Prost!

Pours golden yellow with a nice half inch head. Aromas of banana and wheat. Nice sweet taste of banana and wheat with a nice tart finish. High carbonation and very refreshing and drinkable.

DrSilverworm (703) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JAN 29, 2012
16.9 fl oz bottle, $4 from BellaVino. Half-hazy faded yellow color. A very nice one-finger amount of persisting foamy white head. Really big body, pronounced, but smooth and fine carbonation. Spicy clove taste on a malty wheat base. Citrus peel. Kind of sour and acidity. After sampling a few weizenbocks from lesser-known breweries and really enjoying them, I’m disappointed by this offering from Weihenstephaner. Decent, but not nearly as drinkable or tasty as others I’ve tried.

Sunny color, slightly hazy, with massive foamy white head. Heady Banana cream pie on the first whiff, followed by dried wheat. On the palate, very nice dried wheat, and banana, with a hint of bubble gum. An amazing, amazing beer.

Sizzler80 (87) - Dublin, IRELAND - JAN 25, 2012
Cloudy, straw coloured with a thick, creamy white lid. Bags of citrus fruit, berries, banana and tiger balm interestingly. Hugely aromatic. Wow all come through on the palate, particularly and a hint of the tiger balm. Medium low carbonation and full bodied. Vibrant full or aroma and flavour. Love it! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bif (525) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - JAN 23, 2012
Bottle- Pours a hazy golden color with a billowy head that slowly fades to nice lacing. Aroma of fruit, primarily banana, with spice some fresh grain and bit of citrus. Taste of banana, mild fruit, some sweetness and a nice subtle bitterness and a clean finish. Fairly medium body, smooth and creamy. very nice balance, not being overly sweet. Easy drinker, good example of the style. Well worth a try.
