Commercial Description:
This dark amber wheat beer features fruity and spicy aromas galore. Significant strength underlies the pleasant citric appeal of this bock beer. Redolent with the flavors of harvest fruit, Moonglow typifies the traditional weizenbock-style so thoroughly enjoyed throughout Bavaria. Left unfiltered, its unique yeast strain gives Moonglow a radiance all its own.

A hazy orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet orangy, combined with light notes of wheat and alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with lots of caramel as well as light notes of wheat, that gives it a dry end, but it also has light spicy notes. The alcohol, that sets in from the middle gives the warmth.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, dark amber with an off-white head. Rich aromas with lots of banana, yeast and alcohol - also some almost vinous touches. Fairly solid body with lots of fruit - banana in particular - and a rich, alcoholic finish. Lovely. 290806

VENOM is giving this one away like it was Big Daddy IPA, but I don’t see anyone complaining. It’s been a while I had the opportunity to catapult a beer into the Top Ten, but I’m afraid it won’t happen today. Very nice beer, though - cloudy chestnut appearance; lovely aroma of banana, soft malt (biscuits, soft caramel tones) and pears. The palate is a little less complex, but brings wheat, pears and rounded malt flavours to the table. It is fairly acidic, and that helps balance out the malts, leaving the brew far more drinkable than one would prefer an 8.7%’er to be.

Hazy dark amber body with minimal head. Aroma is spicy (mostly clove) and malty, slightly fruity (pear?) too. Taste is rich, mostly sweet wheat, but also malty, tart/acidic, and ever-so-slightly banana and pear. Slightly sticky mouthfeel. And oh yeah, it’s got HOW MUCH alcohol? Damn -- you’d never know.

Hazy dark nutty brown, small off-white head. Ryeish, bready, a bit wheaty with "American nose". Banana, bread, toffee ... lacks the power of Aventinus, but quite tasty.

(Bottle) Pours a cooper-brown color with a medium beige head. Has multiple fruit flavors of banana, apple, and lemon, as well as some spicy flavor.
