Brewed by Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan
Style: Weizen Bock
Freising, Oberbayern, Germany

500ml. Pours a creamy and vibrant golden yellow. Very hazy indeed with a short lived frothy white head. lots of spicy clove and tart bubblegum aroma. plenty of ester as well. slightly sweet body with a bright fruity flavor and a finish that starts spicy but ends smooth. like a good bavarian wheat but more complexity and fuller flavors. not an aventinus style dopple, but should satisfy anyone who like a real german wheat.

Bottle. Never seen this one before, thank God I saw it. Smell is awesome. Frutiy, full of bananas, lemons, a little bit of hops, no alcohol at all. Really an awesome smelling beer. Taste is sweet and fruity, easy to drink, no alcohol is detected at all. Sweet but not too sweet, very easy to drink. This one went away really quick. Something I will buy again, great stuff.

Pours a slightly cloudy pale yellow with a big thick white head that doesn’t go anywhere. Aroma is citrus and grassiness. Taste is noticeably sweet pale malt and some mild hop grapefruit and banana. Although clearly a weizen, this beer has characteristics of a Belgian tripel. Very good.

Pours gold with a slight haze and two inch bright white head. The aroma is pretty full with a solid wheat note, some ripe banana, citrus tartness, apple and a bit of grainy malts. The taste begins with wheat and quickly adding in a mild ripe note of banana. By midway apple and yeasty spice surface paving the way for mild lemon tartness. It ends with sweet apples and a resurgence of wheat. In the after taste a bit of vague hop bitterness seems to hang on for a while.

Bottle. Hazy golden pour with a big white head. Wheat is immediately apparent, slightly spicy, honeyed aroma. Tropical fruit aroma - pineapple, banana. Buttery, pastry sweet nose. Pear and banana in the flavor, basil-like mint quality. Dry, champagne bubbly finish. Lingering but light bitterness.

(bottle) pours a hazy yellow colour with a huge white head. strong banana aroma, with notes of peanuts, cloves and vanilla. heavy fruity flavour with strong notes of pineapple and banana, grainy pale malts and alcohol. strong carbonation with a semi-sweet, medium to heavy body.

Bottle. Poured a hazy yellow with a tall, creamy white head that settles to a ring but renews a thin layer with a twirl of the glass. Light lace. The aroma is banana, clove, wheat, light citrus, and even a hint of mint. Similar flavor with spices standing out. Light to medium body and dry. Nice!

Pours with big and cloudy, white head. Color is witbier-like hazy orange, very attracting. Aroma is much banana-like, wheaty malty, yeasty and slightly alcoholic. Flavor is yeasty, wheaty, with banana and slight metallic note in the end. Medium-bodied, low carbonated and a bit thin palate.
