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!

Bottle poured a cloudy gold with a small lingering white head. Aromas of wheat, yeast, banana, light bubblegum and a hint of spice. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of wheat, light banana and a hint of clove with a smooth fruity finish.
tastes a lot different than any Weizenbock I’ve ever had, more of an Imperial Hefe to me.

Aroma of wheat, lemon? and yeast, hazy orange/yellow, small white head. Taste begins with a huge wheat profile, lot’s of lemony zing, which is odd but intriguing. Medium bodied, very well balanced, delightful mouth feel, gorgeous silky texture. Fantastic! Thanks mds.

Medium hazed gold, white fizzy head. Nice aromas of toasted banana and caramel up front. Warming brings out soft chocolate spice and bready pear tones. Clove and caramel fruitiness balance on further notes of warm bread and pear. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, crisp finish. Very nice…

Cloudy golden amber color, big white head as one would expect. Taste is pretty much like an ordinary hefe, but maybe a bit sweeter. Not as dark in flavor as I had expected.

bottle - Pours hazy yellow with a thin white head. It looks unusually light for the style. It smells of yeast and bananas. The flavor is sweet and has obvious banana notes with the citrus esters. It’s medium bodied and there’s a little noticeable alcohol. It’s alright, but I expected more.

Oct. 2007 - Straw yellow pour with decent head, no lacing. Aroma is sweet and wheaty. Flavor was just a delicious blend of heavy clove, banana and other fruits. Really sweet but not overbearing and still retaining the "lightness" of a hefe. Smooth mouthfeel. Another excellent brew from my favorite German brewer.

Hmmm, this doesn’t seem like any Weizen Bock I’ve ever seen but I’m not gonna argue with the label. Much lighter than I expected. Taste like a std. hefe to me but still solid and enjoyable. Easy drinker too; so much so that the 7.7 really sneaks up on ya. Good banana flavor.
