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 a creamy, tawny yellow color w/ a full, semi creamy froth. Superb hangtime reducing slowly to a fine silky canopy. Strong aromas of meaty banana cream pie, lemony citrus, and spice. Very nice indeed! Medium full nectar w/ luscious, creamy residual effers. Thick and malty w/ strong flavors of creamy bananas, fresh lemons, and spicey cloves. Theres a fruity, tropical character that shines through w/ nuances of pineapple, kiwi, and wild apple. The malts are thick but the tropical acids cut through and balance perfectly. The finish long and tastey w/ lingering fruity spice. Highly recommended.

This is an awesome beer. Thick,cloudy, golden and full of effervescence. The strength is noticeable, but the flavor of the alcohol and the malt has a very full, robust, classic German feel to it. All the malt character of any good bock beer and a nice fresh, light tartness that comes from the wheat. Finishes caramel sweet. A classic.

Only my second Weizenbock and what a superb brew. Very good banana nose with nice unfiltered appearence. The taste is outstanding and does taste like a hyper Hefeweizen. Would definately buy again.

500ml bottle in weizen glass. Pale yellow-orange with beautiful dense white head that rises above the glass and some lace. Strong banana-clove yeast aroma. Vanilla-honey sweetness with banana and very mild citrus bitterness in finish. Medium body and medium carbo. Absolutely delicious. Certainly one of the best hefe-weizens I’ve ever had.
