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!

Aroma was slightly wheat and sweet. Color was like a hefeweizen, with a cloudy yellow body and a white head. Taste is sweet and not as sour as a hefeweizen, so like a hefe without hefe yeast. Very carbonated, making the liquidy consistency feel more full.

TarcisioVasco (88) - Ribeirão Preto (SP)., BRAZIL - MAY 15, 2013
Certamente uma das minhas cervejas prediletas, talvez a minha preferida da Escola Alemã. Complexa, aroma e sabor únicos, toques de castanha inesquecíveis, uma cerveja pra deixar sempre na sua geladeira.

langeveld12 (101) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 15, 2013
Pours an average frothy white head that mostly diminishes. Body is yellow and hazy. Aroma contains moderate malts (light bread, hay), light hops (citrus fruits), light yeast (dough) and banana, grape, raisin, pear, pineapple, cherry, cassis, coriander, vanilla, cola and spices. Flavor is light acidic (lots of fruits), then some sweet and some bitter. Body is medium with a bit thick texture and soft carbonation. A very refreshing beer. I love it!

On tap. Has the nice wheat characteristics but is a little stronger, bolder and more flavorful.

Pours hazy straw with impressive head. Aroma of cardamom like spice honey and banana. Flavor adds breast notes and a lingering spicy banana aftertaste

Miked1687 (208) - Buffalo, New York, USA - MAY 12, 2013
On tap at Blue monk. Hazy yellow pour with a thin white head. Aroma is not too strong, but I’m getting some fruit, wheat, and yeast. Taste is very fruity. Banana, bubblegum, spices. Really smooth mouth feel with low carbonation.

arkurzynski (1186) - West Bend, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 10, 2013
Hazy pale amber with frothy white head. Nose is meaty citrus with lemon moving towards more of an orange aspect. Notes of refined yeast spice, faint vanilla, and light floral esters. Flavor is more of the orange-lemon citrus with light banana and faint bubblegum. Has a medium+ body but finishes with a lightly dry, carbonated finish. Lingering orange/lemon/banana. Very drinkable.

EtTuCthulhu (374) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - MAY 10, 2013
This beer’s nose combines a fruity and malty sourness with hints of yeast and clove, and the appearance combines a cloudy golden color with a sudsy white head that has no retention. The taste is quite sour and mildly sweet, which is fairly abrasive on the tongue, and the palate fuses a fizzy carbonation, thin texture, abrupt finish, and a medium body. Even if this beer was great tasting and drinkable (which it wasn’t completely), it is still weird to see these qualities in a weizen bock, for it was very reminiscent of a trippel than anything.

Balanced with proeminent alcohol. Complex and strong with a fruity taste at the aftertaste. Amazing.

50 cl bottle. Pours yellow hazy with large head. Fruity (pineapple) sweet refreshing taste with and a distinct acidity. Love this beer in the summertime.

Malty_MacHops (553) - Eastanollee, Georgia, USA - MAY 4, 2013
Strong notes of clove and spice mixed with sweet caramel notes and dark bread. Deep golden with a big foamy head. Sweet with balance from the spice flavors. Medium full bodied with a sweet spice finish. Their yeast produces a very different profile from similar Germany brewers.
