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!

Fresh beer. Hides the high amount of alcohol (for a Weizen) perfectly. Citrus/herb taste, really special. Very light colour. Had a 0.5l bottle in Rapallo, Italy at a nice grand café.

Pours a hazy saffron color into my Franziskaner weizen glass. Big 3 finger head is pure white, not much lacing. Good retention. Aroma is lemon meringue, banana oil, flowers, clove, and a hint of copper. Tastes like an imperialized version of a hefeweizen. Not a lot of dark, chewy, bready malt flavor at all. This beer is focused around banana, lemon, and clove. Also a touch of vanilla. Not bad, but certainly lacking the complexity a darker weizenbock (like Aventinus) would likely provide. Highly carbonated, but not overly so. Medium body with a sticky banana pith finish. Classic Weihenstephaner drinkability.

pale slightly cloudy yellow with a well sized head the fizzes down to a constant one-finger size leaving little to no lace
wheaty aroma with light banana spices and a astringent floral current.
heavy on the banana spices with a trace of hops as well.
really smooth palate.

Bright cloudy yellow with tropical fruit aroma and a thick frothy head. Slightly tart and a little spritzy on the palate. I was expecting more from this beer than what was delivered.
