Commercial Description:
This dark amber wheat beer features fruity and spicy aromas galore. Significant strength underlies the pleasant citric appeal of this bock beer. Redolent with the flavors of harvest fruit, Moonglow typifies the traditional weizenbock-style so thoroughly enjoyed throughout Bavaria. Left unfiltered, its unique yeast strain gives Moonglow a radiance all its own.

Bottled (Thanks Dennis Bell) Reddish Coppery pour with thin head. A hint of spice and malt can be detected and a small tone of fruit. (Possibly banana). Taste of Malt and some hop and spice. It was good but I expected better.

On tap in Carroll Gardens (Brooklyn) NY. I loved this beer! Loved the smoothness and finish, along with the hints of banana. No idea it was 8.7% until I read about it here. Very drinkable, wish I could find it in more places.

Very enjoyable weizen here. Yet another finely crafted and authentic German-style offering from Victory. Their "continental" beers are outshining their more "American" offerings these days...

12 oz bottle from Shadey. Smell is bananas and some spice. Pour is a dark amber/brown. Nice amount of carbonation. Taste is not overly complex, but pretty true to form. Im surprised by the alcohol content here, because this is actually pretty drinkable. nice beer.

12 oz. bottle: Initial aroma of berries, bananas and yeastiness. Poured a dark amber color with minimal head. Tasted somewhat like bananas and spices. Very malty. As the beer warmed up, the aroma swayed toward the yeastiness, smelling like musty bread. Smooth palate with lower than average carbonation. Finished moderately with spices and yeast. The alcohol is very well hidden in this relatively strong brew. This beer changed quite a bit as it warmed up and I think I preferred it slightly colder. I personally liked the initial aroma much better and this could have done with more head. Otherwise, a very solid offering from Victory.

On tap @ Coles. Buffalo, NY. Not a big fan of bananas so this rating may come in low. Very distinctive tastes & drinkable. Probably would have been better off not reading the discription on Victory.com before actually trying the beer

Banana bread in a beer. Great tastes and aroma’s. A very enjoyable drinkable bock beer. You can hardly tell it’s 8.7% ABV.
