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.

Very red in color bordering on brown with an uninspiring, thin head for style that is orange in cast. Lots of fake tasting banana extract in the nose that reminds me of Circus Peanut candy. There is also a strong solvent-like character in the aroma that smells like nail polish remover. Underneath though, there is some good malt. Flavor is quite similar to the aroma which is disappointing. I like Victory very much as a brewery, but I have not had a wheat beer from them to date that is worth a shit. For me, this is a failure.

Bottle. Very good. Quite strong and very esthery. An excellent beer for late fall/ early winter.

One bottle from JB. Cloudy apple cider looking ale with a small head. Fruity aroma, yeast, clove, spicy with banana esthers. Sweet wheat flavors with nice yeast profile, clove and banana. Smooth medium to full bodied. Very enjoyable! Thanks JB

Pours a bright to dark amber into a Weizen. Head quickly recedes to nothing. Spicy clove, wheat and malt aromas. Fizzy and malty with a lasting lemon wheat finish.

Wow. This stuff rocks! Apple, pumpkin, yeast waft from a dark hazy cider-colored beer with a thin head. The palate is sour with banana taste and some sweetness. Enough hops so it isn’t cloyingly sweet. Carbonation is also noticeable in the palate. I love this brewer.

Pours a rich golden amber with minimum head that wisps away. Distinct Weiss brew with bock body. Yeasty with blended alcohol notes. Commercial description is rather accurate. Very enjoyable.

Pours a nice deep murky amber with a nice tan head. Slightly earthy aroma with a sweet bubblgum aspect and a light tartness. Beautiful creamy body, thick and smooth. Nice warmth and chewy maltyness. Slight spicyness, peppery alcohol hint with a fruity dryness in the finish.

brewtopia 10/21/06. I swore this beer was made with brettanomyces, but now I am thinking the sourness was uninentional. Tasted like a standard weizenbock that was contaminated.
