Nov 28, 2001 This stuff is excellent. Typical wheat beer profile highliting the banana and clove undertones in the taste and aroma. Silky smooth mouthfeel, and dangerously drinkable.

Oct 28, 2001 Awesome. Fruity and yeasty aroma, dark cloudy light brown color. Fruity, apple and citrus tastes with a distinct malty finish. A new beer for my top ten.

Dec 6, 2001 An outstanding interpretation of a wheat bock. Theo’s pupils have learned well.

Sep 26, 2004 This was a fantastic beer. It poured a nice cloudy reddish brown with a very bubbly head. The aroma was a variety of fruitiness and spiciness, and the taste was very similar. This is a great beer to relax with in the late summer or early fall and one that I highly recommend.

Jan 25, 2006 This is a unique German beer style, that is a wheat bock. This style of beer is very similar to dunkle hefeweizen, in that it is an ale, it is brewed with a significant portion of wheat malt, along with some dark malts, and it is bottle conditioned. The yeast strain used in this beer, is the Weihenstaphan strain, which is used in brewing classic Bavarian hefeweizen. Where it differs is that it has the alcohol strength of a bock beer, around 7-8% abv.
Moonglow pour to a murky deep caramel color with a huge, thick, rocky head, and a very lively carbonation. The nose is superb on this beer. Aromas of clove, banana, and ripe fruit marry with sweet malt aroma, and peppery waves of alcohol. The palate is very complex with just layers of flavor. Sweet malt, a touch of caramel, pear, perhaps, some melon, and subtle hints of spice all slide over the tongue. This beer finishes with more good malt flavors up front, then ends with that classic spicy clove/bubble gum yeast character that is signature of the Weihenstaphan strain.
This is an outstanding domestic example of a classic German beer style.

May 22, 2007 Amazing! I’ve never had a beer that made me reconsider my entire view of beer. This one is a worldbeater. If this beer was a naval warship this would be a battleship with 15 inch guns (if size of gun was proportional to amazing depth of taste) with at least two feet of steel armor (if armor was equal to wide array of aromatic delights) and at the helm was a brazen pirate captain (standing for spicy sweetness that clouds the alcohol...and has an eye patch). Overall a fantastic beer with the best description ever, sometimes i read it to kids around a campfire.
