Weihenstephaner Vitus

Brewed by Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan
Style: Weizen Bock
Freising, Oberbayern, Germany

a yellow-golden hazy beer with a slightly offwhite head smooth carbonation smells yeasty, spicy and fruity, som alcohol ( seems a little bit harsh at the beginning) tasts yeasty, spicy, and like fruitpunch aftertaste is spicy, fruity, bittersweet and warming alcohol ( pperhaps a little bit harsh)

Spicy nose, cloves, baking spices, banana bread. Almost ripe peach enters with the malt balanced by wheat tang. A hefe on growth hormones. Not that it feels manipulated in a nefarious way. The "bock," part here means a loss of body and turbidity that adds a very Champagne like structure and roundness. Tasty. Drinkable. 89

From a bomber sized bottle, pictured here. Aroma is refreshing and volatile at the same time. Slightly lighter than other hazy weizen bocks I’ve had. First taste indicates lots of sparkling carbonation, welcomed for a high alky beer. Plenty of hefe here, banana, spices and the like. All laced with a wealthy amount of alky content. Finish is just a tad medicinal in the alky department. One of the lighter weizen bocks I’ve had as far as personality goes.

Light colored, frothy. Musty, clove, yeasty, slight alcohol on the nose. Quite fruity, almost a bit sour, slight spices and banana, although fruit is more dominant. This ones on the lighter, crisper, fruitier side of the weizenbocks i’ve had. Only detractions is their is a bit of a bland-salty aftertaste.

a nice citrus aroma, hazy yellow-orange with a pinpoint head. Spicy. Flavor is sour and creamy with an alcohol bite. Nice mouthfeel.

500ml bottle. Pours a huge, rocky-meringue, lasting white head with a hazy, golden body. Unexpectedly light color. Some very light yeast clouds dancing around. Excellent, clumpy lacing that could be spooned out. Heavy malt aroma of bread, grain, cereal and doughy yeast. Big yeasty, phenolic spice aromas - mainly clove and a touch of coriander. Lower levels of fruity esters, which I like. Very light banana with a bit of pear. Medium-full body with a creamy texture and a bit of pleasantly warming alcohol. Average carbonation with a very lightly bitter finish...just enough to balance the sweetness. Overall an awesome beer. I’ll be buying some more of this.

Banana and lemon bouquet, not very strong. Dingy yellow color, with a huge white head. Very noticeable alcohol, stinging mouthfeel. Similar to a carbonated lemondrop (lemon juice and vodka), but with cloves. Wheat grass finish.

A hazy golden weizen bock with a super thick and creamy white head. A nice and rich yeasty aroma, with bananas, vanilla fudge, light sulfuric and mineral notes, very pleasant. In mouth, a nice refreshing wb, not too sweet or heavy, with light banana puree, cloves, again, lighter than expected but well balanced. Medium bodied with light hopping in finale.
