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!

Bottle from By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a sparking golden body with a frothy carbonic head. Yeasty banana bread presence with definitive tangy esters. Stylistically, this is a one of a kind bock with a dynamic phenolic odor. Perfect balance of flavor and attitude. Great beer!

St. Petersburg, Fl. - Shep’s Deli - 500 ml bottle. Murky, light golden pour with a fluffy snow white head that sticks around quite a while - thought weizenbocks were supposed to be dark?. Strong banana and clove aroma. Flavor has the same elements, very full bodied and potent with some good ester notes. Flavor is very tangy - for lack of a better word. Thick, rich, sticky mouthfeel. Surprised I have not come across this before.

Somewhat pleasing. A nice cloudy straw color. A mildly astringent aroma, some banana notes some bread notes too. Flavor seemed to have a cloying sweetness to it. Some bread like malts. Good but not great.

(GERMAN) Pours a hazy orange color with a dissipating white head. Aroma is of funk, lemons, and spices. The taste is sweet like bread with some banana hints. You can taste some alcohol in the finish !!! Not bad at all, if you can get past the smell.
