Weihenstephaner Vitus

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

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a head of all foam finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy softly carbonated yellow colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was hoppy and wheat. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt hops dough and wheat. A decent one that I would consider buying again. Very easy to drink.

Light gold, steady bubbles, foamy thick 3 finger head. Lovely, but it’s the lightest weizen I’ve ever seen. Strong yeast aroma, some banana. Same banana up front in the sip, gets dirty and yeasty quickly with a gritty texture to it.

Bottle. Rating 420, there should be a soundtreat but it doesn’t play. Pours a hazy golden amber wtih big frothy white head. Aroma is wheaty and full of fresh banana. Flavor comes in with a yeasty doughiness and plenty of wheat and banana with hints of spice. Finish is short and clean. Moderate carbonation with a chewy but lighter mouthfeel. Well hidden alcohol. I will buy more for sure, very nice.

Draught at Bishop’s Arms SoFo, Stockholm. Cloudy dark yellow, small head. Strong banana aroma with a touch of toffee. Sweet and malty, fruity and near full bodied with some caramel and lots of banana esters. Alcohol is there, but acts in the background. Low bitterness. A warming, fruity beer, feels just as a ramped up hefeweizen.

Pours a cloudy dark yellow color. Medium to large fizzy white head that quickly shrinks to a small cap. Nose is rubber, sour, and yeast. mouth feel is medium bodied and the finish is fizzy and a bit acidic. Taste is raquetballs, wheat, malt, lemon?, and some citrus. A great weizenbock in my opinion from a really great company.

1 pint 0.9oz bottle: Pours a cloudy golden with a slight orange hue and a nice large head that lingers. Aroma has got the definite wiezen characteristics. A nice orange and lemon citrus spritz, banana, wheat overtones, spiced similar to a hefe. Taste is nicely robust and mouth filling. I was basically expecting a Hefe but this is nicely complex. A nice bite of citrus and wheat really make this a really luscious brew. Overall, Man this stuff is a good wiezen I really like this!

Bottle (500ml). Cloudy yellow-amber with a huge fluffy-fizzy white lasting head. Wow that smells great - lemony and sweet malt, like a dry hefe-weizen with woody overtones, bubblegum and light floral hops. The taste follows, like a banana-grassy hefe with hints of peat and iodine, quite tasty and slightly bitter in the finish. Juicy, slick mouthfeel, quite fruity and lively, slightly medicinal aftertaste- like everything from this brewery, really classy and well-founded.

Excellent!!. a perfect example of what a Hefe should taste like, bubble gum and banana flavors. decent malts, low hops but everything else works very well. a must have.
