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!

Pours light yellow, cloudy, with a fine white head. Pleasantly light, yeasty, and grainy in aroma. Very spicy and effervescent. Good solid mouth feel. Sweet backing. Fuckin’ awesome.

1pt bottle poured into a weizen glass. Cloudy orange with ample creamy white head. Aroma is yeast, bubblegum, spice, banana. Flavor is bubblegum, banana, spice, bread. Medium-bodied, lively carbonation. Medium finish is slightly bitter. This is an odd weizen bock. The dominance of the bubblegum aroma/flavor is more reminiscent of big Belgian beers than a weizen bock. Not a bad beer, just not a great example of the style.

Hazy golden body, huge, towering head, with the bottle foam still coming out from the bottle even when it is half empty! The usual weizen aromas are there (banana, bubblegum, clover), but everything is overshadowed by a rather unpleasant warm, perfumy, alcoholic note reminding me of cheap strong lagers. Oily on the palate, medium bitterness in the finish. All in all, a disappointment from Weihenstephaner. Will probably re-rate.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours a medium golden color that is hazy and cloudy with nice thick white head. Great mouth feel and nicely carbonated. The taste is dominated by clove and has some banana. One of the best I have had. Prost!

( 16.9oz bottle) pours cloudy yellow orange with nice lasting head. Nose of clove, banana, and other spices. Taste of ripe banana, clove, spices, and bread. Creamy and very well carbonated. A great German beer!

Bottle from coldbrewky. Pours a hazy gold with a nice sized white fizzy head. Aroma and flavor are pretty much the same, banana, clove, wheat, and bread. Nice light body, refreshing.

16.9oz bottle. Pours golden with a slight amber hue. The off-white head is initially very active and frothy, but gradually fades to a small ring. Aroma of bubblegum, wheat, spice, banana, and slight vanilla. Banana is the initial flavor, which is joined by wheat, spice, caramel, and citrus. Alcohol becomes more evident towards the finish. Finishes sweet and almost syrupy. Thin to medium bodied, with less carbonation than I expected. It’s far from perfect, but still pretty enjoyable.
