🌍 Germany · Weizenbock · One of 13 Weizenbocks in hopIQ

A Weizenbock is wheat beer with ambition, and Autenrieder's version proves it. Pale gold, full-bodied and 7.2%, it hits with intense banana and clove from the yeast — amplified by a malt backbone that's rich without tipping into dessert. The body is almost creamy; carbonation is restrained. Powerful wheat beer that doesn't apologize.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Autenrieder Weizen-Bock

Appearance

Pale gold with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lace. Carbonation is gentle and deliberate, lending the beer a composed, almost creamy visual presence rather than aggressive effervescence. The body moves with weight and substance behind the translucent gold hue.

Aroma

The nose announces itself with bold clove and ripe banana — classic Weizenbock signatures amplified by the strain's phenolic intensity. Beneath sits a warm, breadlike Malz character that anchors without overwhelming, with a whisper of alcohol warmth that underscores the beer's 7.2% weight. The yeast-driven profile dominates entirely.

Taste

Entry is full and slightly sweet, with a soft malt backbone that carries notes of wheat bread and honey. Mid-palate expands into the clove and banana in concert, never sharp or thin — the body remains creamy and substantial. Bitterness is restrained (20 IBU), allowing the malt sweetness and yeast character their platform without drying edge.

Finish

The finish is clean and lingering, with clove and a faint spice drying slowly across the palate. A gentle alcohol warmth persists without harshness, leaving behind the impression of a wheat beer with genuine backbone.
