Herzog Albrecht
A pale wheat bock released as a seasonal and named after Duke Albrecht V, who granted Zwiesel the coat of arms it still uses in 1560 and in 1567 angered brewers by banning white beer, arguing it wasted wheat. Wheat malt leads the grist ahead of barley malt. A Bavarian mashing method and gentle dry hopping give the brewery's stated very fruity note, with ripe fruit and a light hoppy freshness over honeyed, bready wheat malt, with warming strength and a soft, rounded finish.
