Tap to rate

Amber and strong: Hopf's Weißer Bock tastes lightly malty and joins wheat-beer aroma with a subtle clove note and a yeasty character. Piquant and full-bodied, it is made for the cold season. Brewed in Miesbach with wheat and barley malt, hops and yeast, 17.5 % original gravity brings 7 % ABV. The brewery calls it a strong piece of home.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hopf Weißer Bock

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper hue, characteristic of a strong wheat beer at 22 SRM. The beer presents a slightly hazy appearance from active yeast in suspension, with a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with classic wheat-beer phenols—a distinct clove note sits prominently alongside subtle banana esters. Beneath these, warm yeasty characters emerge, underpinned by light, soft malt sweetness that suggests grain and bread without any harsh grain-husk tones.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and piquant on entry, with wheat malt providing a smooth, slightly spicy foundation. The mid-palate balances mild malt sweetness against a low, restrained bitterness (20 IBU) that never dominates. A modest alcohol warmth builds toward the finish, lending weight and a gentle boozy character.

Weizen glass

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
