🌍 Germany · Weizenbock · One of 17 Weizenbocks in hopIQ

A top-fermented wheat bock for autumn and winter, golden yellow at about 16.8 °P and available from early November. The brewery calls it fruity, strong and clove-like. Ripe banana, clove and further fruity yeast notes sit on a full base of wheat bread and honeyed malt. The alcohol adds warmth, carbonation keeps it lively, and the finish is spicy with a light sweetness.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hummel Weizenbock

Appearance

Golden yellow with bright clarity and substantial body. A dense, creamy head forms and lingers, held in place by fine carbonation that keeps the beer visually lively. The color deepens slightly toward amber at the glass edges, typical of the Weizenbock style.

Aroma

The nose opens with ripe banana and clove—classic wheat beer yeast character—layered over a foundation of soft wheat bread and honeyed Malz. Fruity esters dominate, accompanied by subtle spice notes that hint at the warming alcohol beneath. No sharp hop presence; instead, the aroma remains full and malty.

Taste

The palate is full and rounded, leading with the same fruity yeast complexity on entry—banana and clove interwoven with a soft, bready wheat character. Mid-palate brings honeyed sweetness and gentle warmth from the 7% ABV, while residual malt sweetness provides body without cloying. Bitterness remains restrained; instead, spice builds toward swallow.

Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering spice and a light residual sweetness. The alcohol adds gentle heat as flavors fade, leaving a clean, slightly peppery aftertaste that invites the next sip.
