🌍 Germany · Weizenbock · One of 17 Weizenbocks in hopIQ

The Weizenbock is the brewery's strong wheat beer for the colder months, brewed at 17.0 °P and released in October. It pours deep amber, close to dark forest honey, with the yeast settling slowly to leave a hazy body under a generous head. The nose is fruity and yeast-driven, with banana and lemon in front, underlined by gentle spice and sweetness. The palate brings full wheat malt, ripe banana and clove with a pleasant hop bitterness, and the alcohol remains only lightly perceptible.

Aroma

The nose is fruity and yeast-driven, led by ripe banana and bright lemon notes. Gentle spice and underlying sweetness round out the top, with the wheat component providing a soft cereal backdrop. No aggressive hop character intrudes on the aromatic profile.

Taste

Full wheat malt character dominates the entry, followed by ripe banana and clove on the mid-palate. Pleasant hop bitterness provides balance without dominating; alcohol warmth remains mild and well-integrated. The finish carries sweet honey tones with lingering clove and a dry wheat texture.
