Jura Weizen Bock

Tap to rate

Wheat bock with roasted malt aromas, a banana note and a malty body. Top-fermented, 6.5 % ABV from a rich 17.2 % original gravity. From the Plank brewery in Wiefelsdorf, Upper Palatinate, where wheat beers ripen in the bottle, are never pasteurised and are brewed under the Reinheitsgebot with Bavarian whole-cone hops and regional malt.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Jura Weizen Bock

◎ Appearance

Deep golden-amber hue with visible cloudiness from natural yeast suspension, characteristic of unfiltered Bavarian wheat beers. The head forms densely and clings to the glass with excellent retention, creating persistent lacing as the beer is consumed. Fine carbonation contributes to a refined visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced wheat and roasted malt character, evoking bread crust and subtle cocoa undertones. A distinctive banana ester note emerges distinctly, typical of the weizenbock fermentation, layered beneath the malty foundation. Noble hop aromatics provide a gentle herbal backdrop without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with rich, full-bodied wheat malt sweetness and develops into deeper roasted flavors of dark bread and light caramel. Banana yeast character integrates seamlessly with the malty backbone, while restrained bitterness from Hallertauer hops provides balance without harshness. The 6.5% ABV remains well-integrated, with subtle warmth building toward the finish.
