(Bottled) Thick foamy white head. Looks like freshly powdered snow. Body is a cloudy golden color. Light aroma of clove. Nice flavor of fresh yeast and some noble hop character. More like a wheat beer than a bock beer, which can be quite cloying. Clean palate.

500ml bottle into weizen glass. Pours hazy effervescent amber with obligatory towering white head. Nose is banana, cloves and cinnamon. A thousand tiny bubbles persist. Slick sweet mouthfeel. Finish is fruity with alcohol and malt. Interesting, like a souped-up hefe. Goes well with cake.

Bottle from Vinmonopolet, Vika. Pours hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma of banana, wheat with hints of yeast and spices. Very fruity and quite refreshing. Not much bitterness, but some acidity. Alcohol is well hidden.

Rated Oct. 2008. Pours gold with a slight haze and two inch bright white head. The aroma is pretty full with a solid wheat note, some ripe banana, citrus tartness, apple and a bit of grainy malts. The taste begins with wheat and quickly adding in a mild ripe note of banana. By midway apple and yeasty spice surface paving the way for mild lemon tartness. It ends with sweet apples and a resurgence of wheat. In the after taste a bit of vague hop bitterness seems to hang on for a while.

Nose: pea, bubble gum and a little hint of white pepper. Pours a hazed medium gold body, minimal Head has poor retention. Nice mouth tingly clean. Flavor is all banana at first... Fouls was slight clove flavors which are understated which I appreciate. The bubble gum is definitely there. Just a hint of pepper in the end and I'm going white pepper here. Like a mild hefe which I suppose is appropriate.

I live in hope that someday a Canadian brewery can make a Weizenbock as good as Vitus. A hazy straw beer with plenty of white frothy head. Wheat, banana, cloves and bubblegum are the primary players in the aromatic side of things while the sweet and spicy malt backbone make up the flavour. A well made beer that hies the excess alcohol that comes with a bock.

I picked this beer up from the Barrel Chest in Roanoke, VA. In an attempt to knock off the last 5 styles, I grabbed this as a highly regarded representative of the weizenbock. I'm not a wheat guy but this is quite nice. I noted the color to be a golden straw - based on the style standard, I would've expected it to be a tad darker. All in all, a nice beer. Fruity, zesty, grassy. Lemon throughout.

Pours an insane amount of frothy white head and had a hazy orangey, deep golden appearance. Pretty thick dirty lacing. Aromas of yeast, malts and light spices. Flavours are mainly tropical and citrus fruits, some hints of bananas, yeasty notes as well as breads and mild spices. Average carbonation. Has pretty good retention. Full bodied mouthfeel. Goes down easy for the abv. Good stuff.
