Ayinger - Weizen Bock

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Tastes like a strong hefeweizen. Not my favorite weizenbock.

Lagunitas - Our Own Bavarian Styled Doppel Weizen

Hmm. It has a really strange finish for the style. Its mainly just really sweet, without a lot of banana or dark fruity flavors. Almost more citrusy. Its an okay brew, but Aventinus is the same exact price. Pass.

On the lighter side (color wise) of a weizenbock (vs. an Aventinus). Nice fruity flavor, with banana and some clove. Good brew. Mandy liked it as well.

Sierra Nevada - Beer Camp #37 - Weizenbock

A lot more banana flavor maybe than a standard weizenboch. Its pretty easy drinking though.


Bonus Mandy Thoughts:
It tastes like a belgian, wheaty beer.

Lesson from this beer: If I am about the buy a weizenbock, if it is not named "Aventinus", put it down and instead buy an Aventinus.

It was enjoyable, but its fairly alcoholic, which overpowers most of the fruity esters that are present.

Great name.

Hmm. This is slightly... peppery? Cloves? Something like that.

Not bad, but Aventinus is still much more enjoyable.

Schneider Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock

Interesting.

Sort of like a thick heavy Aventinus. Still tasty, with lots of dark fruit taste. I think I prefer the normal Aventinus though.

Schneider Aventinus 2007

This was aged in a historic ice cellar. Or so the label told me.

Pretty good. Maybe its a little muted compared to the fresh version? Still highly recommended.

A lot lighter (in color) than either the Aventinus or Moonglow. Almost reminds me more of a belgian ale than a german (inspired/collaboration) brew. More lemon hop flavor than the weird banana/raisin flavor from a weizenbock.

Pretty good. I imagine it would be better if it was fresher. I found the bottle on the bottom rack at the store covered in dust.

Schneider Aventinus Weizen Bock

I can't believe I hadn't had weizenbocks before a few months ago. I love this and the Victory Moonglow.

Some banana and dark fruit flavors. Slightly boozy. Just awesome. Would buy again.

Victory Moonglow

Awesome beer. Slightly sweet, with a hint of banana and dark fruit.
