Ayinger Weizen-Bock (Germany)

Product Story

This incredible winter seasonal Beer is a pale (Helles) style Weizen-Bock. This Weisse-Bier is a stronger version of their classic Braü Weisse designed to fortify the Beer lover in the cold winter months. The Weizen-Bock sub-style of is a relatively rare Weizen and Beer drinkers should be aware that this packs a bigger punch (7.1% abv) than their classic Brauweisse. Sip it slow – it's delicious.

Brand Story

Tasting Note

Deep, golden color with a dense haze and generous white head that lasts for the entire Beer. The nose reveals classic hefe-weizen notes with a dense fruit and spice driven core, fresh baked bread, and accents of tropical fruit. The palate echoes the nose delivering richness with ideal balance, vibrancy, and length. Notes of citrus, clove, ginger, and toasted grain mingle seamlessly. This is a big Beer but it is also perfectly balanced and amazingly refreshing considering its weight.

How to Serve

Serve chilled, but not too cold, in a classic Bavarian Weizen glass. Skip the fruit. Enjoy with smoked cheese and sausages.

Price: $ 4.99
