Bottle courtesy of Jonas, many thanks Jonas! Had this at home Attenkirchen, Wednesday 23rd October 2019 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music. Pours gold, hazy, a white bubble rim. Only just realised that this was a Weizen Hell, assumed it was just a Helles. So wheaty characteristics ahoy here, a bit spritzy with light a sour edge, it's ok, it's certainly has a few challenges. Ok.

Bottle (333 ml): Deep golden to light amber coloured, hazy, no head to speak of, wanilla&wood in the sweet fruity nose, mild (tannic) bitterness, x-mas-spices and traces of ALK underneath; moderate to solid sweet flavour, delicate bitterness detectable, full bodied and soft; sweet fruity finish, spices and some bitterness well detectable, warming alcohol in the aftertaste. A pretty vinous Bock, could serve as a pleasant night-cap...

Heller Weizendoppelbock mit 18,1 % Stammwürze und 8,0 % Alk. Etwas zu gute Schaumentwicklung, recht spritzig (Achtung: Ungekühlt und/oder leicht geschüttelt kann es beim Öffnen der Flasche eine böse Überraschung geben). Geruch fruchtig (geht Richtung Pfirsich und Trauben), frisch, leicht nach Sekt. Im Geschmack recht ausgewogen, nur wenig malzig, nicht zu süß, recht (vergoren) fruchtig, leicht säuerlich. Den hohen Alkoholgehalt schmeckt man, fügt sich aber sehr harmonisch ins Gesamtbild und stört den Genuss nicht. Für einen Doppelbock mit so viel Kohlensäure erstaunlich süffig. Gut.

Lovely toffee, licorice and coffeearoma. Sweet and malty flavor with some mango fruitiness, caramel and chichorei. Just a bit thin and sticky.

Bottle. Deep golden color. Cardboard and plums in the aroma. Malty bready, almost vinous flavor with herbal, floral hops. Somewhat disappointing.

Eher herb im Antrunk. Danach könnte gern noch etwas mehr kommen. Wirklich sehr spritzig (vielleicht sogar etwas zu viel Kohlensäure), trotzdem noch ausreichend süffig. Leicht bittere, aber wirklich sehr angenehme Note. Interessant, sympathisch, wohlschmeckend - das kann gerne öfter mal bei mir im Glas sein.
