Best Of Beer Camp: Weizenbock - Beer Camp #37
Thanks to OKComputer for pouring this one for me. Poured into straight pint glass. Poured a cloudy, hazy, golden yellow color with just a thin cap of whit head that had no retention or lacing. The aroma was typically good for the style, earthy wheat, some banana and clove, a hint of yeasty spice. On the tongue, all those aspects were magnified, the wheat fuller and sharper, the yeasty spice sharper and crisper, the banana and clove more noticeable without being over powering. The body was typically full and smooth, without being heavy or filling. Drinkability was excellent, this is a 7% brew you could drink all afternoon and enjoy every sip without getting bored. This style isn't meant to age, but we split a year+ old bottle of Vitus after this for comparison, and the SN was better, due to freshness. Overall, a very good brew that I hope SN puts into their yearly rotation. This beer isn't Vitus, the mighty V, fresh, is clearly better. That said, this beer is totally worth your time.
