German Ales: Weizenbock
Notes: These beers are made with at least 50 percent wheat malt. They are often roused during pouring, and when yeast is present, they will have a yeasty flavor and a fuller mouthfeel.
- Color: Gold to very dark
- Clarity: If served with yeast, appearance may be very cloudy.
- Malt Profile: Medium malty sweetness should be present. If dark, a mild roast malt character should emerge in the flavor and, to a lesser degree, in the aroma.
- Hop Profile: Not present
- Bitterness: Low
- Fermentation: Balanced, clove-like phenolic and fruity ester banana notes produce a well-rounded flavor and aroma. Diacetyl should not be present. Carbonation should be high.
