Beer-a-Day #338 Victory Moonglow Weizenbock

This dark amber wheat beer features fruity and spicy aromas galore.  Significant strength underlies the pleasant citric appeal of this bock beer. Redolent with the flavors of harvest fruit, Moonglow typifies the traditional weizenbock-style so thoroughly enjoyed throughout Bavaria. Left unfiltered, its unique yeast strain gives Moonglow a radiance all its own.

Deep amber with a couple fingers’ worth of head. Lots of fruit and spice in the aroma. Full of flavor, with yeast, malt, and spice.

Heavy Seas "Hang Ten" Weizen DopplebockBeer-a-Day #58

I generally like Clipper City‘s offerings. That they’re local appeals to me as well.

This is an odd one. Not just a weizenbock, but a weizen dopplebock. 10% ABV, but it’s a summer seasonal.

Deep amber to brown; little head. Lots of fruit in the aroma—melon, banana, bubblegum—and a whole lot of that malty goodness you find in a doppelbock. It’s thick, too, like liquid sourdough bread.

Seems too heavy for the summer, but it’s got something going for it. Very interesting.
