Weihenstephaner Vitus

Weihenstephaner Vitus is a weizenbock from Germany’s Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan. Weihenstephan was founded in 1040, and they claim to be the World’s Oldest Brewery. Weihenstephaner Vitus is one of their flagship beers, and for good reason. This is one of the best wheat beers I’ve ever had. It has a rich banana aroma complimented by citric, coriander, and spice notes that tantalize your nose. It tastes like it smells. I get hints of banana, cloves, citrus, wheat, coriander, and sweetness. It has a 7.7% ABV, which is higher than I expected. You can’t even taste the alcohol. This is a very satisfying beer, perfect for cold December nights like this one. I would get it again, but I need to learn how to pronounce it first.
