The Moon Under Water Pub & Brewery out of Victoria have 4 standard beer in their lineup. One of these 4 beer is the “The Victorious Weizenbock” a strong, dark wheat beer. While most Bock beer are lagers a Weizen Bock is always an Ale. The Weizen Bock pours a deep reddish brown colour with a tan head. The aroma consists of sweet fruits such as apricots, bananas and prunes with a wheat base. The flavour was of dark fruits such as prunes with bananas and apricots as well as caramel, nuts and possibly a hint of sour. The alcohol content of this brew is a strong 8.2%. This is a very tasty beer but this style of beer will be quite different for many people.
Commercial Description: “Vic-to-ri-ous: envincing moral harmony or a sense of fulfillment. Our pride and joy. Canadian wheat, German Munich and a little chocolate malt combine into on open-fermented party. Fruity New Zealand hops compliment the melanoidins, spicy clove-like phenols and banana esters. Rouse the yeast before serving or risk offending the brewing Gods.”
Alright! I was hoping you’d like this one. It took me awhile to get a fair sampling of it and I really enjoyed it. Have you seen their limited release Maibock yet?
I have had a bomber of it and a sample at the pub. Great stuff. I have not yet seen the new seasonal though
