Brewer's Advent Day #12: Ladenburger Weizenbock Hell

It's incredible how many breweries in Germany can look back on a long, long history. Ladenburg Brewery is one of them. Beer has been brewed in the small village of Neuler for over 225 years. The bird in the brewery's coat of arms is an eagle. It reminds us that the brewery used to be called Adlerbräu (Eagle Brewery). Around the year 1910 Max Ladenburger married the brewer's daughter Mathilde and renamed the "Eagle Brewery" to Ladenburger Brewery.

Our today's beer, the Ladenburger Weizenbock, is truly fantastic and has won several awards. Gold and silver at the World Beer Cup and three gold and one silver award at the European Beer Star.

Golden color, dense turbidity, stable and creamy foam. The smell is fruity, reminiscent of banana. On the palate, full-bodied and creamy with well-integrated carbonation. The banana also dominates the taste, well combined with light citrus freshness and some clove. Be careful: The high alcohol content is well hidden!

Nice beer. Good taste but maltier than your typical weiss bier. A bit dangerous too in that it goes down very easy, but weighs in at over 7% abv. I could see this sneaking up on you if had a six-pack or so. Cheers!

This beer surprised me a bit. I watched the video before drinking, so I had some idea what to expect, but this reminds me of a Belgian Golden Ale. Robust, sweet aromas of banana and wheat. A bit cloudy and pale color, unlike many Bock beers. Full flavored, sweet and delightful on the tongue.

Great color. Not overly clove or banana. I like that it is not having a sweet finish. Enjoyable.

Bold flavor this time. Am I nuts or is there a banana taste to this? I'm a fan :)

Awesome beer. So surprised by how drinkable this is given the high alcohol content. I really enjoyed this and loved learning about how the banana scent and taste is achieved.
