Weihenstephan - Weihenstephaner Vitus

Pre-Order: Shipping Mid-November
 
A magnificent example of traditional Bavarian brewing from the legendary Weihenstephaner Brewery, widely recognised as the world's oldest continuously operating brewery, Vitus is an exceptionally smooth, full-bodied Weizenbock that combines the richness of a strong German Bock with the wonderfully fruity and spicy character of a classic wheat beer.
 
Pouring a beautiful hazy golden colour with a magnificent, creamy white head, this award-winning strong wheat beer delivers enticing aromas of ripe banana, dried apricots, fresh citrus and delicate clove spice. Extended maturation creates a remarkably rounded character, allowing its complex flavours to develop into a beautifully harmonious drinking experience.
 
On the palate, luscious notes of ripe banana, sweet stone fruits and freshly baked bread mingle with distinctive clove spice and gentle citrus freshness. A rich wheat and barley malt backbone provides satisfying depth, while Hallertauer Herkules and Hallertauer Perle hops contribute a restrained bitterness that perfectly balances the beer's natural sweetness.
 
Full-bodied yet wonderfully effervescent, Vitus finishes smooth and refreshing, with lingering fruity notes, subtle spice and a gentle alcoholic warmth. Despite its impressive 7.7% ABV, it remains remarkably drinkable. A truly exceptional Bavarian wheat beer and a superb companion to hearty German dishes, roasted meats and mature cheeses.
