Ayinger Weizenbock (50cl, 7.1%)

Ayinger Weizenbock is a top-fermented, unfiltered Bavarian wheat bock beer at 7.1% ABV, available in a 500ml bottle. Brauerei Aying, established in 1878 in Aying, Bavaria, brews it using four different malts, then top-ferments and leaves it unfiltered. With an original gravity of 16.5° Plato, it carries more malt depth than a standard hefeweizen. The aroma leads with ripe banana, clove and white pepper, with honeyed bread dough beneath. The palate brings soft wheat and banana, clove, yeast phenolics, sweet orange, light caramel and bready spice. The finish is medium-long, with tropical fruit, banana chips and lingering clove.
