Kigen Kawaba Snow Weizen

Also known as “Weissbock,” this German wheat beer (Weizen bier/Weissbier) is brewed with Bavarian Wheat or Hefeweizen ale yeast, yet it’s stronger in alcohol and flavor character than a standard Hefeweizen or Dunkelweizen and exhibits abundant malt sweetness balanced by clove spiciness and fruity-banana esters. Translated as “wheat-strong,” Weizenbock shouldn’t be confused with Bock, the German strong lager. Weizenbock can be pale or dark in color, with darker versions often exhibiting dark malt character, including caramel, chocolate or roasty notes.
