Brewer's Advent Day 24: Ladenburger Weizenbock Hell

A special specialty awaits us on this last day of the beer advent. We treat ourselves to a very fine and multiple award-winning beer specialty. Ladenburger Weizenbock brightens up the day. Merry Christmas! 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"! We hope you enjoyed these fine beers from Germany. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

They definitely saved the best for last. Pours with a nice, delicate head. Hazy, copper color. Wonderful banana aroma and a smooth finish. At 7.4% ABV, this one could sneak up on you if you had several on a warm summer day. Cheers everyone! Hope you enjoyed your beer calendar and had a happy holiday. See you next year!

Merry Christmas. Wonderful December of beer drinking as well. I did not have the beer posted. I received another beer called Grantler Hell. Was still good.

Got the calendar as a gift and it made my December a lot cooler. Any excuse to drink beer every day is a good one. My one request is to make sure it’s packaged correctly. Seems like the bulk of drinkers in the comments including me, got different beers than what was listed. They were all good beers but it makes more sense if it follows the order that is described. Still, either way, I enjoyed them all! As a gag, there should be a 25th beer that’s a 40oz. Just a thought!

I like all the lagers and pilsners. I get plenty of dark beers and IPAs at the many craft breweries around me in the US. What I start to miss are classic German lagers. So I was very happy with this selection.
