Style: Weizenbock

• Though sometimes referred to as wheat Doppelbocks, Weizenbocks are not all that closely related to actual Bock beers. Weizenbocks are ales while Bock beers are lagers. The use of ale yeast is important to creating the fruity flavors that are characteristic of this style, while lager yeast are used in Bock beers to create cleaner, less fruity flavors. The term bock or Doppelbock in the context of these beers is a reference to their alcoholic strength.
