Gosh, I think this is a great review. It's coincidental, but I was having a 500 ml. Vitus while watching this. I have been a fan of Weihenstephaner Vitus for over 40 years, and given its abv, one half-liter bottle is all I ever have, even though my store of choice also carries six-packs of 330 ml. bottles. To me, Vitus is THE most outstanding beer in the world, irrespective of style. Taste, balance and mouthfeel - I can't think of any ale, or beer (the difference being simply utilization of top-fermented vs. bottom-fermented yeasts - even a weizenbock is an ale; it doesn't matter whether or not it is lagered, or aged) I think Weihenstephaner Vitus reigns supreme.

Thanks for the kind words, John! Vitus is one of my favorite German beers, and probably my favorite Weizenbock. I think Weihenstephaner is just a super brewery. Everything I've had from them has been delightful over the years. Both of the beers I reviewed here are just exceptional, and I could drink them over and over again. Glad to hear that you love this one and it's your favorite beer. I have a few friends who also agree with your assessment. Cheers, man!

@@averagejoe716 Hello Joe, and thanks for replying. Vitus is not my favorite beer; I only think it is an exceptional beer (Yes, an ale). What I am really enjoying during September is Paulaner Oktoberfest ... I like lagers very much, and Paulaner brews a very good Festbier. Prost!

Gotcha. Just thought since you spoke so highly about it, that it was your favorite. I appreciate the information, BTW! I was under the assumption that all bocks were lagers, but I just read up a bit more on the style, and you are 100% correct. I don't pretend to know everything, so I truly appreciate when folks drop knowledge on me. I'm just a regular dude who likes to talk -- a lot -- about beer, haha! I always thought a Weizenbock was similar to a Doppelbock, but just with the majority of the malt being wheat. The more you know! Once again, thanks for the info!

Great Review !! Hands down The Heffeweissbier is my favorite Beer !! My local Total wine sells out Fast I have been lucky to grab a 6 or a 12 whenever I’m there and maybe a few pints lol however just yesterday I was out of luck and I decided to buy the VITUS and wow I love that as well !! Will Never Ever settle for the routine 7/11 supermarket selections 😂 though in a pinch I’d grab some Sam Adams 76 or octoberfest only in a pinch

Nice, Jason! Yeah, Weihenstephaner makes some great beer, and both of these are two of my favorite from them. They don't sell out around here, but that just means more for me, haha! Yeah, the supermarket selections have gotten better, but classic German beer is still hard to beat. Thanks for the comment, man! Cheers!

I used to buy the Vitus and the Korbinian by the case (20) bottles per for I think $45. Those were my daily drinkers and then I started to really enjoy IPA’s and I just sort of forgot about them. It’s a shame, I really need to get back to drinking these again. Great reviews! Cheers 🍻

For sure, Jeff. There are so many beers we forget about because the craft beer scene domestically has taken off. Beers like this should be cherished and appreciated, though. Can't forget about the classic. Plus, that price point is AMAZING! Thanks, buddy! Cheers!

VITUS is one of my top 3. The really only American beer i buy is Sam Adams. Other than that, i only drink German brew and their beer is dangerously good. Lol you can even see how its slightly hitting you in tbe vid.

It's definitely a phenomenal beer. I think the Doppelbock and Weizenbock styles are my favorite from Germany. Just so complex and delicious. Cheers, Josh!

I adore the Vitus, and the Hefeweissbier is also delicious, in my booklet.
