Unibroue makes what I would say is easily the best weizen I've ever had. I'm glad I finally found a place that sells this.. I wish I had found it sooner. How they make the weizen-y flavors so smooth and yet pronounced is beyond me... the phenols flavors aren't sharp at all. I also don't know how they can make the beer 9% abv and yet not have an alcoholic taste when the the beer is neither hoppy nor dark and malty.
I know most of you have tried it but if you haven't then all I can say is you owe it to yourself. If you're not sure if you like weizens then this is definitely a good place to start. Anyone have a clone recipe?
edit: I should say that the beer is not listed as a weizen - it's a belgian strong ale, probably because of the alcohol content. But it sure tastes like any other weizen. Better than Tucher by a long shot. Of course I haven't been drinking weizens for very long so I may be way off base describing the flavors as very reminiscent of a hefe.. anyhow it's great beer, of this I am certain.
