This is how I found your channel, from the first review many years ago. This beer is in a class of it's own, and deserves to be reviewed again for the thousands of new subscribers you have obtained. While there are many weiss beers, the Vitus has a strong and bold flavor that will always stand the test of time and remain enjoyable. Keep rockin' the long hair! Cheers.

Vitus and Aventinus shares the gold medal in wheat beer for me!

You have a £10 in your pocket and are in Sainsbury’s -5 bottles of 500ml weihebstephaner or 12 300ml cat piss bottles of bud?! People never cease to amaze me

Here in Midwest America, one 500ml bottle costs 5 USD! Still absolutely worth it though. My state (Indiana) has fairly strong Germanic roots, so German beers aren’t too hard to come by luckily. Best beers in the world. My favorite is Paulaner’s Hefeweizen

Simon is equivalent to Jesus.

Vitus is truly a great beer. Three of my top beers are from Germany, and two of those are brewed by Weihenstephan (Hefeweissbier and Vitus) and the third is Spaten Premium Lager. Germany has a tremendous beer-making tradition with none of that carbonated grapefruit juice masquerading as beer nonsense you get in American Craft beer.

I LOVE SPATEN - tastes like liquid digestive biscuits! :)

Vitus is one of my old-time favorites. I treat myself with a 500ml bottle every couple of months or so. It never disappoints.

I once asked Simon in the Stone Crowe Virtual Pub what his favorite German beer was and this is the beer he said.

I went to the Weihenstephan Brewery once and remember sitting in their biergarten drinking Korbinian

Bloody hell! Talk about the Cosmic Unconsciousness! I literally bought two bottles of this last week. Amazing beer! And I severely recommend going to the actual brewery near Munich, that was an abbey and now a brewery and a university.. Try their breakfast beers! ❤️🙂 And that is a thousand years of beer craft in a bottle..

First time we drank this Beer was in Tucson Arizona...yes believe it or not in the middle of the Sonora Desert...there are about $5 for 1/2 Liter bottle.....Arab grocery store that stocks many Euro food products sells ice cold 1/2 Liter ( called a Tall Boy) for $3.50 ...the World 🌎 best beer 🍺

OMG That Barnet is so wrong😂

Absolutely amazing. The Hefeweissbier is another one on the same level. They are both the best.

I am always amazed what the Germans can do with the Reinheitsgebot. It blows my mind how many flavors they can create without crazy additives.

yeah if i remember correctly, reinheitsgebot came about to prohibit wheat specifically because brewers were hogging it all and there wasn't enough for people to make bread...but the king allowed wheat for a brewery or two so he could get his fix lol

I am drinking one of these now. I was thinking, this beer is bloody incredible. I searched KZread to see what you thought about it, what a great beer!…Sam✌️

I've had that many times. All their beers are excellent.

Such a glowing review for the Vitus that I have to try this one asap. I used to drink Maisel`s weissbier on draft at The Wellington in B`ham which I couldn`t imagine could be bettered....what a gorgeous beer for a summer thirst quencher, perhaps this Weihenstephaner is the one to do it. Great review which has made my mouth water, thanks & cheers!

Love your reviews and agree with your opinion and your passion..it's been a while since I've had a Vitus as they are a little on the expensive side but I remember them very fondly so I'm definitely going to purchase one very soon.

A 'hair-down-moment' for the best beer in the world!!

Currently drinking it. Such a wonderful balance between bitterness, citrussy goodness and sweetness. A lot of tartness on the palate - orange and lemon hard candy. Brings to mind bitter Seville orange marmalade too. Of course, there's the standard cloves and banana peel thing going on too. Pretty fantastic stuff.

That looks amazing, I will definitely check that out. Cheers.

I think Sainsbury's sell this, I bought a bottle at Monmouth market though and have to say it is such a great beer.❤

I picked this up today from “the bottle shop” in penarth si. I have to agree it is one of the finest weissbier I have ever had. Outstanding!

Thanks for your review. We do get it in Texas. Will try this one.

Bought some a few days ago at our local supermarket (OK supermarket, Kanazawa, Yokohama) for our homestyle Oktoberfest party next weekend, for not a lot of money - like two quid a bottle, along with a jar of sauerkraut, sausage and mustard. Really looking forward to next weekend now. Cheers! :)

I've had the original a few times with the blue label- pretty nice, when you're in the mood for something with a big flavour.

I fuckin love vitus but I can never get it fresh enough. You look straight out of 1976 with that hair haha

Simon, you could do a battle between the various Bavarian weissen bock beers. For what it's worth, I like Erdinger's best. You also have that Aventinus stuff

Sounds amazing, ordered!

I’m very lucky I live in Downham Market Norfolk. I live about 20 mins from beers of Europe if that. So I fill my trolley with all that kind of beer. Amazing place. And that is a amazing beer your right.

I had a weihenstephaner in the bankers cat in leeds (thornbridge brewery pub) about 5.5% can't remember if it was a waissbier but it was really good and only £5 a pint if I remember right so need a bottle of this. Recommend a drink in The Bankers Cat if you are round leeds city centre simon 👍

This is the best beer review ever, that must have been his second one. I love weizenbier & wit beers so I'll have to find this one. My favourite so far is Tripel Karmeliet

Agreed. And the fact that you can get it for the fraction of the price of other craft beers just makes it that much better. Amazing beer.

Weissbier has to be my biggest guilty pleasure, I've got to give this one a definite go 🍻

Good God it's Frank Gallagher !!

Looks ace, just ordered some.

I'm sold. Will pick some up tomorrow! 🍻 Curiosity is forcing me to buy it! 🍻

weihenstephaner could take Europe if they wanted to, their pils/lagers are better than other countries, all of them. But they can't be arsed. If you go to Germany and to some beer centers (not pubs), you can buy a crate of a weihenstepher beer for about 20 quid, and all bottles are half a litre. It's just perfect. But the experience is really for Germany. Which is why I drive over the border from time to time :D

I am drinking my 2nd bottle right now of Vitus(tried the it for the first time some months ago,love it.I usually only drink once a in while,Stella Artois,Asahi,Sapporro and now Vitus will be in my circle of once in a while drink an alcoholic beverage.

one of the best Germans for me!

This beer is a planet treasure.There is no beer like this. Almost always have one.I drunk one on Saturday and the next will be in the middle of the week which I will combine it with one of the greatest movies''Druk'' or ''drunk''.

Had that the other day in my local brewhouse and kitchen 👌

Can you re-review the whole line up of these beers again please mate. I remember a really hoppy flavoured one with a green label that was incredible when I first drank it about 10 years ago following your review.

One of my top 5 favorite beers I’ve ever had. It’s incredible.

Funny. I'm sitting here drinking a Budvar and thinking of opening my last Vitus in the fridge. Nice shirt!

Love watching your reviews Simon please shave your hair to a number 1 through 4,all im looking at is your hair. Been there done that myself mind you,so its not hate in any way shape or form its just you look a million times better with short hair.

On the bottle it said" WEIZENBOCK" ,which is Wheat not White . Strong wheat beer .

I had two now , great and $ 18.90 for a six pack of 11.2 onz . I include this in my top ten. Pilsner Urquell still my # 1.

I love this beer, the Korbinian is also delicious. 😋

I agree! Both are incredible!

It is my absolutely favorite beer i have ever drank. Not talking about their Weißbier, not talking about their Lager beer... im talking about "Vitus". I have never drank a more refreshing and better tasting summer beer in my life. It is just amazing. But.. it is REALLY hard to find. Even in Munich you can't buy it anywhere almost.. PS: I forgot to mention i drank A LOT of different high quality beers around the world. Not an alcoholic though :D

Have to try again, I thought it was concentrated and a bit sweet, still enjoyed. Have to try during Winter.

Genuinely the first beer Ive ever liked its so good always a classic

Used to get Weihenstephaner Vitus in the Detroit area for about 10 bucks a six pack in 2020.

These beers make you glad to be alive. So good.

I remember buying bottles of that for only €6 in a Cork pub that didn't know you could charge a lot more. Two of those with a whiskey and you're set.

Do any supermarkets stock this please? 😮 I need to try it!

My local big Sainsbury’s does not sell this Vitus. 😢. BOE are selling them for over £4 a bottle. 😢😢 And soon sell out as soon as it becomes available.

Absolutely love your honest reviews. This actually made me go buy Weihenstephaner to compare to franziskaner which I favorite because of your earlier review of that. It's personal, but I do enjoy the franzsikaner more. It has a more banana fruity and spicy taste to my likings. Keep up the great work matey, greetings from the Netherlands and Poland.

For me Franzi tastes like lighter and less alcohol buddy of Vitus. Very similar complexity and taste profile. Same yeast?

Had a pint of this a few hours ago (£6)... good beer but far too sweet towards the end. 7/10

Yup ! It's a banger of a beer! Cheers!

Went to order a bottle. Now out of stock!

7.7% ha girls beer , joking . Some that strength are too strong but my fav of all time is , Gouden Carolus Christmas ale , 10.5% . But varies from year to year so be careful . First two years I tried were sublime then next two seemed like sugar water .

I get my Lowenbrau from Beers of Europe 🍻

I agree… this is one of the best beers you’ll ever have!

I like their Pilsner much more.

It's out of stock right now. 😭😭😭😭😭

maybe my favourite beer cheers!
