Since Saint Joseph’s Day on 19 March 1993, Andechs Weissbier Hell has found many new friends. Untreated and bottled in its natural state of yeasty turbidity, this is a top fermented beer for the epicure.

Its light honey colour makes it an immediate eyecatcher. Then there’s the opalescence and fine structure of the yeast turbidity. At the same time, the creamy, fine pored head invites you to get to know this light Weissbier from the Holy Mountain. You’ll need two takes to enjoy the aromas to the full.

First, distinctive fruity aromas like banana and honeydew melon come to the fore, followed by fine cloves. Andechser Weissbier Hell is a very tangy, refreshing treat with the conviction of a full, soft body. It concludes on a finely balanced interplay of light sweet honey and a delicate acidity with undertones of bitter hoppiness that quickly subside into a harmonious aftertaste.

A Weissbier that embodies a slice of the Andechs lifestyle: finely yeasty, tangy, and sparkling, it refreshes and renews the thirst for more (original extract: 12.5%; abv: 5.5%).

Bottle at home. Pours hazy golden with big white head. Aroma of bananas, malt. Tastes slightly sweet with little bitterness. Medium bodied, highly carbonated.

I came home from Susan’s in Santa Fe with this 500 ml bottle of Andechser Hell. The lid is off and I pour into a handled beer glass. The appearance is a hazy yellow-orange body with a fluffy, persistent head of solid white foam. It has a fruity and spicy scent. A taste, not bad. Orange peel, coriander, clove, white bread and water. Crisp with just a touch of bitterness. The colder the better I would think, a good summer drink.

On draft at the Kloster, First Bier in gastronomy since last summer, drunk with a schweinsbraten. Banana yeasty, lightly sweet, creamy, smooth with a hint of hop bitterness. The gold standard, if you don't like this you must hate Weißbier. Also, the Krustenbraten is about the best ever, great cracklin.

A bit orangey yellow, some carbonation, not much head. Fairly light, lots of banana, sweet, smooth, a bit spicy. Very nice.

Bottle from Buckfast Abbey Monastic Shop, Buckfastleigh. Golden well carbonated weizen with soft banana evident in both aroma and taste but unfortunately coming across as quite bland in the latter.
