Weissbier

Don’t you just love openeing those caged top bottles? Been waiting a while to drink this baby. Big poof when I released her. Pure clean hefe aroma, just like it should be. Big hypnotizing swirling pour from this unfiltered wheat with gunk on the bottom of the 500 mL bottle. Cloudy very light brown appearance. Large foaming head and this stuff has lots of good tingle in the carbonation. Good clean wheat flavor lacking overspiceness, and I’m glad. Too many wheat beers over do it on the spice. IMHO simpler is better when it comes to wheat beers. At times, it seems to have a little hop bitterness in there, and I really don’t appreciate that in a wheatie. Very nice finish and I’m surprised I’m already at the bottom of the bottle, must have been good. The only thing I didn’t dig about this brew was that small amount of hop bitterness, however, it was very well controlled.

Sadly this is not as impressive as their tasty helles. Orange color, looks good. Lots of lemon in the aroma. Flavor is sweet wheat, but the flavors are not intense enough and there is no complexity and lack of spice.

Bottled (BB 12/2007)
Hazy orange color, off-white creamy head. Slightly sour wheaty nose, some banana. Medium-bodied with foamy mouthfeel. Dry, a bit acidic fruity-banana flavor. Short finish.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized white creamy head. Lacing. Aroma is sour fruits, some wheat and yeast. Flavour is very much the same. Wellbalanced and not too sweet.

Pour is a very cloudy orange with a white head. Aroma is outstanding with lots of grain and citrus. Some banana and vanilla show up. Flavor is much of the same some citrus and clove with a vanilla back bone. A tasty treat from start to finish.

Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown swing top bottle this beer poured a yellow-golden color with a large white head. The aroma was a very nice mix of wheat, orange and lemon. The flavor was sweet, yeast and lightly bitter with undertones of lemon and banana. The mouthfeel was rather thick for a hefeweizen. Solid.

Swingtop bottle. Green apple, banana and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy dark orange-yellow with nice big head. Sour malt, lemon and banana flavor. Decent Hefe - probably better fresh from the tap.

Bügelverschlußflasche: Slightly hazy, big rocky "dirty" head, visible carbonation; distinctive wheaty/yeasty and citrus-fruity nose, also; almost a bit bitter and tart; moderate sweetish flavour; citrus-fruit, again, in the finish, followed by some faint "hoppy" tartness. A refreshing, well made Weizen...........

(swing top bottle) Hazy, orange colour with a big floamy yellow head. Sweet, slightly wheaty and fruity (ripe orange, banana) aroma with light notes of cloves. Light to medium bodied with a medium carbonation. Wheat-, and also a bit barley-malty taste with citrus and banana; slim, slightly sweet, minimal acidic finish with only shy notes of cloves, which I appreciate. Drinkable but surely not outstanding.
