(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a fluffy, but unstable foamy white head. Slightly dusty and sweet grainy aroma with hay and a touch of grassy hops. Bittersweet flavour, malty taste with a initially herbal, later grassy hops in the background; medium to light bodied with a soft carbonation; dry and slightly grainy and bitter hoppy finish. Ok.

Golden colour. White head that disappears quickly. Sweet aroma with hints of malt and grass. Malty and sweet flavor with some hoppy finish. Has some bitterness in the aftertaste.

Rererated , fresh from tap, fresh grassy again, good balance quaffable. Re-rate: Sulphur-sweet aroma, golden, collapsing head. Sugary malt bas, balanced towards the maty side. Medium to light body. Quick finish. Old Rating: 7 3 6 3 11 Nice bitter whiff of hops in the nose. Pale golden, lowish carbonation, low but stable head. Malt in the front of the mouth, bitterhops in the back, but nothing in the middle - balance is not bad but lacks substance. Relatively lightbodied, hay aftertaste.

Never mind the commercial brawn. More important is this: Weiss-Gold is NOT a wheatbeer (Weissbier). "Weiss" here is the familyname of the brewer! This is a bottom-fermented beer, and a very old one, at that, launched in 1905 and revamped in 1950. Clear pale-golden, white head, quickly reduced to white rim. Nose is very grainy, green lunaria aroma as well as white wine-like aroma. Quite dry - herbal and grassy hopstaste (maybe not surprising from an area, cultivating more wine than brewing beer). Malt is there retronasal, where it provides for a mild-sweetish underbuild for the delicate hopflavours. It is brewed with fully local ingredients, so if I say Tettnang, I'm not guessing anymore. Better bodied than average pilseners. Nice pilsener. Though why it ought to be a class of its own?
