Description
Wasserhund Brewing Company, meaning "water dog" in German, was born from a love of the beach, dogs, and German beer. We aspire to bring the German beer culture to Virginia Beach in the best way... by brewing the highest quality ales and lagers and providing the environment to enjoy them with family, friends, and just good company. We also match our beer with artisan pizza made to order in our brick oven. Or you can order beer sausages and add some sauerkraut for a real German experience. Call it whatever you want... we call it German style brewing with a Beach kick. Really, it's great beer and great times. Prost!

7.1/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Deep, fairly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a thick, two to three centimetre tall, very soapy off-white head that fades pretty quickly and shows a nice bright brown glow underneath. Aroma of pungent yeast, bread, light oranges, coriander seed and bubble gum with a distinct ester scent in the nose from the German yeast here. Medium-bodied; Very rich, but easy-going wheat note with a lot of residual yeast and breadiness here along with the coriander seed and especially curacao and full oranges that come through here and bring out more of a fruity and sugary quality, noticeable a bit more at the end. Aftertaste shows a nice bready quality, but the wheat and especially the oranges come out with a nice layer of sweetness above the effervescence and strong carbonation here. Overall, a fairly subdued, easy-going-ish beer with a lot of the good qualities of a german hef with a little bit of the local brewpub quality of soapy notes, mild flavours and nothing too overt or pungent, which works out great for the style. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Wegman's in Virginia Beach (VA Beach Boulevard), Virginia on 13-June-2021 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 11-November-2021 in honor of Veteran's Day here in the capital.

Can pour at Wasserhund. Poured a slightly hazy dark orange color with a small white head. Aroma was big tart fruit. Pineapple, tropical fruit. Juicy. Sour, but not too acidic, despite the description. Really pleasant stuff.
