Ayinger Bräu-Weisse

From a bottle pours a slightly hazy light amber color with lots of fluffy head. Very light flavor not at all overpowering, very refreshing.

Forse dovrei fare un secondo assaggio, ma non mi ha convinto proprio per niente; poco, poco, poco, poco, poco, e un retrogusto paludoso che mi ha lasciato decisamente perplesso. Bevuta al Black Sheep a Brescia, pagata 4.50; non sapevo che mi avrebbero portato perché nella lista c’era scritto solo Weisse.

This is a superb hefe! Absolutely perfect for the blazing summer days. Had on draught at Blues BBQ in Charleston, WV. Beautiful cloudy opaque deep straw pour. It has a 3-finger head that lasts for great retention and leaves frothy lace. Sweet banana, some vanilla and slight clove to the nose. There are mounds of banana and wheat flavors, with the finish really drawing in strong cloves. The wheat, fruit and spice integration is almost unparalleled. The carbonation level mixes with a silky mouthfeel to bring a perfectly contrasting zest to the palate. For the dog days of summer, this may be one of the world’s best German hefe’s. (Formerly, this was my favorite style, and I’ve certainly had my share of them. This offering is "par excellence".) Prost!

Very refreshing on a hot summer day! I really enjoyed this beer. A nice smell and fruity flavor.

Probably the best HW I’ve had so far. Lot of fruit and even vanilla yet not too sweet. Light, crisp, complex, great balance, soft water. outstanding. Classic summer session brew.

500ml vom fass at Hotel Schlierbergalm. Hazy orange body. Thin, white foamy head. Fresh fruity aroma. Yeast up front followed by a touch of cloves and banana. Moderate to thin body. Very easy to drink. Thirst quenching after a up mountain walk (19.06.2007).

Bubble gum, banana, lemon bouquet. Cloudy, dingy yellow/white pour, with a very thick creamy white head, great lacing. Thin and watery mouthfeel. Banana and cream flavor. Weak clove finish. Clean, pure, and all that a hefe should be.

on tap at mews tavern 7/5/07. pours a golden orange color with a nice one finger head. smells of wheat, lemons, and spicy grasses. taste is on the mild side, some banana like sweetness, some yeast and spices. nice creamy feel, well done beer for the summer.
