Kapuziner Weissbier

Bottle. Nice big head with good duration. Color is hazy amber. Aroma is rich with wheat malt and banana. Taste is yeast, malt and banana with notes of citrus.

500 ml bottle poured a cloudy amber with a small lasting white head. Aromas of wheat, yeast, light fruitiness and a faint hint of spice. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of wheat, yeast, light fruitiness and a hint of clove with a crisp clean finish.

Bottiglia da 50cl comprata all’Unes di Arquata Scrivia: colore oro carico torbidissimo, schiuma abbondante; now THAT is the proper appearance of a German hefeweizen. Ora parlo di nuovo in italiano; aroma pronunziato di banana, lievito e un poco di pepato; sapore pieno molto dolce ma curiosamente abbastanza bilanciato non dal luppolo ma dall’acido del lievito, signore del gusto di questa romantica hefe. Corpo piacevolmente dissetante e rinfrescante, ma non troppo acquoso. Proprio buona, insomma; tra le supermercatose una delle preferite. ENGLISH TEXT HERE 50cl bottle bought at the Unes supermarket in Arquata Scrivia: color is deep cloudy gold, huge head; now THAT is the proper appearance of a German hefeweizen. Aroma is tasty bananas, yeast and a little pepper; flavor is full and very sweet but well balanced by the sourness of the yeast more than by the bitterness of the hops. Yeasts rule this romantic hefe. Body is refreshing, but not too watery; very good, one of the supermarket weizens I prefer.

I would like to rerate this beer.

500ml bottle, pours a cloudy golden straw color, aroma of yeast, banana, bread, citrus, taste is about the same, some lemon. the finish is off though, something about it doesn’t make it appealing.

50 cl bottle poured into my cool-as-hell Paulaner Weizen glass. Cloudy amber/orange color with a billowy moussy head. Aromas of banana, hay, bread, pear, citrus and dusty hops. Basic flavor of off- sweet quickbread malts with some lemony tartness throughout, as well as some grassy hops. However, the overall underlying flavor seems old and stale, with some salty/brothy vegemite notes coming through. Very disappointing. Could be an old bottle maybe.

Hazy peach hue under a tall crown of white cream. Candied bananas are countered by muted clove and black pepper; on the other side, slightly sulphurous with an almost lactic tang. Initially sweet and sour, building lemon acidity, then a wet and tangy finish full of oily citrus zest. Dull, muted, feeling in the mouth with a chalky texture and fat carbonation on a lighter body.

Falls a bit short by lacking the big nose, bright flavours and refreshing mouthfeel that makes weißbier such fun.

50 cl bottle, best before 04 January 2009.

Hazy yellow-orange body with a huge, creamy white head. There’s a bit of the requisite bananas and cloves in the aroma, but there’s also a lot of...egg? Not in an entirely disgusting sulphurous way, just...like egg noodles, or a bread made with lots of eggs. So yeah, so some bread as well. And that’s really pretty much it for the aroma, pathetic. The flavour betrays an egg-based protein shake flavour that’s not completely pleasant. There’s a light acidity throughout, but nothing quenching or refreshing. The finish holds on to that eggy flavour for far too long. Light to medium bodied with a very watery texture and massive carbonation. Just...entirely not what a hefe should be, or any beer for that matter. 50cl can, Duvel tulip, bbe 09/07/08.

500 ml bottle. Pours cloudy orange – gold with a nice white head. Aroma is banana and bubblegum and yeast. Flavor is fairly strong tropical fruit and wheat. Yeasty and tingly from soda-like carbonation. Drys out on the finish. Tart citrus and heavy malts balance well. A very good hefe. Refresing and enjoyable.
