Ramstein Blonde

Brewed by High Point Brewing Company
Style: German Hefeweizen
Butler, New Jersey USA

Serve in Weizen

Poured ahazy light yellow color with a minimal white head. Aroma of cloves, yeast, lemon, gum, and ginger. Flavor is of light sweet citrus. Some clove. Light to medium body with a spiced finish.

Beautiful, cloudy and dirty glowing gold in color with a perfect creamy white cap over it all. Aroma is a beautiful exhibition - vanilla, cloves, sugar sprinkled bananas, some lemonhead candy casings, spicy pepper and chewy honey. Creamy flavor facade leads into a light fairing yeasty quality. Semi-sugary with cloves and pepper lighting up the body. Mild mannered quaffs bring on a subtly spiced lemon cream and banana pudding flavor. Light-bodied and a great refresher, and as balanced as one could hope for. Finish is a touch thin, but a tiny titillation of cloves, pepper and vanilla cover it up in the end. Big thanks to tpkenned for the bottle!

Hazy orange color, no head. Weird cellery - vegetable nose - not that attracting. Weird kumquat - yeast taste mixture. I didn’t like this at all.

Vegtable nose - not so pleasant, some banana and spice. Hazy pale orange color, low head. Sweet wheat malt with orange notes, banana and some spice. Medium body. Overall, a good simulation of a German wheat, but not up to par. This doesn’t have the same sophistication of a the German wheats.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with minimal head that fades to a thin ring around my glass. Aroma of wheat, apple, yeast, some banana, and a variety of spices. Nice spicy wheat flavor, lots of yeastiness, as well as a strong malt background. Finish is indeed very smooth, balanced between spicy yeast and soft hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is a little blah, very little carbonation, but enough body to make it pleasurable to drink. Major drawback on this one was the noticable lack of head and the low carbonation. I think that I would like to try this on draft when at it’s peak freshness.

I really liked this wheat beer a lot. Outstanding considering it is american made. When fresh- this is almost as good as live oak. Pours a perfect medium gold with a nice tight fluffy white head- fades eventually though. Aroma is a nice balance between cloves, spices, and phenolics with the classic banana aromas, although I wish there were a bit more esters. Flavor is very bready with tons of chewy wheat malt and lots of phenols and esters. Nice full mouthfeel and smooth aftertaste. It’s pretty obvious the brewer has been trained in germany.

Wow, big standard deviation on this one. Bottle from Drafting Room, Exton. Hazy dark straw pour with aroma of hopcit, clove, pear/apple, bready malt. The flavor is hopcity up front, with some pear/apple/banana notes at mid-palate. This one is a bit muddled, but has a farily smooth finish.

Pours copper and cloudy with a thin white head. Smells of oranges and bread. Tastes of oranges, but otherwise watery. The lemony tinges and banana qualities I’m used to in American interpretationsof this style are missing. Definitely drinkable as a session beer, but that’s about it.
