4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
On tap at Roppelts Keller, Stiebarlimach. Apparently this is Rittmayer Weizen, but hey. Excellent. I love the glass, I love how this brewery is in a tiny village and produces 2 brilliant beers. Aroma of peach and banana but a creamy tropical banana almost as intense as dried banana. Mouthfeel in perfect. Full but it’s still light and agile. Finish is even better. A mix of malt, hops and tropical fruit with banana. I doubt I’ve had a better weisse. I’ve had 2 mouthfuls and I love it already. Carbonation is perfect, it’s there to add crispness, but not too gassy. It has a sparkle in the background I’ve never had before and it’s hoppy too. I actually think I’m in love, if this was a woman, I’d marry her. Touch of coconut, mango. The sherbert hop finish is simply delightful. So clean and yet so intense, yet light, tropical, fruity, it’s like nothing I’ve ever had.

Draft at the Roppelt keller.

Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter.

Excellent rendition...lots of clove to balance out the juicy banana and pineapple esters. Not as fluffy and lush in the mouth as I’d like, but wonderfully balanced with bracing acidity. Great brewer.

It’s unclear golden with a huge, white, creamy and lasting head. The aroma has notes of slightly perfumed fruits as in peach and raspberries, wheat and light yeast. The same notes are found in the sweet flavour, that has a slightly dry finish with a very light spiciness.
