strange stuff. quite bitter for a weizen and full of hops. thick, with a chunky sourness. glad to find out what american wheat beer tastes like

UPDATED: JUN 16, 2007 A hefe with alt qualities and in a way I am reminded of the Sunner Hefe which has klosh like qualities. I liked a hefe with notes of pepper. Page 467 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide and only 230 of his 500 Classic Brews to go.

UPDATED: APR 21, 2009 Fliptop from the flughafen. A beautifully rounded specimen. Sourish, slightly rubbery nose. A touch of characteristic alty clementine fruit, developing into almost lambic sourness. Tart but appetisingly cereally with fresh wheat after the swallow. A tragedy I only brought one 330cl bottle home and,worse, had to share it.

Bottle 330ml. w. swing top. @ home.

Hazy - murky medium yellow orange colour with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly to fully lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, wheat, toasted, light to moderate hoppy, dry grass, herbs, citrus notes, moderate yeasty. Flavour is moderate sweet and moderate to light heavy bitter with a long duration, dry, hoppy, light yeasty, honeydew melon notes. Body is medium, texture is creamy to oily, carbonation is soft.

(bottle) pours a hazy golden colour with a creamy white head. aroma of caramel and wheat, with a light peachy fruitiness, a bit understated. flavour is much more pronounced, with lots of bubblegum, wheat, peaches, some notes of banana, lychee and fruity hop spices. medium body with smooth carbonation and a velvety finish. an excellent weizen!

Not a very weizeny weizen - it tastes like it’s made with the same yeast as the alt. eggy sulfur in the aroma gives it away. taste is meaty, round, and a bit like peach iced tea - juicy and a tad acidic. a weird one, but i liked it by the end of the glass.

Bottled (thanks Bov!). Hazy yellow colour, huge white fluffy head. Aroma is wheat, some a bit lagery "malty and hoppy figures" along with some herbs and citrusfruits. Flavour is wheat, yeast, some slight lagery notes as well as some earthyness. Almost wheat meeting Kölsch or something like that. Yet very nice and drinkable.

UPDATED: MAR 21, 2007 Draught at the brewpub. Lightly hazy golden, small dense head. Fruity nose wih some banana. Medium bodied with spritzy mouthfeel. Evidently estery, but more in the altbier sort of way than the weihenstephaner. Short spritzy finish. A good cross of weizen and altbier.
