I love Uerige’s Altbier, so this was a severe disappointment. Lesson learned: Never order a Weizen in an Altbier pub. Beer was a slightly hazy and sickly pale yellow with thin, white head. Faint, lemony and grainy nose. Not much flavor, a low citric tartness and faint bitterness but otherwise pretty bland. Watery. Sorry, but its alleged Altbier leanings do not save it from being a shabby wheat beer. Hate to give an Uerige beer such a low score, but this is an honest rating.

Sep 30, 2007 Classic cloudy golden pour topped by a fading, fizzy white head. Rather straightforward wheat nose without much backup. A certain banana tartness develops with crème fraîche and baking powder undertones, but the ensemble is not that pleasant as it greatly lacks crispness. Little phenols nor yeast character. Creamy palate as the foaminess dies off, rather dry, akin to banana chips. Quite simple weizen.

Hazy yellow coloured with a white head.
Aroma of fruits and wheat.
Fruity flavour of wheat and spices with notes of bananas and hops.

Jul 15, 2007 From tap at Uerige. I couldn’t really get a good hang of this, tasted a bit raw with quite little weizenlike qualities. A bit yeasty, soury and some hoppiness.

Jun 23, 2007 Hazy golden coloured brew. Sweet and floral aroma. Malty flavor, sweetness and wheaty. A bit alt-like. Nice.
