Weihenstephaner Original Bayrisch Mild

Thanks to Mike Maltbie for this... Appears a hazy, pale gold with a small white head that quickly fades out into a small bubbly collar. Tiny speckles of lace are left around the glass. Smell is of yeasty bread, light caramel, tofee, and candied corn. Taste is of the same aromas with a gentle hoppy citrus. Mouthfeel is light bodied, mildly sweet and like candy with a crisp bite.

Bottle (from Bitter Virtue, BB Mar 07). Mild maltiness and a little herbal hoppiness towards the end. On the whole a bit lacking with insufficient malt character and a slightly grassy unpleasant edge to the hops appearing.

Poured from a 16.9oz bottle that was probably a little bit too cool. Clear light straw color with little head that fades fast. Rather malty aroma with a hint of hoppiness. Drinks very malty and easy. Quite good and drinkable lager.

16.9 oz bottle - Pours light yellow with a moderate, rather rapidly fading head. There’s a mild malt aroma with maybe a hint of citrus. The taste matches the aroma and is also mild, plus I’m picking up some yeasty flavor. The body is moderate, not as thin as I expected from a beer this pale. That’s good. This beer is light and easy to drink. It easily surpasses most of the pale lagers of which we see far too many, but is still not that great.

Clear gold, bubbly white head. Flowery aroma with some malt and hops. Taste is a lager with good maltiness. Good, nothing special.

Light yellow beer. smells fruity, a bit hoppy and a bit skunky. Tastes more maltish, but also a bit lightstruck, some citrussy fruits too. Not bad, and nicely balanced.

Bottle 39F Lager. Light aroma of hops, slight skunk, very light aroma. Very clear light yellow color, with decent white head that leaves a moderate ring and moderate lacing. Good crisp lager taste finishes clean with a slight bitterness, Nicely palanced good taste of mild german hops, with easy drinking light malts. Nice full palate feel, great carbonation, it looks and smells like a light lager but the taste is much bigger and the feel is much fuller. A nice lager good and very easy drinking. Ganz Gut.

Pours light yellow with a rocky uneven head. Aroma has light malt with hints of sweetness. Mostly a typical German lager. Light malt with a bit of corn syrup sweetness. The finish has some light spicy hop bitterness. A solid beer, but nothing to get too excited about.
