Weihenstephaner Original Bayrisch Mild

Yellow body with a creamy white head. "German" aroma... reminds me of a few nights of over-imbibing around October. Its mostly a caramelly malt with light hop presence. Taste is a little more bitter, but there is still that sweet malt to back it up. The bitterness gets into a slightly astringent papery thing, almost like licking envelope glue. Not my cup of tea...

Saw this at the beer store today and remembered that I had it some time back. For a German lager, it’s about as standard as it gets, perhaps even moreso than Warsteiner. More soft on the palate, though, more round-feeling in the presentation, a little more sweet. I guess this is the true Original, using the oldest recipe in recorded history.

Pale golden with a full, but quickly dissipating head this brew has a full malty nose with grassy notes. Mouthfeel is slightly chalky and the malt grainy flavor lays on the tongue like a thin blanket. Well balanced. Light and slightly sweet, this is a good session beer.

Pour is yellow with a medium white head...smell is skunky grass...not a lot in the mouth, just a little sweet maltiness...good but a typical example of this style...

Pours a light golden color with some head and not much lace. Aroma was skunky, actually. Some malt presense, but that’s about it. Flavor is sweet with some light fruits, but a little grassy. Still good, though. Palate is thicker than I was expecting. Overall it’s pretty good and worth trying.

Pours pale gold with a dissapating head. Aroma is malty sweet with a little apple. Flavor is sweet with a hint of honey. A grassy finish. A little metalic and watery. A nice light lager.

bottled. wasn’t particularly fresh alas. pretty pale yellow colour and the head died very quickly. lightly grainy aroma with some vanilla and soft grassy flavours

Paid $1.49 for a 12-oz single. Pours very very very pale yellow, no head. Smells sweetly honeylike, but it’s not strong... Flavor is grassy and slightly skunked... but not horribly skunked. Very ordinary.
