3.56/5  rDev -1.9%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Pours clear yellow color with a 2 finger thick which foamy head that faded slowly and left minimal spotty lacing. Smells of vegetables, caramel, malt, lemon and some herbal notes. Tastes like it smells but with cereal like Corn Flakes and yeast in the mix. Very light, very mild carbonation, this would be great to crush outside on a nice warm sunny day.

Pours a semi-cloudy, pale yellow with moderate pail foam that dissipates fairly rapidly. Smell is malty and yeasty with a touch of citrus. Taste starts with malt and yeast, before tartness comes on and dominates the middle and end of the taste. The aftertaste also has strong flavor of esters. Feel is smooth and finely carbonated. Overall, this is a very drinkable beer, but not strongly weizen.

As others note, this is in a mixed box from Costco. Wheat beer generally is not one I like, and this one fits that bill.
The taste is somewhat unpleasant, but hard to identify, maybe some spices. Not one I'll look for more of.

Brauerei Gasthof Rittmayer "Rittmayer Weizen"
500 ml can "BEST BEFORE 07/2025"
$59.99 / 24 can - Costco's Biergarten Collection, Costco, Christiana, DE

Notes via stream of consciousness: Typical appearance with a cloudy golden-orange body beneath a thumb's width of creamy white foam. The aroma suggests sweet and juicy apple and green banana. Not surprisingly, the taste is basically the same with some added bready wheat and a touch of clove-like spiciness. It seems slightly tart but the pH is 5.0 which is totally normal. The head retention is not great but it does leave some nice lacing behind. In the mouth it's medium bodied and crisp. All in all this is a pleasant and quaffable weissbier.

From the half liter can in the 2024 Biergarten Collection from Costco, it pours a hazy amber color with a nice thick white head that slowly reduces. The nose gets banana, followed by the mouth getting a pleasant breadiness with notes of banana and clove. Yum!
