Schatzi="Shiesse"
The initial aroma gave me hope, a solid waft of banana and clove on the nose, after popping the can open. There was a ray hope that I may have found a locally produced weissbier on par with the German weissbiers I had enjoyed when I worked in Europe. I was hoping that I had finally found an American brewer who could make a good weissbier.
As I poured this new found brew into a glass, my optimism was subdued by a noticeable lack of carbonation. It was nearly flat as Kansas. A thin, weak ring of tiny bubbles formed along the edge of the glass, virtually no foam, WTF. It looked slightly cloudy, amber-is, but dead. In the glass the smell was still enticing, but the appearance was sad.
I gave it a swirl, raised to my lips and had a taste. The initial taste was pleasant, banana and clove notes caring over from the nose as expected, but the the mouth feel and flavor- most disappointing. No bubbles to stimulate the palate. No richness or body to give any sense of satisfaction. Thin and dead, reminiscent of diluted vinegar, describes the mouth feel. An experience not hoped for.
The aftertaste had the notes of damp cardboard. I looked for any sort of "best by" date or production date on the can, but found none.
Overall this was a disappointment. and a waste of 15$.
This experience has only reinforced the feeling that no one in the northeastern United States has figured out how to brew a weissbier or hefe-weizen like the germans. Allagash does a very nice witbier around here. I have yet to find an enjoyable weissbier from an American craft brewer.
