750ml bottle, a commercially brewed version of a Vancouver-area home brewer's competition-winning recipe (which was also served at his wedding, hence the name, which is German for 'wedding beer').
This beer pours a cloudy, medium golden yellow colour, with a rising tower of puffy, thinly foamy, and fizzy dirty white head, which leaves some sparsely spaced island group lace around the glass as things duly recede.
It smells of bready, grainy wheat malt, a bit of biscuity caramel, some soft lemon and apple fruitiness, middling yeast, and somewhat spicy leafy, grassy, and herbal noble hops. The taste is more grainy, doughy pale and wheat malt, a sort of separate caramel sweetness, edgy, and slightly phenolic yeast, a muddled pome and citrus fruit acerbity, and more understated floral, leafy, and grassy hop bitters.
The carbonation is fairly heady in its tight and swirling, fizzy and frothy emanations, the body on the light side of true middleweight, and sort of smooth, those bubbles exacting a heavy tithe as they burble away. It finishes on a strong drying trend, the grainy and spicy nature of the wheat predominating.
Overall, a more or less well-made hefeweizen, lots of inherent flavour abounding, and yet approachable enough for those who might only know of Erdinger or Kronenbourg for their wheat beer needs, which may go a long way in explaining how Jochen (the homebrewer in question) had his wedding guests polish off 2 kegs (of unspecified volume) 'before the cocktail hour was over'.
