Kapuziner Hefe-Weissbier Naturtrüb
Kulmbacher Brauerei AG

 

 

0.5 L Can
Glass: 0.5 L Weizen Vase
ABV: 5.4%


Look:
Cloudy/opaque gold that comes across as a burnished golden copper. I can see the shadows of my fingers through the narrow part when held up to a light. A 2-finger off white head slowly dissipates leaving good lacing.

Smell:
Bananas and citrus fruits with a good dose of fruit sugar or honey. Some wheat dough. There are very mild spice note that are mostly in the background.

Taste:
Follows the nose. The spices (mostly allspice) are a shade or two more pronounced here. Very well balanced though a tad on the sweet side as most Hefeweizens are.

Feel:
Smooth and creamy. The body is solidly medium.

Overall:
A solid hefeweizen that hits all of the right notes and hits them well. Tasty and refreshing. A great spring and early summer beer.

 

 

 

 

$4.49 for a 16oz can at BlueGoat, which is a complete rip off, IMO. Pours out to a cloudy dark golden, forming a slightly yellow head with beautiful retention and lacing. Firm carbonation, ~3.0 carbs or so. Nice aroma of bananas and cloves, well balanced, really a great nose...classic for the style without any flaw.Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Taste is really quite nice. Nice wheat character well abalanced with the mild bitterness and spicy phenols. Lightly sweet malty finish and leaves you wanting to drink more. No off flavors.

Really, this is one of the best weizens I've had in a while. Very well done. I know what I'll be picking up next time, but somewhere else at a much better price.

500 ml swingtop bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.4%. Hazy golden colour, huge white head. Strong aroma of ripe bananas and banana-flavoured candy / bubble gum, also notes of cloves. Refreshing flavour, some sweetness but not too much, notes of banana, citrus and cloves. In other words: a typical well made Hefe-Weissbier, which is good enough for me, as I love this beer style, esp. in summer.

I tried this awesome weed beer on tap and it was amazing good nice banana aroma beautiful hazy golden color good amount of carbonation and slightly bit sweet flavor at the end was very multi body definitely one of my top favorite cheers!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a 16.9 oz. can. Has a copper/orange color with a 1 inch head. Smell is mild, bananas, pink bubble gum. Taste is the same as the aroma but more pronounced, some wheat is present. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall not bad, but based on the score here I was disappointed with this beer.

Poured from a pint can into a weizen glass.

Pours a hazy deep gold (but not amber) with an excellent two-fingered head that is a little more creamy than rocky, and that's fine. It lingers well and gives way to excellent lacing. Pretty in the glass for sure.

Excellent aromas of banana, clove, white grape, granny smith apple, mild yeast, faint grassy hops.

Sweet on the tip of the tongue, with bubblegum and banana, but spicy yeast quickly joins in midstream, along with cloves and allspice. Tart wheat offsets the sweetness quite well, manifesting in mild citrus and tart apple. Very substle hops. The finish is almost warming in spice, with a bit of warmth lingering on the lips. Very well balanced between the mild sweetness and the complex tartness.

A little creamier than anticipated, the brew is more of a smooth finisher than a lively crisp one, but it's still drying, if not crisp, owing to some sneaky carbonation.

There are others of the style that are better, but this one is unique yet hews closely to the hallmarks of the style. The creamy finish and warming spice make it a treat.

 

 

 

 

L- Deep amber, slightly cloudy, pours with 2mm white head (holds well).
S- Notably fruity, for a moment I'm reminded of the boiled sweets called 'Pear Drops' and bananas.
T- The Smell^ carries over, a rounded fruit note, hints of banana, then a hoppy dry note veers in, and into a dry/CO2 note at the finish. < Those are the distinctive taste notes, on top of the more generic weissbier characteristics.
F- Certainly a 2-in-1 here, at first it starts off on the richer side, then swiftly flips to hoppy/dry+CO2. This happens on each of my first several mouthfuls.
O- A Weissbier profile but with distinctly prominent fruit/banana notes - I am sure you could ID this from a random line up of 10 or even 20 world beers/styles without *any* problem. Whether that works for you is another matter. I've enjoyed trying it but the banana note might get a bit worn out after say one more, and IMO it's too different/distinctive to be sessionable. Certainly something different though!
£2.16/500ml flip-top bottle with ceramic stopper. BB: 08/01/2021 Bought from BeersOfEurope/UK for home delivery.

Look: Orange leaning to amber in color, cloudy/murky, and the pour brings on a good head that recedes quickly leaving great lacing
Aroma: Clove, wheat bread, and banana intermixed. Some fruity esters emerge as well
Taste: Huge clove up front, then in floods a combo of warm wheat bread and banana – like a wheat-based banana bread. Some bubblegum comes and goes as well
Mouthfeel: Big and chewy but not overwhelming on the palate. Light to medium carbonation and a super soft finish
Overall: I’m digging this one. The huge amounts of flavor that the yeast brings just screams Weissbier (as opposed to a more approachable ‘wheat ale’) and that is exactly what I wanted when I grabbed this one. Tasty stuff and a great warm weather companion

 

50cl bottle from Beers of Europe website (£2.59):
Slightly murky amber with a very foamy & thick, 3cm head with great retention. The nose is faintly sweet with bananas, pale malts, faint bubblegum & a little wheat to finish. Its a similar taste with bubblegum, wheat & a faint bitterness in the background. There's a little clove & bread malts too but it's well balanced with strong, fine carbonation & a medium body. It's not quite as sweet as normal for the style with more of a subtle bitterness but it was pleasant & drinkable throughout. 

 

I like the can artwork, it's classy. The pour is orange. The taste is some cloves & banana bread, it's a smooth & easy drinking Weissbier but the flavors are a little dull & it sort of has cardboard type of taste towards the finish. My reviews are based on beers that I had from a 5 liter mini keg & a pint size can. Cheers! B
