Weisse Original
Brauerei Gebrüder Maisel

 

500 ml. bottle in Mae Kasa, Thailand. Pours a cloudy, orangey amber with a soon dissipating white head. Aroma of bread, yeast, overripe bananas, maybe a hint of apricot. Crisp and lively carbonation with a pleasant acidity. Well balanced with a note of sour fruit in the finish. Impressive.

 

From a bottle. Hazy bright yellow to amber color. Smell is sweet. No bananas in smell which is adherent to most hefeweizen. Very fresh smell of apples, even cucumbers, some spice like black pepper or clove. Smell is really delicious and refreshing plus spicy. Yum. Taste is like ripe sweet and sour red apples. Apple juice. Really different from a classic hefe. Carbonation is medium, body is thin. Aftertaste of bread crust. This is almost like a weizen kellerbier. Love it.

This beer looks, tastes, and feels like a weißebier should! Great Bavarian wheat beer and one of my favourite beers ever!

 

East drinking beer

First proper German beer upon arriving in Germany. Hefe is one of my least favorite German styles but this is good stuff. Great flavor and easy drinking. Very tasty.

 

Keg. Hazy amber with an extra thick frothy head.
Yeasty, spicy and fruity aroma. Hints of banana.
Tastes similar.
Sprightly but on the thin side.
Good to see on tap in the UK.

Had this on tap at a small beer garden in Meine Germany. Absolutely delightful. Tasted like, smelled like, and had the mouthfeel of a creamy banana milkshake. Nothing else like it out there. If you can get it fresh on draught, go for it.

 

 

Look: Hazy orange. 4 fingers of thick white head with very long retention.

Smell: Wheat bread, orange zest.

Taste: Like the smell, bready malt, orange zest, and a bit of spice.

Mouthfeel: Thin and highly carbonated.

Overall: Nothing exceptional or bad. A perfect template example of the style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a cloudy, deep amber coloration with a medium, creamy head. Smells of doughy malt, estery fruit/spice and hints of grassy, citrus hops, with notes of banana, clove and tangerine. Taste is a great balance of doughy malt, estery fruit and spice notes of banana and clove and hoppy accents of grass and tangerine. Finishes with a light bitterness and some banana, clove and tangerine lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This is quite a hoppy Hefeweizen, with the tangerine accents almost standing out more than the classical banana note, while the clove is very present here without becoming overbearing though. Somewhat unusual, rather dark amber coloration for a Hefeweizen as well, which is quite attractive actually though, with a rather nice, soft mouthfeel as well. Overall, I think this strikes a great balance of malt, esters and hops, with the distinct citrus accents lending quite a refreshing feel to this.

 

 

Picked up at local store because when I see new imports of classic styles I usually go for it. (Binny's please read this) Darker, alomost reddish brown tones to the dark golden body, huge cream head. As the head dies down and one sips, thick lacing left behind. Huge banana and german yeast nose, light clove, lemon zest, and more than decent wheat and grains make up the aromas. Taste is sweeter for a hefe, banana and yeast again lead powerfully, get a hint of scone with the lemon and bubble gum, has a snappy wheat finish with floral accents. Feel is full with wheat and yeast textures, elevated brightness but somewhat languid for style. Good all around

 

De color ámbar, con un dedo de espuma densa de excelente retención. De cuerpo y carbonatación media. Aroma afrutado y a trigo. Sabor algo especiado con notas de banana.

L- Quite deep amber and notably cloudy. Pours with a 1Cm head, holds well.
S- Typical Weiss notes, nice.
T- I've just had a Portugese Super-Bock Weiss but this one underlines the limitations of that one. This is a typical good quaility trad Weiss...
F- ... but a difference here is that everything comes together into a satisying balance. It's neither rich nor dry, just a very enjoyable and certainly sessionable and versatile beer.
O- Arguably a classic Bavarian Weiss and a very good example of the features of that style. Very drinkable and I'd happily drink it again.

Delicious traditional Hefeweizen with a hint of banana in the flavor. Slight banana bread aroma.

 

 

 

 

Pours darker than other Hefeweizens- almost an amber color. Smell is similar to other beers of this style. Taste has coriander and more clove in addition to other usual suspects of bananas and bread. A bit of orange as well. Feel is medium bodied and good balance of carbonation. Very nice. Overall one of the better Hefeweizens I’ve had (and I’ve had plenty). Not quite an Ayinger or Weihenstephaner but in the same league.
