Weyermann 76 Barley & Wein
Weyermann Brauerei GmbH

Gifted to me by @OzzyLizard after he hauled it back from Germany
Might be the first beer like this I’ve had, and it was better than I expected.
The pour was reminiscent of a white wine, with just a bit of carbonation. Similar color and quite transparent.
The taste leads with the grape musk, when cold, but when it warms a little the beer comes into play - not strong, but still present. Light, very light biscuits and cereal. The white wine flavor never goes away.
The feel is light and not quite crisp.
OA, I could see drinking a few of these on a hot summer day, no problem. Almost refreshing.
