Huether Spiced Weissbier
The Lion Brewery Restaurant

This new witbier did not possess the spiciness mentioned by Pootz and therefore may have been more spiced during the winter. A sour yeasty malty aroma, and inititial sour sweet in a medium mouthfeel. SIgnificant sugar added that kicks in to sweeten the mouth near sweetened soft drink, makes it drinkable, but however way out on the sweet side. Much fresher and purer ingredients since the new brewer has taken charge in recent months. Good head and some lace.

New Offering from the Lion Brewery at the Huether Hotel

This witbier tapped a clouded translucent pale orange with a billowy white cap....lively effervescence.

Nose fills with a tangerine-spice pungency mixed with sweet malty tones.

Light bodied, spritzy semi dry, malty and spicey with a citrusy character.

Up front there is a peppery mouth feel from the effervescence but this drops away to reveal a nice bicuity malt presence that is cleanly balanced with a citrus tartness and soicey astringency...finish is spritzy, dry and biscuity with a light citrus aftertaste.

A very quenching, dinkable house witbier... a tad less dry and maltier than some but with a well defined orange-corriander character and biscuity wheat snap to it.
