Zittauer Burgerbrau Blond
Privatbrauerei Eibau

500ml can, wrap label. Bottom stamp is 'DU39'.
Clear, pale gold colored body. A white colored head forms with the pour but quickly disappears to become an island and a full ring. Leaves behind a few scattered lacing spots.
Aroma is industrial, with whiffs of tangy wheat, apple and banana, and cloves.
Taste is tangy and fruity. Light flavors of apple, banana, and a very brief appearance of cloves.
Medium mouthfeel. Clean, with a crisp finish. Okay carbonation.
Wet, tangy, and fruity.

Light heffeweizen with yeast deposits.
Not bad!

Hazy gold color with a substantial head. Nose is faint, with barely detectable fruitiness. Fairly fruity in the taste, with faint phenols at best. Could use more carbonation as well. Pretty ordinary hefeweiss, not worth buying again considering we can get much better examples in cans or bottles.

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a lightly hazed orange color with a small head of white foam. THE head fades rather fast leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is heavy of a wheat bread and banana smell mixed with a bit of orange and some hints of lemon. Along with these smells comes a little bit of a musty and grassy smell as well as some notes of toast and grain.
Taste – The taste begins with a wheat bread flavor paired with a decent showing of yeast and a moderate sum of clove and coriander. Along with these flavors comes a slightly sour lemon and some notes of hay and grain. As the taste moves onto the end, the orange citrus fades a bit, while the lemon increases, and with a bit of banana, one is left with a slightly sour and moderately wheaty taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium in thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is moderate as well. For the tastes and the style the feel is good and makes for an easy sipper.
Overall – A little on the sour side, and more hefe like, but decent brew none the less.
