Stiegl Weisse Naturtrüb
Stieglbrauerei zu Salzburg GmbH

 

On tap in Innsbruck. Pours a cloudly Gold with lasting off white head. Aroma is banana and sour grapes. Taste is heffe with a wierd metal after Taste. Feels watery and light. Not a favorite.

 

 

 

 

L- More amber than gold, poured gently after being rested well yet but striking how much sediment lifted into the pour, even knowing it's an unfiltered Weissen. Pours with circa 1Cm white head which holds very well (still all there 10mins post-pour).
S- Classic Weissen nose to it, that bouquet of spices.
T- Similar to^ the spicy Weissen profile is right there on the palate, zero need to sip+squint over and over to discern it here.
F- Interesting! It has a distinct 'roundness' to it that I wouldn't expect from a Bavarian Weissen
O- I like it, and I like it more than several of the big-name Bavarian Weisse-bier. For context I lived in Germany for 3 years and enjoyed legions of them. The extent of the wheaty 'rounded' aspect is unusually prominent and I think it would make this a good choice of Weisse especially during colder months (like now for me!).

Really nice cloudy yellow colour with thick head and some sediments.
Fruity smell.
The taste is also fruity, with bananas in front and some fresh unripe fruits giving a bit of astringence.
Dense body, a pleasure to drink.
A very well made weizen!

On tap, it's just short of heaven, I think.

 

Pours a murky dark orange color with a small top off white head that disolves rather quickly. Sweet aroma off banana,yeast and cloves. The flavour follows the nose for the most. Sweet banana with wheatmalts and cloves, finishes off dry with a slight bitterness and a decent lenght in the aftertaste. Meddium carbonated with a thick body. The mouthfeel are creamy but a little watery. This is more than a decengt enough hefeweizen. Nothing very exiting , but good and easy driking.

Stiegl's Weisse is a traditional, basic Bavarian-style hefeweizen with the typical appearance and notes of banana and clove from the yeast. They're not too strong, their not too light, and there's a very subtle tartness within the wheat maltiness as well. It's medium light in body and effervescently crisp - easy to drink and refreshing as it's not too sweet, and some spicy hops rouse your tastebuds in the finish so that you're ready for the next sip.

 

 

A- Vanilla colored bubbles that are wee tight provide a layer of frothy cover over this golden hued brew that also has bronze tinges around the rim....this is also semi-transparent, wheat beer! The retention levels are good and the lacing is quite good, with chunky patches of foam sliding slowly back into the glass.

S- Biscuit like yeast....almost doughy, banana like esters, possible apricot kernel, appfelwine, peach, along with crystal and caramel malts.....the finish is slightly Earthy and of some sweet spice. Overall a nice, yet mild aroma that would be average-ish.

T- Overall this is mild and watered down, with yellow fruit flavors....banana, apricot, golden delicious apple, and a dry, muted spice finish. I find there is a small metallic quality about it and it underwhelms the palate unfortunately.

M/O- Champagne like bubbles that provide a nice burst of zing on the palate......light bodied and sociable, this would make a good hot weather/ladies drink. The alcohol is well hidden, but I just don't find it my kind of beer.....not offensive, but nothing to write home about. Probably pass on this one....
