I don't want to complain about the length of names in the German tongue, but holy carp, that's a long name. Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan seems too long. The rest of it, I just went with what the bottle said, cleared my head, and decided to move on with the review. I'm not here to decide what the translation of words is, and I don't want to nitpick labels (more than I already do). So, here we have a very wordy beer from Germany that says it's made in the Bavarian style, and it appears to be a Hefeweizen.
The clear, gold beer looks inviting. The head simmers down to an incomplete cap, and I won't be getting any lacing. The aroma is yeast-forward, but it's a good, solid yeast that has some nice floral aromas to it. It smells like there is some honey sitting behind the yeast, and I am anticipating there being grains that I don't really pick out in the smell.
First sip is yeasty deliciousness. The grains are propping everything up, and it has really cool tanginess on the back end that a powerful yeast normally brings. It's bright, inviting, and solid. I mean, I normally stretch this paragraph out with some insight or a word of wisdom, but this beer is just very nice, and I'm going to drink more of it now, thank you.
Tip-in is flowers and yeast with mild carbonation tingle. The middle is crisp, grain-filled, and it has honey to sweeten the deal. The finish is tangy yeast with slight bitterness and a slow trail off of honey and yeast.
Bottom Line: Very nice.
4.0/5
