Day 24-Beer 24 Hefe Weissbier, Weihenstephaner

A long hard day, golf, beer, the fish fry at Camp Tiger, live entertainment by Richard Robbins and then more beer. Today's beer was brewed by Staats Brauerei, Weihenstephaner, Freising, Germany,( They call themselves the oldest brewery in the world), Hefe Weissbier ( a yeast wheat beer) pours a yellow/orange colour with a very little cloud that you see in most Belgian wheat beers. It produced lots of bubbly white head with nice sticky lacing. It was quite fragrant with hints of citrus and banana. The first mouthful has a bit of spice up front but settles into a very mellow lingering sweetness. I have never been a wheat beer fan, but this is probably what they should all taste like and certainly the best wheat beer I have had to date. I guess they have had lots of practice since they claim it was first brewed in 1040 AD. Overall 3.9 out of 4, I never thought I would rate a wheat beer that high.
