Day 193-Beer 193 Weihenstephaner Hefewiessbier Dunkle, Weihenstephaner Brewery, Freising, Germany



June 13 Watching Germany Win the World Cup

Not all of us were rooting for Germany today, but none the less it was a great game, so in honour of their victory tonight's brew is from one of the world's oldest breweries, established in Germany in 1040, that's almost as old as the combined ages of the people in this picture. Tonight's brew is a dark hefe, it poured a hazy amber/copper colour with a large off white head that settles to a sticky layer of foamy lacing across the surface. The aroma is caramel with hints of orange, banana and vanilla. The flavour is caramel malt up front with hints of nuts and bready yeast and a nice background hint of citrus hops. One of the better hefe/dunkels  I have tasted to date. 3.9 out of 5 .
Cheers to all that enjoyed the game.
