Aass Gourmet Weizen (Lys Hvete)

Brewed by Aass Bryggeri
Style: German Kristallweizen
Drammen, Norway

Medium white fine-laced head with some larger bubbles. Clear, light copper body, so clearly a kristall-weizen. Sweetish, rubbery, metallic aroma with notes of wheat and flowers. Taste is again sweetish, earthy wheat with rubbery, hoppy notes. Thin and sharp mouthfeel for a weizen. Earthy, wheaty aftertaste, eventually turning papery. This is not a very weizen-like beer, but quite nice. Nothing major, though. (0.33l bottle.)

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a big white head. Malty and bready aroma. Sweet malty flavours, some bread, strangely buttery finish. Slightly grainy texture. I do not find much (weissbier) character in this beer. Disappointment from Aass.

Bottle: clear yellow colour, nice head! Aroma of malts,grainy,flowery,and som grainyness. Flavor is almost the same, Thin mouth feeling,short to medium finish. Nice try Aass!, but make it in a hight alc level, and it will be better.

33 cl bottle. Golden color, lovely white head. Citrus and wheat aroma. The same in aroma, with moderate bitterness. Ok beer for a hot summer day.

Bottled. Clear golden,rich head. Dusty orangey nose. Sweet and juicy with light-medium body and clean rounded mouthfeel. There’s no esters, so it remains more like a wheat ale, but then there is very little fruitines so my guess would be that it’s bottom fermenting... Low bitterness,

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour. Light, light aroma from...yes what? 20% wheat maybe. Low on most every thinkable aromas, but also without off-flavours. Slightly bitter. Good session beer for non tasters.

Bottle. Courtesy of faroeviking. Clear yellow colour with a small head. Fruity and citric aroma. Thin body. Flavour is like lager than weizen. Malty, fruity and a bit sour.

Dense medium-sized white head over a clear and pale copper colored body. Mild wheaty aroma with scents of grassy and hayish hops. Vague notes of sweet citrus and metal. Taste is mild and moderately sweet. Mainly grain and wheat, also some light bittering hops. A little sourness in the aftertaste. Thin body. Short sourish end. A fair one, and quite refreshing, but not a genuine Kristallweizen, feels more like a decent macrolager with some wheat added.
