Edelweiss Weissbier Snowfresh

Brewed by Hofbräu Kaltenhausen (Brau Union)
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Hallein, Austria

Hazy pale yellow with a huge foamy head with great retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is wheat, herbs, banana and cloves. Flavor is sweeter than expected with wheat, banana esters, herbs and spices. Body is a little thin. Very refreshing.

Uma das melhores cervejas de trigo que já tomei. Coloração âmbar clara, turva, com uma espuma densa volumosa e de média duração, deixando uma boa camada perene. Aroma e sabor bem destacados, com notas cítricas, sobressaindo banana, porém sem exageros. Refrescante. Conjunto harmônico. Perfeita inserção de álcool. O grande trunfo dessa breja, ao meu ver, é que o fabricante conseguiu fazer uma cerveja de trigo muito bem equilibrada, sem ser leve demais, nem cítrica demais. Tudo é bem balanceado. Parabéns!

330 ml bottle - pours dull, slightly cloudy straw blond, lacks the "brightness" of a god hefe. Thick, sticky white head settles down after a bit. Strong fruity aroma, almost candy-like, with some medicinal notes as well, I guess from the herbs. Lemon and mint, too. Maybe a hint of nutmeg? Compelling. Very fresh smelling. Flavour similar to a hefe, but with a few more crisp, dry herbal notes. Wonderfully refreshing - perfect hot weather beer.

This one poured a light yellow colour with a nice thick, bright white head. To the nose there are scents of spice, corn, cinnamon and bubblegum. First taste was slightly watery with flavours of bubblegum and hand cream. Finish is smooth and very flavoured iin gum and cream.

Bottle. Hazy golden blond colour, pours with a weak head and floral aromas, banana, citrus. Taste orange, banana, lemon zest.

Thanks to ghawener. Drank it during Eurocup final 2008. Sorry ghawener. A nice brew, I thought it was a Hefeweizen, but guess not. Don´t really know what is a spice/herb/vegetable. Any way, I really enjoyed it, it was spicy with some lemon undertones.

I tried this beer on June 5, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy golden orange colour with a thick white head which lasted a few minutes. The aroma was wheat, some cloves, and a little bit of hops. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and highly carbonated. The flavour was sweet wheat with some clove, banana, and coriander.

Bottled sample via MLCC. Again I was surprised at how flavourfull this was. Nicely caronated and wonderfully spicy. Would buy this again in a heartbeat.
