Edelweiss Weissbier Snowfresh

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

0.33L bottle. strong aromas of wheat and yeast, small head, hazy golden colour with a lot of carbonation. flavours of flowers and forest, certainly some pine and maple, pleasant and refreshing sourness at the end. This beer seems to me much more a belgian wittbier than a weizen. A big suprise and an excellent beer.

Poured hazy blonde appearance with a nice foamy white head. Freaky, interesting aroma of spices, herbs, some honey. Feeling like a trip in the Alps, perfume of the meadows on the hillside. The flavor is similar with some unique taste of herbs (sage?), honey and cinnamon, some flavor of banana and citruses. Absolutely exciting character with unusual tastes. Nice character, fine body, refreshing one

I first tried this at the Canada Cup of Beer. I went to Brewery Creek and picked up some last week. The packaging is very attractive, mountains embossed on the bottle. More importantly, the flavour is excellent, the smell of tropical fruit, bananas, with a corriander or clove finish... As good as Schneider or Erdinger in my humble opinion!

Bottled 33cl. Bought in Rietschi Getränke, Arlesheim. Appearance: It pours a murky pale golden beer with a tall, nicely remaining creamy white head. Beautiful lacework. Aroma: Rather strong and inviting. Banana, candy sugar, arabic gum, sherbet and lime. Flavor and palate: Huge amounts of strawberry, green tea and cinnamon showing up. Good balance. Very interesting. Reminiscent of marjoram and bubble gum. Medium bodied. Sweetish. The slallow is dominated by herbs leaving a spicy (coriander) finish. Overall impression: Extremely refreshing and pleasant. An excellent Spice/Herb/Vegetable. I’m against the grain here.

@ GJBF 2007. Strong spice and wheat aroma with some fruit and yeast as well. Spicy flavor with nice earth tones, sweet fruit, wheat, floral, some banana, yeast and lightly bitter. Was an excellent suprise at the festival.

25Kc from Kaufland in Prague. Not bad white beer. A little too sweet and fruity. Tasty and not bad. Doesn’t beat Hoegaarden but wanted to try a different white beer.

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!

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.
