Edelweiss Weissbier Snowfresh

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

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!

330ml bottle

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.

Pours hazy yellow, almost no head. Aroma is light , citrus, yeast and spicy. Flavour of wheat malt, spices, orange peel and bananas. Smooth and fresh as snow.

Pours a cloudy lemon-yellow, with a great thick white head that gradually reduces to a ring, with nice lacing. Nose is lemon, wheat malt, spun sugar, banana. The lemon smells candied, but in a very good way. Palate is lemon candy, bubblegum, cotton candy, and spice. Does not have the mouth-coating feel of most weisse beers, finishes crisp and clean instead. I have always had a soft spot for this beer. Glad to see it stands up now that I’ve finally rated it.

Pours deep yellow with white foaming head. Fresh and refreshing unique spiciness, this leaves your breath fresh and minty, ready to yodel. Herbal and wintermint in aroma, drinks very smooth.

The distribution of this confounds me. Is it available only in Canada and Croatia so far ?
Hazy ochre colour. Small white head that went away fast. A strong and very pleasant aroma of bananas, cloves and some other spice rounded up by some lacticity. The taste is also surprisingly pleasant. A truly lovely citric (almost lime) and herbal taste rounded up by a inobtrusive wheaty lacticity and yeastiness. Quite refreshing. Almost an Austrian take on the Belgian Wit style. A very pleasant surprise. Despite the gimmickey appearence of the bottle (and the twist off cap), this is one fine weissbier.

Hazy light orange-yellow, creamy towering head with excellent retention. Big aromas of bubblegum, banana, coriander and wheat. Flavourful palate of same, semi-sweet, delicately spicy, almost a tart finish. Maybe it was my mood, but I loved this, especially for spring!

0.33l bottle, 5.0% a/v Pours a light murky colour with an average looking white head. Smells nice and spicy, bananas and peach, very appetizing smell. The taste is not very sweet at the beginning, but quickly mellows into an excellent spice, herb, fruit sweetness, lots of bananas. Very good mouthfeel, and overall a great and refreshing wheat.
