Edelweiss Weissbier Snowfresh

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

33cl bottle. Cloudy golden body with medium size white head. Flavour is wheat, yeast, citrus and spices.

Murky orange-yellow in colour with a thin white head, light lacing. The aroma is spicy, some bananas, flowers and some citrus. The flavour is lightly spicy, some cloves, lemon citrus, moderate bitterness. Moderately bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes long, citrusy with some spice.

Not bad but is this a wit beer? Seems to thin out quite a bit at the very end.

Bottle. Lightly hazy, pastel yellow colour with a small white head. Yeasty, tart citrus notes (lemon and orange) in the aroma. Light flavour, with similar characteristics to the aroma with moderate citrus and yeast notes. Average to thin palate seems fitting. A pleasant wheat beer but it is largely unremarkable. 7-7+/3/7/3/14-15

Bottle-Cloudy yellow pour with a frothy but short lived white cap, leaving a little lace. The aromas are banana and clove with lemon and malts with a minty, herbal essence that s quite interesting. That must be the alpine herbs. Tastes of lemon and other citrus fruit, sweet banana, cloves and again an interesting minty spiciness. I quite like it. The finish is creamy and lingering.

Twist top bottle??? Pours a decent looking clouded pale straw in the glass with a 3 finger puffy cap. Great lacing. Color and look more reminiscent of a Belgian wit Good aroma for a commercial weissbier; banana, spices, cloves, bit of fruit bubblegum, and a mild herbal under tone....nice! A whack of sweet malts up front that instantly is joined with fruits, spice and some fine bittering herbs that compliment and brighten the hops...finish dries out nicely with a crisp snap and a bit of puckering dryness. Really nicely carried off for a commercial effort.Aromatic. fruity lightly sweet with a dry crispness. Very decent flavourful summer drink.

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.

Bottle. Creamy white good fully lasting head. Yellow colour.Light malty moderate hoppy very herbal aroma. Yeasty and nice citrus-notes. Moderate bitter flavor. Long very nice moderate bitter finish. Creamy palate. Very nice beer.

Goût de levures fruitées aux faibles notes sûres (bananes, agrumes sucrées) acccompagné d’un goût épicé (léger de clou de girofle, notes de coriandre et traces de cannelle) et de notes de gomme balloune lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de blé ainsi que des traces de sucre bonbon puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes humides) et aux notes florales asséchantes. Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales, de levures fruitées (pelures de bananes, léger zest de agrumes) et avec un léger goût de blé.
