Erdinger Weissbier Leicht

Brewed by Erdinger Weissbräu
Style: German Hefeweizen
Erding, Germany

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a nice, white head. A bit small though. Weak, grainy and fruity nose, lacking on the banana. Grainy, slightly wheaty flavor with fruityness, but not banana or citrus here either. Medium body, low on co2, dry. Some bitterness in the finish. A decent low alcohol beer, and considering it’s bigger brother, almost surprisingly fine. 090829

from beerangel.de - cloudy golden-blond colour with a little foam left; dusty nose with notes of hay and banana; fair but subtle carbonation; sweet with some tart acidity, aftertaste of wheat and quite dry - thin-bodied and pointless

Bottle. Golden-orange colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, weak wheat. Flavour is fruit, weak wheat, banana, citrus. Weak beer.

Tnx to DH8VV! t has the traditional weissbeer looks with a bit lighter tone. Very nice thick head with wheaty nose! Aroma is subdued buit still pleasant, wheaty and mild sweetness. Flavor is the same, very mild and soft. Lacks the watery body of other low-cal beers, so quite OK.

Bottled 500ml. -from beerangel.de shared with Doggythedog. Lemony golden coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, almost neutral nose. Watery, slight yeasty and bready with notes of cardboard and wet paper. Like Doggythedog said, just one more to go and bye-bye.

0.5l bottle from beerangel.de (expires 7.2009, hmm), shared with ogivlado. Poured a murky orange-golden body with a very big thick white head that went away at a medium pace. The nose is almost missing, maaaaybe some very light yeastiness? Dunno. The taste.... oooh the taste. Stale bready empty crap. No real weissbier qualities. Prickly mouthfeel, maybe hiding a very very light acidity. Damn close to water though so could pass as drinkable. Exactly as bad as one could expect from a light that comes from a brewery that makes one of the most featureless proper wheat beers on the market (in my opinion). Just one Erdinger to go and then I don’t have to drink them again yaaay.

It is warm golden with a white and lasting head. The aroma is mild/weak with notes of wheat and light fruit. The flavor is very, very mild and has sweetness and soft notes of wheat and fruit. Erdinger normally has very subdued notes in their beers, and that is true for this one too, but compared with a lot of other light wheat beers, this actually is quite OK.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Clear golden with a dense white head leaving some lacework. Lightly sweetish aroma of fruit and yeast. Light body, vaguely tart with a note of yeast. Also finishes lightly tart. Not bad, just bland. 220309
