Kapuziner Weissbier Leicht

Brewed by Kulmbacher Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: German Hefeweizen
Kulmbach, Germany

I usually avoid light beers like the plague but this turned out to be quite an interesting experience. The usual cloudy appearance is still off putting although I know it goes with the beer. Gentle wheatiness with a very reasonable body considering its low strength.Plenty of depth and an all round decent wheat beer.

Bottle from Morrissons, Tewksbury, 02-04-08 had this same evening Fairly standard middle ofn the road wheat beer other than it’s a bit weaker than many. Some wheat on nose but otherwise little else. Tastes quite safe, some yeastiness and light fruit but little else. Its fine and for such a low abv not bad.

Bottle from morrison. Iv been wanting to try a low% hefe for ages so here goes. Alround rating: Malty, light wheat character, very light body, sort of sharp tangyness lemon perhaps. Very easy going and very nice.

500ml bottle from Morrisons, Derby. Cloudy amber with a billowing white head; spicy aroma; wheaty taste with more clove spiciness; finish is dry and slightly sour with only a hint of banana esters.

Bottle. Wheat malt aroma with hint of banana. Cloudy orange amber color with small head. Wheat malt flavor - a hint of banana and clove but not much. Moderate carbonation. For a light Weizen, this is very good - it’s actually better than many regular Hefes.

Pours hazy with orange colour. Yeasty and a bit lemony taste. Dry and flat. Quite dull beer.

Bottle 0.5 l. The mouth of the bottle was a bit cracked, might’ve been before opening. A bit flat, smooth carb, sour and yeasty. Bit metallic and watery. Not very good. Need to try another one if this was faulty one.

Bottled. Cloudy golden, fizzy head. Metallic banana aroma. Sweet and lightly fruity with some cellary notes. Spritzy and thin, lightly papery . No bitterness. Works as a refresher.
