Mahrs Bräu Weisse

Brewed by Mahrs Bräu
Style: German Hefeweizen
Bamberg, Oberfranken/Bayern, Germany

Bouteille à consommer de préférence avant la 17-08-04. Couleur jaunâtre, apparence semi trouble, moyenne quantité de mousse partiellement persistante. Semble s’être bien conservé malgré les 7 mois passés la date de péremption, ne montrant aucun signe évident de son age mis à part la carbonatation trop faible pour le style. Épices, bananes, un brin citronnées et très levuré, un peu sucré en bouche. Corps d’épaisseur semi mince, carbonatation douce et manquant passablement de pétillent. Amertume des levures en finale. Bouteille LCBO, Juillet 2005

light aroma with a very foamy, white head. Pale gold color with lots of yeast sediment, distinctly lemony flavor (I didn’t add any lemon), but not a lot of weisse beer flavor, not a lot of body or finish. Got it at the Bodega in a bottle, downtown La Crosse.

Bottle. Cloudy pour, with very visible precipitate (and I was not pouring the dregs). Banana aromas, but not much else. More banana flavor, lacking in cloves and yeast flavors. Thin.

Well, the Mahrs Weisse Bock isn’t bad, but this does. Not all that good. Thin, watery, low good banana/bubblegum esters and low clove, but this weird hardcandy quality that I don’t like.

Yeah OK it had the requisite elements: rich golden colour with bir white head; bready, banana, cloves; yeast and sweetly banana malty flavours; refreshing hints of citrus perhaps. Still, it semed a little low key in each area and not complex enough to be a true work of art. What it was though was a pleasant summer beer.

Clear gold pour with medium, white head. Aroma of bready malt, banana, cloves. Tastes hefeish, with a fruity, yeasty finish. Smooth.

Citrusy, bready aroma. Hazy pale golden color. Small head that faded fast. Strong banana and sweet bread notes. Very tasty. Somewhat less complex overall than many wheat beers. The flavor while, very good, is one dimensional. Still tasty.

Poured a cloudy yellow with medium flotsam and an average head. Big banana aroma. Tart and active on the palate, but subtlely flavored ... fruit basket/banana, little yeasty muskiness ... nice light weizen.
