Maisels Weisse Original

Brewed by Brauerei Gebr. Maisel Bayreuth
Style: German Hefeweizen
Bayreuth, Germany

Poured a soft hazy orange with a thick creamy offwhite head. The aroma was nice, citrus/lemon, slightly sour, some grass or hay in there too. The flavor is a little tart, sour, citrus still there. As a matter of fact I’d say that the aroma pretty much sets you up for the taste. The palate is nice once you stir it up in your mouth and release some carbonation. Overall a good wheat.

Solid, pale pinkish color. Malty, yeasty, citrus aroma. Flavors are faint but include banana, bread and spices. Pretty sweet and only a little tart. Too easy.

Bottled. Really beautiful; hazu orange with large and rocky head. Lightly fruity and spicy in both aroma and flavour. A bit lght-bodied, but all-in-all an average weiss.

Relativly transparrent (compared to other weissbeers) orange loog with a fine light orange head. Very acidic citrus like aroma, more towards the fresh flowers then the traditional fruits. Palate is way smoother then other weissbeers, which tend to be overcarbonated for my taste. Flavor is hefe weisse style sweet, but in a very fine balance with the fresh citric part of the brew. Very nice experience and definetly a hefe-weisse with its own character

Bottle. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Light hoppy heavy yeasty aroma. Light bitter flabvor. Mango notes. Average finish. Oily palate. Not a great hefe.

Bottle. Cloudy orange colour with a huge white head. Aroma and flavour of banana, citrus and yeast

I have been looking for this for years and I finally found it in Amsterdam. I was lucky to get the last bottle on the shelf. Copper colored beer, opaque, and a tall, thick head. Light banana and cloves in the aroma. Sweet flavor, that includes citrus, banana, and wheat. A thick weizen. Very good.

Fairly middle-of-the-road in style but quite competent. Glowing darkish orange in colour with a thin persistent head. Very attractive. Nose is medium strength but mild fruity and banana confectionary notes come through clearly. Milder again to taste - very much in the dry / sharp mould with plenty of fizz and a slightly liquered fruity note tucked away at the finish. Perhaps a touch dilutive but no doubt would work well as a summer drink. Not the greatest example of the genre.
