Ramstein Blonde

Brewed by High Point Brewing Company
Style: German Hefeweizen
Butler, New Jersey USA

Pours a fully hazy lemon-straw color and is topped by a pale thin tan head. The aroma is quite yeasty with notes of lemon, wheat, apple and a hint of clove. The taste is a bit more sour than I was expecting, it is actually quite nice and tart. There is definitely a lemon like component to this beer as well as notes of crisp apple. The body is light and refreshing with a bit of chewy yeastiness to it as well. At this point this is definitely low on the traditional clove and/ or banana notes, but this is most like due to the age of this beer. I find that hefeweizens tend to lose those aspects pretty quickly. All in all this is a nice, tasty refreshing brew

Finally, I have tasted an American Hefe that tastes similar to a German, not that the American hefe’s I’ve tasted were bad, but all were missing a flavor that all the German ones had, this beer has that flavor, don’t know how to pinpoint it, but this beer has it! I hope Ramstein continues to improve, they could corner the market on American Hefes! Good brew, thanks Duane!

On tap. Hazy, yellow color with a good size white head. Aroma of wheat, cloves, citrus and banana. Flavor was wheat malt, cloves and citrus. Very refreshing and a nice example of a hefeweizen.

bottle. poured a pale, cloudy yellow. aroma and flavor of lemon and clove. a true hefeweizen. a good brew that would be even better on a hot summer day.

Hazy yellow. unfiltered, and cloudy. I smell the Barley. This is an easy drinking brew. Not an all time favorite.

This was a citrus herbal clove wheat brew - crisp lemony refreshing with moderate hops in the finish - good summertime drinking wheat. Cloudy golden body topped with medium head, great lacing.

Cloudy orange with a thin white head. Banana and clove aroma, lively carbonation and smooth, ends lightly sweet. Long aftertaste, a bit thin, but good.

Color: hazy, light orange. Head: small, white, and soon disappearing. Aroma: sweet, fruity, large and yeasty, very nice. Good, pleasing burst of hops, very light on the palate afterwards, and just a little short on weizen texture. Perhaps that, though, is their aim with this wheat, to be lighter, more drinkable. Body is light, but taste is very good. Yum. I like. Ultra smooth, does the job.
