Commercial Description:
Stiegl-Weizengold is proof positive that we at the Stiegl Brewery in Salzburg are just as much experts at brewing "weissbier" as the Bavarians: Stiegl-Weizengold. 12 ° original gravity, 5.3 % alcohol by volume, finest ingredients, top-fermenting process. All of these are responsible for top quality and an unmistakable flavour. Stiegl-Weizengold is available in two types, the lighter-coloured "Hefefein" and the darker "Dunkel". "Hefefein" weissbier from Salzburg, is refreshing, untreated and invigorating. Brewed by Brauerei Riegele, Augsburg, Germany under supervision of the Stiegl Brauerei.

1/2L bottle. Cloudy light golden with small white head. Aroma of citrusy hops with some bannana, bubblegum, and almost cheesy yeast notes. Flavor is sweet wheat grainyness with some spicy clove and banana notes. Medium mouthfeel and rather sweet finish with some spicey and funky yeast flavors. The funk got worse as the beer warmed. Maybe some bottling or handling issues on this one.

Pours a very cloudy deep gold color with a creamy head that sticks around. Aroma of wheat, yeast, banana, spice and sugar. Flavor is good and has all of the elements above, but is somewhat sweeter than the usual hefe. Light and smooth on the palate. I liked it. Very enjoyable!

What a peculiar beer. Weizen Gold had some of the most enticing aromas... but I couldn’t quite place it at first. Was it honeysuckle? Salt-water taffy? Then it hit me... Sugar Cookies. The darn thing smelled like sugar cookies! Perhaps even stranger, it actually tasted a bit like sugar cookies as well. This might make for a pleasant "dessert" beer, but I couldn’t ever imagine myself drinking more than one.

Bottle in Vienna, 2006. Opaque golden color, full of yeast, extremely cloudy, nice head. Spicy, fruity aroma, quite strong. Bananas, cloves, coriander. Full malt flavor, with coriander, cloves, bananas. Very nice. Slightly sweet, spicy, with a sweetish finish. No faults, though not extremely interesting either. East drinking weissbier.
