Wicked Wheat Beer: Weihenstephaner Weissbier

Weihenstephaner Weissbier, a classic wheat beer from Germany

Solid beer from what is claimed to be the world’s oldest brewery.

A bit on the bitter spiced aroma side, it has a strong aroma. Taste-wise, it goes down very refreshingly, with a slight sour citrus tinge on the tip of the tongue.

Hazy yellow with an omnipresent head it is a fine summer patio brew that exudes freshness with plenty of banana and clove present.

Not my personal favourite but I’d probably rank it in the top five hefe weissbiers – highly recommended.

The Wicked Wheat Beer Series is a collection of great wheat beers ranging from Belgian Witbier to Dunkelweiss to Hefeweizen and everything in between. If you’re a glutton for gluten, or wild for wheat beers, these are the refreshing beers for you.
