Erdinger Hefe Weizen


Another from the sampler pack. First enjoyed in July, 2003, here are those notes:

Appearance in this weizen fits the bill to a T, with a hazy, pale, straw-yellow color, and a thick, fluffy, cloud-like head of foam.

Aroma is likewise on the mark for a typical hefe, lemony and sweet, but with a little bit of citric sour, as well.

On meeting the lips, this beer is remarkably smooth, with a nice texture, and a light body.
Extraordinarily drinkable, but utterly lacking in any complexity or nuance.
A simple, pleasing, nice little ale, with continual contributions of flavor
. Not bad at all, by no means, but lacking anything in it to rise above the ordinary.
As hefe weizens go, it's an adequate sample, and goes down nice, and refreshing.
