It's time to be economical in beer buying, once more. And there's nothing that delivers like a Sierra Nevada sampler box. The summer version contains a Kolsch, a Pilsner called Nooner (they had a Nooner IPA previously, but what the heck, spread the name around), the hefe weizen called Kellerweis, and the Pale Ale, always with the Pale Ale, as if everyone hasn't already had it. So, is that 3 new beers for the blog? I was sure that I'd done the Keller Weis before, so sure that when we had it on tap at Acadia, I didn't taken notes. But a look through the blog shows no Kellerweis. Was I wrong? A peek at BeerAdvocate.com reveals these notes from August of 2009:
Sierra Nevada Kellerbrau (sic) HefeWeizen
Highly hazed, bright straw yellow color, big bountiful snowy white head.
Lemony aromatics at first, soft spice, light and lovely...creamy hefe weizen yeast in the nose.
Yummy wheat texture, mouthfeel, vast drinkability, enormous refreshment. Floods the mouth and thrills the senses. Light-to-medium bodied. Mellow. Great summer brew. I'll be stocking up while the heat's still ablazing.
Him. Quick and to the point, not spilling over in flowery phrases. Ain't nothing wrong with that. I did neglect to make notes about bananas as well as clove that is de rigeur these days. Can't catch 'em all.
