HefeWeissbier by Weihenstephaner is a 5.4%ABV World Class German Hefeweizen. Considered the best German Hefeweizen in the world

RATE BEER DESCRIPTION:
Nothing refreshes you more than this naturally cloudy wheat beer with its wonderful yeasty fragrance and taste. Goes well with dishes that do not have too intensive a flavour, especially that Bavarian speciality ‘Weisswurst’ or white sausage.

What a perfect way to rate that the best Hefeweizen in the world is made none other than the World’s Oldest Brewery (Since 1040) in Germany. A very common beer in many of the most common craft beers stores and can you believe, this is the first time I am trying it and to put the cherry on top, Hefeweizen style was my first favorite style around the time I started beer reviews. Crazy huh? Anyways, on to the review.

Aromas are dead on rich Banana cloves, with this one seems to have honey, vanilla, bubble gum, toffee, caramel, citrus, lemon, wheat, banana bread, peppery notes, caramel apple and butterscotch. The flavors are of Bananas, draped in honey, caramel, lemon, orange, peppercorns, bubble gum, wheat, banana bread, banana cream and biscuit bread. Simply amazing. No chance for comparison, even people who fathom the idea of what an awesome hefeweizen is supposed to be like have no idea what a REAL GERMAN HEFF is supposed to taste like. This is the best Hefeweizen I have ever had, but my love still goes out to the Hefeweizen Dunkel. The one made by Weihenstephaner and Franziskaner are the best. I’m a nut for more sweeter beers.

Gorch Fock by Three Floyds is a 5.2% ABV Munich Helles Lager. This style originated from the need to come up with a German “light” beer so that people would not seek Czech Pilsners as a ligh beer alternative. These beers are light in color and generally sweeter due to the malts

Label:

A light golden colored Franconian style Helles Lager. With a slightly sweet malt body, a noble hop profile and a crisp finish this beer is as traditional as we’ll ever get.

The fragrance is of pilsnery grains with some of the sweet peppercorn fragrances, spices, apples, honey and floral with some reminiscent spices like that of Allagash Curiex. This beer almost drinks like Curiex or like an Oktoberfest beer. Some honey biscuit bread, citrus, cereal, pilsner, peppercorn, graham crackers, and apples, grassy but crisp and refreshing hop bitterness. This would go good for like a summer day. The beer is pretty good and way more flavorful than an average lager beer and is quite drinkable too. Since it carries so much flavor yet it is still a lighter beer than most, it is definitely worth trying for those wanting to see what certain gateway craft beers are like.
