Ayinger Brau-Weisse:
‘Ello luvs and welcome back to your one and only website that doesn’t discriminate against beer.  Well, maybe against some, particularly those that say “malt liqour” and “high gravity” on the same tallboy or 40 oz. magnum.  Ugh.  Anyway let’s look at an authentic Brau-weisse from Privatbrauerei Franz Inselkammer KG / Brauerei Ayinger…ummm let’s just call them Ayinger if we need to refer to it again.  This bottle contains one of the most popular beers in the world, an unfiltered wheat beer and I will admit, I do have the occasional weakness for this type of beer, mainly because it carries a great palate pleasing flavor profile.  The beer pours a pale golden color with a finely bubbled white head of foam with some lacing and nose of sweet bananas and subtle wheat notes.  The beer’s taste is very similar to the nose though there is bit more creaminess and lemon notes to the beer’s mid tongue than I’m used in a beer like this and the amount of carbonation keeps things lively, effervescent, and champagne like in it‘s feel.  It does seem odd to me that while I have been doing these reviews that the Hefeweizen style has fallen from a favorite type of beer to one that I’m kind of burned out on but beer’s like this remind me that there are good hefes out there and it makes me want to more until I‘m burned out on them again.   A vicious cycle indeed.  Cheers!
