Added by Keith

From Hofbräu München: Once upon a time, Weissbier could only be brewed by ducal privilege. Hofbräuhaus enjoyed this exclusive right for nearly 200 years, thus holding a monopoly on Weissbier in Bavaria.

But even without a monopoly, Münchner Weisse is a really special kind of beer. What could be more pleasurable than quenching your thirst with a deliciously yeasty Weissbier, and savouring the tingling, fizzy sensation in your mouth? With an alcoholic content of around 5.1% volume, it’s pure, refreshing enjoyment.

Type: Top-fermented Weissbier, aka Weizenbier (from Weizen = wheat)

Creamy, Smooth, Sweet, Wheat, Fruity

    Pours to a nice, cloudy golden with a fluffy white head. First impression is one of a very tasty, semi-sweet but almost creamy and rich wheat. It’s smooth with apple or pear highlights. Has a heavier body than I’d expected, but I like that. A very, very good hefewizen.

    Characteristics: apple creamy fruit rich wheat

    This is definitely one of my favorite German beers. A great example of a true German hefewizen, with just the right amount of sweetness.

    Characteristics: creamy smooth sweet
