Impression: Good looking Weizen with a lovely honeycomb hue and less impressive head than their other beers. The fruity nose is restrained but the palate, while quite light, is nicely balanced and refreshing. It’s less cloying than many but it’s not a beer I’d seek to drink on its own. I don’t find a lot of Weizens which fill that description but it’s a fine thirst quencher on a warm day and it goes well with Weisswurst. That’s what I’m having it with right now.
