Rhönbrauerei Dittmar Rhöner Weisse

Brewery: Rhönbrauerei Dittmar
Town: Kaltennordheim in Franconian Thuringia
Style: Weizen 5.2%
Color: honeycomb
Head: white, bready, rocky, chiffon-like, yeasty
Nose: fruity, yeasty
Body: medium
Palate: balanced, fruity, citrusy, yeasty
Finish: lingering, semi-dry, very slightly bitter

Served: from a bottle bought at the brewery

Impression: Super looking Weizen with an ample chiffon-like head and light fruity/yeasty nose. The balanced palate is similarly fruity. The lingering finish is quite dry for the style, avoiding the cloying quality not untypical of the style while adding only a hint of bitterness. If a notch fuller flavored, this could be a favorite in the Franconian Weizen category for me.

Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature.
