Welcome to I Taste Your Beer, promoting a new and underappreciated craft beer, mead, or cider every day! Every one of these is videos is a promotion for beer paid for by a brewer, distributor, or other beer-related sponsor. They reserve a day, send me beer, and I give you just the facts about the beer. I try my best to be completely impartial and leave the superlatives out, but every so often, one sneaks in – I’m doing my best.
Today, I’m pumped to try some Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier (no one said I couldn’t be excited about my job)!
I’m pretty much profiling Weihenstephan’s entire line of beers on the site. Total Beverage Solutions sponsored a bunch of days to start this project off and I’ve got a bunch of international offerings to check out in February.
The Weihenstephan website says that this beer goes well with veal sausage. I don’t know about you, but I probably have had veal sausage once in my life. Maybe they could give us better ideas for food pairing, yeah? Veal sausage is a pretty specific foodstuff. I guess saying schnitzel might have been just as specific? You can make chicken schnitzel, but it’s just not the same. You need that veal.
Right now, it’s taking me about seven hours to create each one of these posts. Video, blog, pics – seven hours. A lot of this month is probably going to be me talking about how I’m learning how to do it better and faster, but for now, seven hours is a lot of time for $25. I don’t know how the shirt guys do it.
Just The Facts
Appearance: Creamy dark golden pour, quite hazy
Smell: Wheat, citrus, hay
Taste: Sweeter than a typical Hefe, light roasty/malty flavors
Mouthfeel: The sugary sweetness makes it medium bodied toward the full bodied side
Drinkability: Not a session beer, but quite smooth
