Ayinger Brau Weisse is a German hefeweizen brewed by Privatbrauerei Franz Inselkammer in Aying Germany.
The Pour
Aaaah. I love beer. This has a wonderful light yellow color and the head froths up eagerly but settles down quickly. The beer itself is nice and cloudy, the way a hefeweizen should be. Even the sound of the bubbles bursting is pleasant and the aroma is classic.
The Taste
Hefeweizens are typically light bodied beers that are a popular way to beat the summer heat. We don't get much in the way of summer heat in San Francisco (plus it's like October, already), but this beer is still mighty tasty. Ayinger has given this a nice mild wheaty flavor with just a hint of sharpness to tease your tongue. The Brau Weisse is a top fermented ale with an alcohol content of 5.1%. That's light enough let you enjoy two or three after working outdoors in the hot sun. The smell is pretty yeasty and there is still quite a lot of settled yeast in the bottom of the bottle that didn't come out when I poured the beer. The yeast in the beer is staying suspended as it should.
Thoughts
This is a nice clean light-colored hefeweizen. The flavor is quite good and the aroma is great. I could definitely drink this again.
Beer me!
