Name: Weihenstephaner Original
Brewer: Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan (Freising, Germany)
Classification: Munich Helles Lager
Alcohol: 5.1%
Thoughts: I have yet to come across a brewery with a name as difficult to pronounce as Weihenstephaner. I still can't do it. Despite that fact this is well known for being the Oldest Brewery in the World, and also one of the best breweries in all of the Fatherland. Their original bier pours a crystal golden yellow with a gigantic fluffy white head. The aroma was musty, mild lemon peel, and a smell that I could only label as sweet grain. But the taste! Oh the taste! It is a well rounded, incredibly structured piece of beer art! The beer is crisp, dry and refreshing. The body is soft and delicate. The spicy floral hops finish neatly. This beer is very drinkable. This is one of the finest Munich Helles Lagers I've ever had.
Rating: 90/100
