- Bischofshof Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel: Orange attack. Almond tones. Clean
(almost empty) mid, though this isn't unpleasant, with lovely nutty
finish. It's like a Hefeweizen that tastes good!
- Bischofshof Pilsner: Not offensive, but not very good either. A mix of
insipid attack coupled with an unpleasant after taste.
- Bischofshof Hefe-Weissbier Hell: "Hell" in German apparently means "not-memorable", for that is what this beer was. Inoffensive, but not spectacular.
- Bischofshof Kristall Weizen: Filtered wheat bear. Inoffensive, but
tastes like just about every other sort of hefe-weissen.
- Bischofshof Urhell: Unpleasant metallic after taste. For that matter, it has somewhat of an unpleasant metallic fore taste, as well.
- St. Bernardus Tripel: Not very interesting, but not offensive. Lead in is pleasant enough, but then the finish is uninteresting. I suppose you could call it "clean" if you wanted to be generous.
- Marke Weltenburger Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel: Fairly uninspiring, but inoffensive. For a dunkel, surprisingly tasteless.
- Hopf Dunkle Weisse Hefe Weizen: Caramel molasses scent. Lovely toasty-nutty malt taste. Some citrus notes. Slightly bitter finish, but really very pleasant.
- Paulaner Munchen Hefe-Weizen Natural Wheat: Slightly yeasty nose. Tart, clean, with malt finish. Quite nice.
- Rogue Double Dead Guy Ale: Slightly hoppy, very sweet, honey taste. A good beer, but not all that I had been led to believe.
- Edelweiss Weissbier: This is a beer that I fell in love with in the 2002 time frame, but then the importer stopped bringing it to the US. I've started seeing it again recently. Yeasty scent, slight Gewürztraminer scent. Lively bright taste, hints of berry. Malty finish. Lingering metallic malt notes. Solid.
- Marke Weltenburger Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel: First try: Fairly uninspiring, but inoffensive. For a dunkel, surprisingly tasteless. second try: I'm not sure what the problem was last time, but this time, the beer is lovely. There's a cherry smell that's on the edge of being something unpleasent. Earth tones. Metallic mid. Aftertaste is a bit off tasting.
