Third bottle of Kombine. Braupakt was super (especially on draft) so there are high hopes for Kombine. Fluffy head on a orange, hazy (unfiltered) body. Head retention isn't the best, but the lace is good. Yeasty, bready orange notes on the nose and...
When I first heard about this beer I was excited. How could one not be? A collaboration between these two? It has to be great, right? Right?? Of course, I've seen enough collaborations between two high-powered, well-respected breweries to know that...
When a certain type of beer is called for (or craved), you just can't substitute it with anything else. This is one such beer. 11.2 oz bottle. Golden body with a light haze and a modest head that has some lingering retention and a little lace. I'd...
Canned version, sold with the stein (pictured) in a gift pack in 2022. $10.99 for the combo. Right now I am somewhat unconvinced that this is a different beer to this one, but the ABVs are different (this at 4.8%, the Original at 5.1%) and they...
Having had this last year at Thanksgiving and been lukewarm on it, I thought I would try it again this year. People seemed to be saying that the 2011 vintage was 'better', but I don't think there has been a recipe change so that confused me....
Elaborate bottle that I acquired for the somewhat bargain basement price of $16.99. Delighted to get it for that kind of money since there seems to have been a very mixed reception for this beer. Poured into the champagne flute, the appearance...
12 oz single from Total Wine, Perimeter, Atlanta, GA, USA. Poured into the Tücher Weizen glass (not pictured, rather the picture shown is from 08/15/21) , the color is alarmingly light for the style, IF we were talking a Märzen (we're not, BTW!)....
Additional notes 02/02/23 (pictured) Still an amazingly drinkable beer with rich, deep flavors that coupled with the alcohol offer once of those deeply satisfying experiences. Vitus has been a favorite now for the best part of 20 years for me, and...
Additional notes 07/08/24 Still coming in at 5.1% which does make it a different beer to this. This bottle cost be $4.99 in 2024 as opposed to $2.49 from approx. 18 years ago. Nothing more than an observation there. Lovely color, a little more...
Additional notes 07/08/24 Pictured. $4.99 for the bottle these days! That head is still magnificent, the beer still gives that muted banana note, and very light, drying spice in far back end. If I'm honest, not may favorite style, but it's...
Additional notes 07/09/24 Pictured. I still get a lot of apple in the nose, really quite a pronounced cider note. This manifests itself a little less in the tastes these days but it's certainly there. Still doesn't thrill me compared to many others...
Additional notes 07/10/24 Pictured. As ever it always seems to drink heavier than that 7.4, with a malt base that's hard to match among any other beers. It's never 'roasty' for me, rather always rich and dense. Tiny coffee notes probe a bit,...
Again, I think this is a question of what sytle of beer you enjoy most. Certainly if you are a big fan of Hefe's in general you are probably going to love this stuff. For me, it's undoubtably a fine example, but not necessarily one I am going to be...
