Beer #64 - Erdinger Weissbrau

Erdinger Weissbrau
www.erdinger.de/en.html

Erdinger has been brewing in Erding, Bavaria since 1886.  They are the largest wheat brewery in the world and brew according to traditional recipes with high tech equipment. 

This wheat beer has a slightly cloudy consistancy with a nice straw golden colour with a big white head which leaves nice lacing.

It smells fresh and light, with the floral and citrus notes of the hops quite apparent with the bitterness and yeastiness a little less apparent.

The flavour is extremely well balanced, with the floral notes coming in at the start with the yeastiness as well.  The bitterness then comes in and the citrus joins for both flavours to linger on the finish.

One of the best balanced wheat beers I've ever had. a definite must try.  As with most wheat beers, it is extremely refreshing and perfect for a nice summer day.
