Mahr's Weisse
Purchased a .5L bottle at my local Glendora BevMo. Poured into my beloved Weihenstephan weissebier glass. Appearance: cloudy pale golden coloring; tons of carbonation briefly stoked a tall snow white head before it collapsed in on itself, leaving a ghostly ring of lace. Smell: modest aromas of yeasty malts, vanilla, and clove. Not able to pick up any banana aroma. Taste: dry hayfield maltiness yields to a bready malt taste. Slightly spicy with clove and vanilla flavors but none of the flavors were all that pronounced. Feel: light, crisp, refreshing and very tingly on the tongue thanks to all that carbonation. Overall, a decent, though not great hefeweizen. Definitely a good one on a hot summer day. Recommended.
