Ramstein Classic
A very nice rendition of a dark Munich style wheat beer. Although I'd say I enjoy the Weihenstephaner's Dark Hefe-weiss beer a little bit better, High Point's is an extremely enjoyable brew, easy to drink, and is rife with passionate characteristics. Sold in long neck, 12 oz bottle, freshness dated solely by month (my bottle is best before March) and it is suggested that this be served between 35 - 45. Pours a deep brown color with relatively high luminoscity, a relatively small (1/4") head considering its wheat base, a nice tight bright white collar, and minimal lacing. Aroma is highlighted by hints of caramel, coriander and a slight hint of sweet chocolate. These characteristics are well packaged alongside a very nice blend of soothing malts which also presents a certain amount of sweetness. Taste wise, this is a nice dark wheat beer, quite sweet with hints of caramel, toffee, butterscotch, and a nice smooth blend of malts. A reasonable amount of carbonation is also present in this brew, which alongside the smooth malty flavors makes for a nice feeling beer in the mouth. A very drinkable brew with a moderate alcohol level which makes this an easy session beer. It does lack some of the hearty, almost nutty flavors of some of the dark German versions of the brew, but all in all, very very enjoyable.
