Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen
A-Deep reddish brown hue with a tight thick head that reduces to thin lacing. Unreal clarity, I did not expect this from a weizen. S-Strong but not overwhelming smoky aroma. A nice sweet maltiness with a mild sourness. T-Smoke not as strong in the palate as in the nose. A nice sour twang plus faint clove hits at the same time. Malty with a touch of sweetness. M-Medium-light body, clean and crisp. Quite smooth with a nice creaminess. D-I'm a rauch beer fan and this one certianly does not disappoint. A ligher version than the Ur-bock but this does not detract. A very pleasant brew that went nicely with my spicy fish tacos!
