Weltenburger Kloster Urtyp Hell
Presented in a 500ml bottle just like the one pictured. Poured into an imperial pint glass. The coloration was a slightly hazed pale gold with moderate carbonation and topped by a brilliant white head that almost looked fake. Scant wisps of lace speckled the glass as the head gradually collapsed down to a thin collar. The nose was unassuming and, aside from some fruitiness and floral notes, was really marginal. A lurking sour aroma caught my attention and was not well received. The taste luckily didn't carry the sourness picked up in the smell. Some modest sweet malt flavor made its presence felt before the gradual build-up of herbal hops commenced. Some light citrus flavor was noted also. The feel was light, crisp and clean. This must be what Germans have in mind as a lawnmower bier. Light, refreshing but not sporting a whole lot of taste. Still, on a hot day I'd wouldn't mind reaching for one of these.
