Premium Weizen

They may have been bought up but are certainly keeping up the quality with this relatively new Bavarian-style wheat beer, which raised eyebrows by beating several German producers in blind tastings at the 2007 World Beer Cup. My sample of this Reinheitsgebot-compliant brew came from Asda.

It’s an -yellow beer with a good white head and a tangy citric clove aroma with vanilla and drying phenols. The slightly sweet and citric palate is chewy and pippy but without any hop flavours. The texture is a little thin but the flavour is substantial with rounded and strawberry notes. A light, fresh and tangy finish sustains chewy hops and plums. Overall the beer is impressively well balanced, full bodied but refreshing — you can understand how it challenged the Germans.

    Hi my wife and i were in Amsterdam again last week and i had a glass of Grolsch Weizen next to the town hall in the unseasonably warm sunny weather . It was a very nice wheat beer ,after serving in what was West Germany in the eighties i enjoy a good wheat beer and the Grolsch offering was very good quality . I am now looking where in the UK sells this beer but as yet have been unable to find it on sale or online ? Please help me
    Kind Regards and Seasons Greetings Paul Heald

    Great you enjoyed the beer, Paul, but I’m not a stockist or importer, so have no idea where you could now find the beer in the UK.
