First Impression
"The World's Oldest Brewery" since 1040! That is amazing. There is no doubting the heritage of this bottle. It couldn't be more unmistakably German if it danced a polka out of the fridge wearing lederhosen and driving an immaculately engineered automobile at truly civilized speeds while singing boisterously in consonants.
Classic wheat beer cloudiness with a white dollop of meringue for head.
Lovely.

First Sip
A surprisingly mild wheat beer! Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier is a nicely drinkable sample of this old Bavarian style. Where generally this variety tends toward sourdough and yeast, this big kindly German is subtle and readily quaffable.

Bottoms Up
Easier, nay, much easier to drink than I had anticipated. This Bavarian darling lends itself to being swallowed down in long thirsty gulps. At 5.4% potency such behavior might make for a short evening at the kneipe! Easy now...
