Waitrose, Bavarian Dark Wheat Beer (Germany)
Brewed for Waitrose by Arcobräu in Bavaria, this beer has a rich brown, cloudy colour with quite a tight white head. the nose has the spice and floral aspects of many wheat beers, but there is an extra dimension of chocolate giving support. On the palate it is quite thick textured and creamy, though the flavour is a touch weak; it has quite good tart, hoppy flavours and bright fruit that is enjoyable, even though it falls away rather quickly. 5.3% ABV, 50cl, �1.25, Waitrose. |  |
Waitrose, Bavarian Wheat Beer (Germany)
Brewed for Waitrose by Arcobräu in Bavaria, this yeasty wheat beer pours a cloudy caramel colour, with a thick, but quickly disippating off-white head. It has a very nice, typical bavarian wheatbeer aroma, with that faintly elastoplast character, cloves and banana-like, clean fruit. On the palate it is thick and silky-textured, with a very clean, pure fruit character, and lots of spices and apple character coming through. Long and beautifully balanced, this is a cracking supermarket own-label beer. 5.3% ABV, 50cl, �1.39, Waitrose. |  |
