Wiesen Edel-Weisse

Wiesen Edel-Weisse has a lot of Georg Schneiders involved in its history. It's a German wheat beer, brewed according to the Bavarian Purity Law. The label is packed with history and annotations.

I had the beer with flatbread crackers and sliced tomato, in a stemless wine glass. It was very effervescent, with a thin head and a deep golden colour. The first sniff was fruity and aromatic, and the first taste was tart and a little bit fruity. The tart stuck around, along with an untoasted grain flavour and the prickly bubbles. The flavour was crisp and almost champagne-y. I found it quite refreshing (a friend and I had been putting down floor before stopping for a beer), and pretty different from other refreshing beers. I would go out of my way to get this beer again during the summer and/or when planning to do more sweaty renovations.
