Day 8: Eibauer Hefeweizen Hell

Hefeweizen, of course, means a wheat ale. "Hell" would be the equivalent of "light". Not so sure about that second part.

Cloudy and yeasty like any hef, I'd say this was actually very middle of the road as far as colour and robustness, at least for a wheat ale.

Tasted slightly floral with a hint of cloves. Add the yeast component and it was a little like a mildly spicy loaf of bread. Not bad, but not especially inspiring for someone who isn't really inclined towards hefeweizens.

It was interesting, at least. I found myself taking a long time to drink it as I sipped and tried in vain to place some flavour components that were teasing my palate.

Glad I tried it, probably won't go out of my way to repeat the experience, unless I can get some to have with some sort of spiced, baked desert. I have a feeling there's a pairing out there somewhere that is ideal for this stuff. Two steins.
