Ayinger Brauweisse

What the brewers say

“The classic Bavarian unfiltered wheat beer—golden, fruity, and thirst-quenching.”

What our panel thought

“Pours hazy yellow with a big white head of dense foam. The aroma has strong fruit esters and spice with a background of wheat malt and a bit of dank hops aroma. Strongly fruity with a surprising citrus tartness.”

What our editors thought

“An unfortunate whiff of oxidation on the nose—a mix of sweetness, old milk, and long overripe fruit. On the palate, it’s a bit more enjoyable, with bright carbonation and subtle lemon and lime notes.”
