Meckatzer Löwenbräu – Weizen

The brewery Meckatzer Löwenbräu goes back to 1738, the brewery was originally just named Löwenbräu but have to give up the name in the start of the 1900 hundred to the Munich brewery Brauerei Löwenbräu. Since 1853 the brewery has been owned by the Weiß family and today it is run by the 4th generation Michael Weiß.

I bought this beer from a German webshop at the price of 1,49 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 5,2%

This unfiltered beer has a nice light orange color. Medium sized head, foam with a rough structure that disappears rather fast.

Good sweet fruit in the aroma, with the freshness of the hops.

Powerful CO2, sweet fruit notes and ends up in fresh hops and wheat in the after taste.

Overall rating 80 / 100

Bryggeriet Frejdahl – Miklasgaard – Mango Witbier

Frejdahl is the brand result from a cooperation between brewer Christoph Behnke and designer Jim Lyngvild. The beer is brewed at Bryggeriet Vestfyen, located in Assens, Denmark. Bryggeriet Vestfyen has been in operating since 1885.

I bought this beer in a local supermarket, Odense, Denmark. Completely lost track of its price. This mango witbier comes in a 500 ml bottle at 4.8% alcohol.

Beautiful hazy yellow and orange in the color. Fine foam on top of the head.

Sweet and fruitful wit aroma with a distinct mango scent to it.

A tad too low CO2 to the not so powerful taste. It has a good balance between the sweet fruit and the bitterness of the hops.

Overall rating 80 / 100

Alaryk – Blanche

Alaryk craft brewery is located in Béziers, France. Alaryk was founded in 2017 by Sébastien Alary and Jean-Olivier Rieusset. Their goal was to create beer that would be found in wine shops.

I got this beer as a birthday gift from my family. Hence the price is unknown. The biodynamic beer comes in a 330 ml bottle at 4.5% alcohol.

Very active CO2 that makes pouring a bit of a challenge. Huge head that quickly disperses back into a thin layer.

Beautiful hazy yellow in the color.

Dry and bitterness in a deep fruity aroma. Scents and sharpness of nature wine and yeast.

Powerful CO2 in when drinking. A funny softness and wine-like texture to the taste. Tender taste, fresh and with a too short after taste.

Overall rating 84 / 100
