A deep unfiltered beer with a lot of sediment making for a very dense look of orange, so dense that it looks almost grayish.

A small rough head.

A deep wheat aroma, some fruit to it and for some strange reason a tad of pouridge…

Good CO2, light and watery in the taste, weak fruit with a medium after taste.

A gigantic head of fine bubbles with even finer bubbles on top.

A sweet wheat with a little fruit in the aroma.

Low CO2, sweet in the taste but can come off a little neutral or watery. There is no after taste what so ever. Still a pretty decent taste for a non-alcoholic beer.

Indslev Bryggeri – Frederiks Jul

GS6A6009

At some point the brewery was closed down, but in 2005 restored to former glory with brand new production equipment. The re-opening was made possible by Anders Busse Rasmussen, grand grand nephew of Frederik Christian Rasmussen.

I bought this beer in a the super market Brugsen in Odense, Denmark at the price of 3 Euro for a 500ml bottle at 6,5%.

Red with brown tones in this unfiltered beer with a good look to it.

Large and rough head with a lid of fine bubbles.

Weak fruit and a dominating bitter flowery scent from the hops.

Okay CO2, bitter fruit, some darkness, a hard flowery taste with even more bitterness in the end. A little too bitter for me with a sweet taste to play in. The label promised darkness and notes of tropical fruits, I do not think they made it all the way to the goal.

Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier non-alcoholic

GS6A5010

This wheat beer comes from the Paulaner brewery located at Munich in the southern Bayern.

Paulaner have been making beer here since 1634, the brewery was established by the Minim friars of the Neudeck ob der Au cloister. The order and brewery are named after the founder of the order, Francis of Paola. The brewery have since the start changed hands four times and today is owned by a holding company where a venture company along with Heineken owns it.

Beautiful yellow and orange beer with a heavy unfiltered feel to its flow, there is also a lot of sediment.

Big head with a fine top that disperses into a thin layer.

Good fruit aroma and some wheat comes in over it, a little too subtle.

Medium CO2 that gives a good life to the wheat and fruit notes, a little to the sweet side in the overall taste and a tad too thin with the risk of being a little watery, overall a soft taste that lacks a little bite to overcome the lack of alcohol to play into the picture. However it is still a good non-alcoholic weissbier.

Overall rating is 76 / 100
