Perlenbacher – Hefe Weissbier

Leave a reply

Perlenbacher is a brand of the supermarket Lidl. It is brewed by Frankfurter Brauerei.

I bought this weissbier from a German supermarket, on the island of Rügen. The price for this 500 ml plastic bottled beer, at 5,5% alcohol was 0.45 Euro.

Beautiful yellow and orange in the color. A nice little head, coarse foam that dissipates quickly.

Aroma comes off with a sweet scent, a tiny bit of wheated fruit notes to it. Some bitterness from hops, makes it seem a bit off.

Low CO2 level, sweet, but very thin and watery. After taste is a weird feeling of eating flour and yeast.

Overall experience is not great. Simply too low quality beer. Plastic bottles are not suitable for beer. Feels like this beer had been opened for a day in the fridge.

Svaneke – Blanca Belgian Wheat Ale

Leave a reply

Beautiful yellow with deep orange notes to the color. Medium sized head with fine foam on top.

Aroma comes off with a distinct wheat sensation and a bit of hops and sweet fruit. Could be stronger.

Low CO2, very sweet and fruited. A bit of hops, and overall balanced. Aftertaste has the ale darkness and a slight bitterness to it.

Eventyr Bryg – Fynsk Hvede – Kejserens Nye Klæder

I received this beer as a birthday gift from my family, hence price for this glass bottled 500 ml beer at 5.9% is unknown.

Clear light brown in the color and with a great big head. Fine foam on top and staying on the beer.

Some sweetness to the aroma, but mostly dominated by hops. Clearly not a weissbier, but more witbier, especially with its added citrus and heath.

Good CO2 level, very dark and bitter in the taste. Not at all a wheated beer, more citrus and hops shines through. A thin darkness in the aftertaste.

A clear and dark wheat beer, with less sweetness. A lager with added spices, does not pass as a mainly wheat oriented beer in my book.

Bad Seed Brewing – Lobotomy

I bought this canned witbier at a local bar in Odense, Denmark, at the price of 9 Euro for a 440 ml can at 4.7% alcohol.

Thick flowing and orange in the color. Like orange juice. Nice white foam on top of the head.

Delicious fruited aroma with powerful hops mixed in. Citrus notes spices the scent.

Good CO2 level, delicious taste with a full bodied citrus experience. After taste does not disappoint, balances all the different components well.

This 330 ml glass bottled beer at 5.7% alcohol level was gifted to me from family, as a birthday present, price unknown.

Thick flowing, deep brown and unfiltered like rye porridge.

No head or foam.

Aroma is dominated by the alcohol but also has notes of darkness to it.

Good CO2 level, balances will with the darkness and alcohol. Not so much fruit in the taste, from the wheat.

Brown color beer with orange notes to it, slightly hazy. No head or foam.

The aroma comes off with a smoked fruit. Which makes sense from the smoked barley.

Good CO2 level. Smoked wheated fruit in the taste with a slight bitterness. Alcohol does take over the after taste too much. Has some dark ale notes in the after taste as well.

Beautiful yellow and white in the colour.

Gigantic sized head with a fine foam on the top.

Powerful and balanced fruit aroma with peaks of fruited, flowery and sweet hops.

Danevang – Julewit

Leave a reply

Skanderborg Bryghus is located in Skanderborg, Denmark. This brewery was established in 2015.

I bought this beer at a local supermarket in Odense, Denmark. Price is guessed to be around 4 Euro. This biodynamic beer comes in a 500 ml glass bottle at 4.8% alcohol.

It flows thick as porridge, it very hazy and yellow in the color. Head and foam disappears fast.

Aroma is pretty anonymous. A hint of wheat, that is all.

Good CO2 level. Delicious wheaten fruit notes and full bodied taste. Thins out in the after taste, but good balance. It should have been branded as a weissbier, as it resembles that more, than a witbier.

Overall rating 77 / 100.

I bought this 500 ml bottled wheat beer with added elderflower cordial, at 4.9% alcohol, in a wine shop in Rudkøbing, Langeland, Denmark at the price of 6 Euro.

The presentation of the beer is great. Thick hazy yellow with orange notes.

A medium sized head with a fine foam.

Fruity and elderflower in the medium strength aroma.

Powerful CO2, a sweet fruit dominates the taste. Aftertaste is a bit more mysterious with notes of dark ale.

Lowlander is a brewery located in the Netherlands. Lowlander brews with botanicals, meaning they put a large range of herbs and fruit into their brews. Founded by Frederik Kampman in around 2017 – 2018, as age of brewery is only given in years on their website, who knows?

I bought this 330 ml bottle at 5% from a wine shop in Odense, Denmark at the price of 4 Euro.

Light yellow in the colour with a white tone to it. There is a few big chunks of sediment, be careful with drinking bottoms up.

No head or very little foam.

Medium strength aroma that has a sweet and fresh fruit aroma, good balance with the hops.

Okay CO2 level, dominating wheat in the taste with notes of sweet fruit, just a slight hint of citrus and bitterness. Good balance.
