Moosbacher Weissbier
Rating: 1 out of 10
Let me start out by saying I love me some Weissbier. I bought this in Lees Summit in October last year and kept it in my stash not cellared for 5 months before I cooled it. A cellar in La. would be a pool under your house. The price tag on the bottle had a code on top of 08070216 which tells me that is was put on the shelf on Aug.2 2007 [39 years of retail taught me something]. It was at least 6 months old not counting the transportation time. The label said to store it below 50 F. which wasn't done in the store either. I'm kind of like Scrooge McDuck in like I like to store things and just have them, I can't swim in them like he does with his money. This does not work with beer in general and as I have found out wheats in particular.
I'll go ahead since I filled out the form and feel like must do something to account for my time. These 2 months off have really changed me [when's Scrubs, Dr. Phil and Oprah on?] .
Beer temp. 46.7F-8.3C it poured a clear gold with a large 2 in. white head. On the 2nd pour [since I had a .5L bottle and a 12 oz. pils. glass] it became muddy, should have agitated it first. The head was fizzy and dissipated quickly with virtually no lacing. Aromas were biscuit, honey, grain, grapefruit,grass, soap and banana. Initial taste was light sweet and tart. The taste were grapefruit, lemon and something I couldn't place but it wasn't a good one, maybe it was the soap [it's been a long tame since mom put soap in my mouth for bad words and have bee trying to forget the taste ever since]. I look for balance and harmony of the elements but how can you balance and harmonize BAD? I poured out the last and kept the bottle which looks like the .5L Grolsch fancy bottle you see in the cooler with the wire and the ceramic stopper. I feel that this is probably a much better beer and most of the fault was mine but I can only report what I tasted. Since we usually only give zeros to beers we pour out I gave it a giant bonus point for the bottle.
