Hopf Spezial Weisse Wins Me Over

By putting the shelf in the picture and broadcasting it for all to see, I'm hoping to motivate myself towards finishing this woodcraft project tonight that I've been slowly building up...but alas, I hit a road block late-night and will finish Tuesday, so pictures then! It promises to be cool and a departure from my fairly straight forward book cases and tables.

So I've had the Weisser Bock, but this special hefe is a fall seasonal beer I found at Whole Foods and the difference maker is the addition of caramel malts, which gives the bier it's reddish hue (rather than the standard golden hefe color) as well as a nice clove aroma. There is a big, sweet doughy flavor that creates a strong presence on teh pallet but finishes clean. I enjoyed this more than the Weisser Bock and that was pretty good. It's on sale for under $5 and was quite delicious. TRANSFORMERS rating

Hopf Weisser Bock

The style is a Weizenbock, which is technically a Dunkel Weizen with a higher alcohol level. However, it's reddish in color and is much lighter than the Franziskaner Dunkel Weisse I had yesterday afternoon. A citrus aroma is followed by a full bodied hefe, but I thought it lacked in a taste palate. Now, as far as brothers go, Warren D liked how it finished.

Don Draper isn't that impressed. Get out and give me 20 ideas for a post. NOW

It's perfectly amiable, like a neighbor who walks his dog every morning by your house. He waves, but you don't know him. You wave back but don't attend his bbq. He's friendly but innocuous. TRANSFORMERS rating
