Kapuziner Schwarz-Weizen
The Germans have created a Bavarian Black Wheat Ale. As a huge fan of the weizen style I was “uber” excited about this beer. I expected an unfiltered ale with crisp citrusy overtones, with hints of carmel and malt to darken and deepen the taste. NOPE! I spilled 2/3 of the glass before the ale ever crossed my lips so I should have taken that as a sign of things to come. It was watered down and my tongue was overrun with smokiness. I expect the smokehouse flavor from the more traditional dark beers but I had not anticipated it in this beer; in fact it took away any satisfaction I may have gotten from drinking it. I’m just glad I didn’t have to drink the whole thing.
