Beer Review -
Appearance: Cloudy yellow-amber color with beautiful thick white head that lasts while you drink. Looks just like what a quality wheat beer should.
Smell: Soft citrus and fruit followed by a very nice wheat beer smell, delicious.
Initial Taste: Citrus hits the tongue first followed by delicious wheat and malt. Exactly how a good hefeweizen should taste.
Thoughts: Fantastic representation of it’s style. If you are looking for a quality hefeweizen that tastes of citrus and is very easy to drink with very little bite and nice wheat flavors…this is the one. We reccomend drinking this beer how it’s meant to be enjoyed, in a wheat beer glass. This glass can also double as your pilsner glass, a staple for beer drinkers. This is my personal favorite hefeweizen.

Beer Review -
Appearance: Cloudy bright orange-yellow color. Poured a nice thick white head that faded quickly.
Smell: Very yeasty scent with strong orange and citrus. Smelled a lot like other Belgian tripel ales.
Initial Taste: Fruity flavors come first, orange, lemon definite citrus. The fruitiness gives way to malt, yeast and warm bread with a slight wine-like flavor. Very similar to other beers of this style.
Thoughts: This was a pleasure to drink. Our favorite beer from the St. Bernardus lineup. The fruity malt flavors are wonderfully balanced with the soft notes of warm biscuits and sweet hops. Surprisingly with the alchohol content being 8% you barely notice it. The after taste is light and fruity with a slight hop bitterness. While I wouldn’t consider this (or any Belgian ale) to be a session beer you can easily drink more than one without becoming overwhelmed with flavor.

Appearance: Cloudy red-brown color with sediment on the bottom. Thick 3 finger head.
Smell: Pleasant sweet scents of warm bread, malt and raisins.
Initial Taste: A very malty beer with flavors of fruit, bread, raisins and slight boozy aftertaste.
Thoughts: This was a strong beer with full flavors lasting long after you have finished the beer. The bitter hoppiness is balanced well with the doughy sweet flavors. This is a good beer but not the best out of the St. Bernardus lineup. The bitterness of this particular selection of St. Bernardus is much stronger the rest of their beers.
