Maisel’s Weisse Original
Brewed by Brauerei Gebrüder Maisel
Style: Weissbier – Hefeweizen
Bayreuth, Bavaria, Germany
Founded in 1887 by brothers, Eberhardt and Hans Maisel, Brauerei Gebrüder Maisel is a family-owned brewery located in Bayreuth, a small city on the Red Main River in Bavaria, Germany. The brewery is best known for their wheat beer, Maisel Weisse, and is the fourth largest producer of wheat beer in the country, which is some achievement when you consider how the Germans love their Weissbier’s!
The brewery is nowadays run by Jeff Maisel, the fourth generation owner of the family business.
Review: 0,5l bottle of Maisel’s Weisse Original: 5.2% vol.
A beer that has a very high score in a certain beer rating website, a top 50 beer no less.
A nice brown bottle with a lovely looking logo, nothing particularly amazing but the name of the brewery laid out in lovely blue lettering, surrounded by shreds of wheat and hops. Simple but effective. Bottle conditioned.
A cloudy look on pour, producing a hazy orange amber coloured beer, with a decent enough white head appearing. Head is frothy and sticks around. Not a bad looker.
Smell is one of a typical Hefeweizen bier. It is nice and well balanced, getting the clove, the yeast, the fruits and, of course, the wheat! Inviting.
First impressions on the taste was how soft and crisp the beer was, a real lovely velvety feel on the tongue, really smooth and so nice to drink. What a good start!
This beer is so easy to drink and instantly puts you in a very relaxed mood.
Getting all the pure wheat beer tastes, the coriander and the cloves, but ever so soft and fresh on the tongue, Very gentle and smooth in the mouth.
I like this a lot!!! The main fruits are of banana and lemon, the wheat, the hops, and the “cellar yeast”, prominent of course, are all easily detected, all well balanced and in perfect harmony.
Also you get quite a lot in the bottle, love it as I exactly wanted a couple of beers to last a few hours to relax with.
Silky on the tongue, a very solid, well balanced, and highly satisfying beer, liked this one a lot. A perfect beer to relax with. Delicious. Recommended.



Starting small to eventually becoming a bit of a sensation in the brewing world, with all sorts of high jinks and marketing bull. To their credit they have always tried to push the boat out with exciting and innovative styles, using a wide array of mad and exotic ingredients from chilli, honey, chocolate, hemp, and mustard to name but a few. And generally they do tend to get the basics right……ie. their beers are actually quite bloody good, continuing to rake up a tonne of awards and prizes all over the globe.
Taste is what you would expect from the BrewDog guys, all overloaded with hops, but they are all very manageable and well balanced, and very tasty to boot in this one. 
Over time the brewery has changed ownership, and in 1994, saw a coming together of two old Stuttgart breweries, the Dinkelacker Brewery and Schwaben Brau resulting in The Dinkelacker-Schwaben Brau GmbH & Co. KG been formed.
On the can get a nice logo of the brewery, the Wulle Biere in distinctive red, easy to spot.
A very smooth beer to drink and you get a lot in the can so plenty to enjoy.
Lapin Kulta (Lapland Gold) is a Finnish beer brand and brewery from the Lapland town of Tornio. Founded in 1873, the brewery is now run by Hartwell Ltd, a Finnish beverage company, as part of the Royal Unibrew group.
My first beer tryout from Finland. The beer uses an original recipe that dates back more than 140 years ago and brewed from the icy water of Lapland. This should be interesting!
Also getting some floral hops in the taste that were a little bit too sweet, kind of giving it a soapy taste, which wasn’t terrible just a little strange!
It all started in 1788, when daddy François Piller, owner of the “Zum Lachs” inn, in the town of Fribourg, decides to have a brewery built for his son, who just recently graduated as a Bavarian master brewer, a nice fatherly thing to do (if you have the money!).
Available to buy in Coop, one of Switzerland’s largest discount stores.
I like it, very smooth, a nice light bodied lager that is so very easy to drink. But fuck all in the bottle! Lots of malts and barley, grains, all balanced very well, mild hops, no bitterness or offensive tastes.
