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.
