Tried another new beer
« on: March 22, 2009, 06:36:34 AM »
It was Dunkel Weisse. However that's pronounced. Ehhh It's okay, just okay. Poored my first bottle into a clear glass and it looked really cloudy. Like muddy water. After I finished it there was residue at the bottom of the glass. I then realized I poured into the glass I had drank chocolate milk from just a bit earlier.  :rofl :rofl. For some reason, and I think it's because Michelob doesn't really use enough hops are whatever, the beer seems less than full bodied. I don't think I will buy it again.

Dark wheat beer, it's really good.

I've tried Michelob.... it was a low carb but even for a low carb it was pretty average....

Try the German beers, they're great.



That's one of my favourite beers.

Schwarzbier is great... if you find this anywhere, buy it.



Monschoff is really good and this one is just incredible.

It's a shame that it's hard to find.... I'd spend $200 on a case of that without hestitation

Love me Weissbier, never was a fan of the dark stuff though.

Michelob? Surely you jest.



Mmmmmm, Erdinger or Schneider. Staring across the way at the girl from the bank, must have more beer till eyes lose focus and the mind grows dull...

The liquor store right around the corner from my work carries that Kostriker schwartzbier and I buy it all the time.  It's not even expensive as compared to the others that I buy from there also.  I love that stuff.  If I can get it at a random liquor store in Tulsa, it can't really be that hard to find man. 

My favorite is the Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse Dunkel and the Spaten Marzen Oktoberfest beers.  The Salvatore and Optimator are really good too.

Some years back I started to think that I just didn't really like beer.  Turned out however that I just don't like yellow beer.  There's a big big difference.

I'll cop to a bit of beer snobbery I guess.  Basically I just have found what I like and drink it.  I don't look down on people who like other beers though.  I just won't drink stuff that I don't enjoy, what would be the point?

I'm not a beer Snob. I just enjoy a dark or red beer most. Seems to have a fuller flavor and ironically less calories than the generic American beer. Also, I enjoy trying new things. One of the best beers I ever had was from a micro brewery in Nashville. It was dark, rich in flavor, and had somewhat of a nutty strawberry flavor. Another tasty beer was some that my parents brought back from Germany. Wish I could remember the name. It was great!

Beer snobs can only exist because of the piss-colored swill that our publicly-subsidized mega-corporations call "beer."

:aok Yin & Yang Man, Yin & Yang. If it wasn't for people drinking rice-filled crap (yes, rice or sometimes corn as well) we'd be merely beer drinkers, and not beer snobs.  :D

For some reason, and I think it's because Michelob doesn't really use enough hops are whatever, the beer seems less than full bodied. I don't think I will buy it again.

Your next one will be cloudy, also.

Its the wheat used in the mash (lends itself to cloudiness) and the very nature of the beer you bought.  Yeast used to make wheat beer exhibits less flocculation (settling) , therefore stays in suspension more than a regular ale yeast ( DunkleWeisse is an ale and not a Lager).  

The hops contribute absolutely nothing to the body of the beer.  They only add bitterness, aroma, taste.  Although wheat beers are usually lightly hopped  as a rule, this is not why it has less body.

The lack of body is because it is a wheat beer and therefor there is (by traditional German standards) about 50-60% wheat malt in the grain bill.  This will give you less body resulting in a more refreshing, and not heavy (notice I didn't say light) beer.  

The color of a beer does not automatically dictate the body, mouthfeel, or bitterness.  It just means that the brewer used darker malts in the mash.   Most common are the highly kilned malts such as Munich or Vienna-type high-kilned barley malts. Some dark wheat malts may be used. Dark roasted malts are rarely used and then only in very small concentrations. Hops provide a mild bitterness only.
