I just don't get you. Why would you review a beer that you don't do the remotest, most minimal amount of research on at all? You could have at least practiced a pour before recording your abominable pour. You might be unbiased, but you're incredibly foolish and boring.
I must admit- the first time I was introduced to Wiezenbier (in Germany!) I didn't get it either. The taste is different... after a few more I was hooked and that was 25 years ago!
Hey man, I just stumbled upon your review and I can't figure out if it's a parody or not. I would lean toward "yes" seeing that you have a ridiculous laugh track playing in the background. I can't believe you would seriously not like this beer. It's the classic hefeweizen; my favorite of the style by far.
I thought this tool bag said "I was taste testing the Rickard's White, it's the exact same product owned by Coors..." Really, it's the exact same product? Are you claiming that Weihenstephan brews it's Weißbier and sells it to Coors? Then Coors turns around and sells it as Blue Moon? Look douche bag, Blue Moon is a Belgian style wit beer. Weihenstephaner Hefe Weißbier is from Bavaria, Germany. It's not even close to the same thing as a wit beer.
You know nothing about beer. Weihensteph is a classic bavarian beer, its a standard. At least now you know you don't like bavarian beer, but man to exclaim a disbelief that anyone would want to drink it? The real question is who would really want to hang out with you. Your a pinhead.
This is a reaction of an idiot tasting a fine beer. You gives advices like:"stay away from the cans (brew-kits)". I have advice for you: STAY AWAY FROM THE BEER !!! Because you have no idea about it.
At first I thought this was a real review. It seemed like you knew what you were doing for the first minute. Then the camera panned out, you added a laugh track, and spent the next half of the video saying this beer tastes too "bready". It's strange you're one of the only people to say its horrible.
I tried this beer last night. It tastes like most wheat beers. There are no off flavors, and I don't think the flavors that are supposed to be in it are all that strong. There is nothing good or bad that would cause your gag reflex to go off. I liked it, and would buy it again. So, if you like wheat beers you'll like this one, it's that simple.
out of 1,406 reviews the Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier that you "reviewed" has a rating of A+ on beer advocate com you are the one person that dosent like it you just dont know what real craft beer taste like cause you are now reviewing a cheap ass lager claiming it got all these reviews, it might have got all those back in the 80-90s when no one knew what craft beers were so just take some advice and stop reviewing beers because you are a disgrace to the beer culture
@RPaulmagnuson I couldn't agree more. I just drank one of these and it was amazing. It seems like it would be great to drink with some bratwurst. This guy is a douchebag.
Wheat, yes. Belgian Wit (which is what Blue Moon/Rickard's White is), no. These are to totally different styles. Check out the style guidelines at the bjcp site to see the differences between the styles. Other than color and wheat haziness the two styles don't have much of anything in common. Clove/banana is a staple of the style. If you're looking for a good Wit at a decent price, find Hoegaarden.
even if you don't like this beer, (because everyone has there own taste) its one of the easiest drinking beers in the world, your reaction is way over the top. your wife was much closer than you were. clove is right on... "you don't know how anyone would buy this" there the oldest brewery in the world, they must be doing something right. so much for honest reaction...
Wonder why it's not on tap or sold in cases or even popular or heard of after all this time. I wonder why it's in the back corner of the store collecting dust sold in single bottles.
I guess it's maybe a hidden gem or something that people have been missing all these years.
"never heard of" maybe by people who know nothing about beer.
"not on tap" if you go to a bar that sells craft beer, there is a good chance you will find this.
"in back corner collecting dust sold in single bottles" its considered a craft beer, so its going to be mixed with craft beer, and not at eye level where only beer sold by the big three is sold, and it is sold in 6 packs and cases.
"not popular" i recommend you "take some advice" and check out a website called ratebeer where you can see it was ranked as the 2nd best beer in the world for it's style in 2010.
your certainly entitled to not like the beer. but if your going to "give advice" you should at least have some degree of knowing what your talking about.
@TakeSomeAdvice That right there should have told you to leave it alone. There's nothing like a well brewed fresh Bav. Hef. but nothing worse then a stale brew. If you ever happen to find it on draft that might be the time to try it again. Still, some people never acquire a taste for it.
@TakeSomeAdvice - Actually its a very well-known beer, and I can buy it in 6packs at the liquor store down the street. Maybe you need to admit that things are a little different when you are a noob and you live in the stick?
Belgian wheats are fabulous, FAR better than their bland cousins here in the America's. If you ever develop a palate you'll find most beers far different.
@TakeSomeAdvice because America is 1: still recovering from being brainwashed by prohibition. 2: still producing more macro lagers and continually marketing (brainwashing) the general public that their tasteless, odorless, over-stocked beer is "real" beer. 3: Too proud to carry genuine foreign product, like this classic, centuries-old and centuries-loved beer.
You've got to be the biggest little bitch I've ever seen-- so glad I'll never meet you! Cheers
@jjrudy41 I agree, little bit of an over reaction. I mean, come on. I know taste is a subjective matter, but that's a very light beer in regards to flavors. He must be a hop head. This isn't a hoppy beer at all.
First of all - totally wrong glass. You need something bigger because
hefeweizens contain unfiltered yeast in the bottle - if you dont get the yeast that's settled at the bottom of the bottle into the glass you dont get the true flavor of the beer.
Second of all it's supposed to be spicy. I dont know what bready taste you were referring to. It's possible you had an old bottle.
You seem to have a very narrow frame of reference regarding beer taste. You need to expand your palate. Rickards sux
i think that was me that advised you to try this beer ;)
Although this is a hefeweizen and Rickard's White is a witbier. Also, Blue Moon is a slightly different beer from RW. RW is very peachy, BM is more orange and grainier. I posted my RW video as a response to yours.
Try pouring the beer down the side of the glass. Thats why you get a huge head when you pour your beers. Glad you don't work in a bar or pub, you would be fired!
Excellant video man. I enjoy all your stuff! But be prepared for many haters on this one. Some people think if you don't like a German beer than you know nothing about real beer. I for one agree with you though!
Still, not liking THIS beer is blasphemy. But if all you're used to drinking is macro crap like Rickards or Blue Moon it's like going from first grade to college overnight. Maybe some American hefeweizens would be better gateway beers to authentic German ones.
Like Henry said - if your frame of reference is very limited, its difficult if not impossible for people (or at least more experienced drinkers) to take your critique seriously.
@Chad9976 Believe it or not I feel there is value in the is type of review. It's unbiased and the words used to describe the flavor are more everyday terms. I'm just as guilty as the next brewer using coined phrases that we've heard too many times before. It's refreshing to hear someone use their own words.
@yartp Well ALL reviews are biased because everyone has their own personal tastes and preferences. TSA seems to have a very narrow frame of reference when it comes to beer, so this review will only appeal to people of his experience level or less. If I knew (or suspected) that he's tried a wide range of beer styles and he could explain why this is a poor example then he'd have a stronger argument. But when your only frame of reference is Rickards White, its difficult to take the review seriously
The medicinal or clove like flavors are phenols engendered by the yeast. I'm sure people like Boob and PEIhomeconcoctor have experienced these wonderful flavors by fermenting their concoctions at less than favorable temperatures.
Tomorrow sees the premier of a new track dedicated to the PEIhomeconcoctor.
He's a belligerent little bastard who gets his due in this wonderful track. Good night to all who engage properly, and put the arts on the pedestal they deserve.
haha, good review! These always make me laugh! Your wife is very funny too. I meant to comment on the "butt plug" joke in one of the mash tun videos, but she is very funny! Excited for all those how to videos! Nice work!
Well you really have a different response than most to this beer. I for one find this my favorite of all wheat beers. I have the same response to Blue Moon you have to the Weihenstephaner. I like the clove bananna flavors of this style. I mostly just drink this style in the hot summer we have here in Oklahaoma and find it very refreshing.
Appreciate the honest response (and MAN, that was one helluva honest response).
I'm not a big German wheat person either...just too many weird flavors. Yet, I love Belgians, so go figure.
Oh, and no offense, but your wife's 3 second review provided me with as much feedback as your 7 minute talk--but you had already convinced me to stay away from it anyway. Keep them coming.
After researching it seems that this beer is unlike the rest in its category. Supposedly the Belgians are more sweet and drinkable. This beer in specific is supposedly in a league of it's own. However, this is a beer that if you don't like, you get labeled as not being a beer connoisseur. (similar to rating a Pixar movie bad if you review films.. you aren't 'allowed' to).
If I owned a restaurant I would never serve this in fear of too many sending it back.
its not a belgium or white ale. its a german hefeweissen. its very true to its style. not liking the beer does not make you a beer connoisseur, its not knowing what your talking about what makes you not a beer connoisseur.
@TakeSomeAdvice HAHA, my question, then, is: What Pixar movie has any credible reviewer ever given bad reviews? The integrity is strong with Pixar, and unspoiled like so many other production companies. Similarly, this beer is a pure example of a beloved product by people who know and understand good beer and food. I prefer certain styles of beer, but know what a good beer is--
A lot of people do not like Bavarian wheats and I certainly wouldn't say it's like a Wit. It certainly doesn't help being an import, I can never find fresh imported beer.
@yartp Yeah I couldn't find any Wit so just got this. There is a 6 pack of Wit from Belgium for $14. I'll get it soon enough and review it. I think that's the actual beer Blue Moon is based off.
