The Brew Dudes - First German Hefeweizen Tasting

[HammerHeathen]

I enjoy Tucher the most myself.

[Hombre261]

ihr braucht richtige hefeweizengläser jungs..

[BigolePappy2]

Kapuziner is my favorite!

[piarbo]

cool cool!! you like german beer....but the glasses??? no guys

[blocknetwork]

best german hefeweizen ---> paulaner, franziskaner, weihenstephaner

[tealeafk]

i just got back from nurmburg where tucher is from

i love tucher, but there hefenweisen wasnt my favorite .i liked there pils had a few mugs full at volks fest in the tucher oxenzelt=)

[DaGanjaSamurai]

No Franziskaner? For shame!

[ibander]

widmer hef is the best!

[MasterJonze]

Brew your own!!!

[stolzvonbaden]

Prost! Greetings from Germany.

[elguapoalso]

Great vid. Totall agree on the Weihenstephaner hefe. The store right down the street from where I live just replaced their stock of Warsteiner with Weihenstephaner and I've been drinking it nonstop ever since. Very difficult to go back to drinking foul tasting American lagers now despite the price difference.

[Kholim]

Weihenstephaner is my absolute favorite beer. Kristall is especially good.

[jonathonpower6666]

hey i tasted this kapuziner yesterday, found it very well balanced but not as complex as let say the schneider weisse weizenhell... you should also do a review on the paulaner hefeweizen the schofferhofer and the hofbrau hefeweizen.. theyre very good but ill have to go with the schneider weizenhell delicuous

[koshovey]

is belgian wit beer the same thing as german hefe weisse (i know some will insist they are different) but is there an actual difference?

[jonathonpower6666]

in the german style there´s more bannana and phenolic notes, but no, other than that and the place they come from there is no difference also the ABV ratio is equal from 4 to 7 abv

[brunswussl]

german beer is the best, can't stand the american or british.. we call it "pisse", sorry :P

try "tannenzäpfle", it comes out of the area i live, i really like it. not a big company or well known, not even in germany but its a little special tipp ;)

cool video, keep it up

[TheBrewDudes]

All those flavors are really components of the german hefe yeast. The banana flavors become more pronounced when fermenting at a slightly higher temperature, creating more fruity esters, As you mentioned. The phenol and clove flavors are more interchangable. I personally consider phenol's to be a more of a spicy note, which you can also experience in many belgians ales as well.

[TheBrewDudes]

Meanwhile, cloves to me seem more like a light combination of bubblegum and string beans. It sounds weird, but give it a try. The flavor profile I think is accurate.

[confidentially]

hey guys. as always enjoyed the video, but i have a question--it was said the tucher (my personal second favorite hefe) has all three flavors you'd expect: banana, phenol and clove. i always thought the clove was the effect of the phenols, and the banana a result of esters. what is the distinction between the clove and phenol you're describing?

[helmineron]

Ayinger Brua Weiss

[CitizenSoldier211]

You guys are fucking badass. My only criticism is : you guys always agree on the thumbs up and down. Maybe it just means that you guys are right but it also makes it seem less believeable because different people DO have different preferences. Don't take it as an insult, it's just an observation. Keep doing what you're doing, though, you guys pwn.

[TheBrewDudes]

Thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately we have a similar taste in beer, but we occasionally disagree.

[shakedatmonkey82]

i lived in germany for over ten years and tasted the best local and national brews that were available at that time, as for calling you guys boobs, hey boobs are not a bad thing tiddies and beer my young friends tiddies and beer

[Chrism980]

Hofbrau hefeweizen is my favorite.

[cloom1]

a couple of boobs who wouldnt know a good hefeweize if someone poured it for them

[TheBrewDudes]

Yeah sure buddy. You ever had a weihenstephaner? That sorta was the best hefe we rated. Find me a better one or shut the fuck up. Thanks for watching though.

[champ90xx]

Erdinger oder Paulaner. Ich bin Deutscher.

[schmeior]

you have no idea!!!

kapuziner is the best one!!!!!

[youngdave007]

i love beer.

[viperdiamondback]

you should try erdinger.

[Yeclanoide]

You have no idea man, Hefeweizen Bier is served always in special glasses, not like yours, because Hefe needs to be stirred in advance, have a look at my real video

[TheBrewDudes]

Yeah, this is a point we didn't address in the quick video. We decanted the beers in glasses off-screen before-hand in order to get all the yeasty goodness these beers offer, and then we poured them into our tasting glasses for the tasting.

[herni102]

Ayinger Bräu-Weisse is also great, but slightly more watery compared to Weihenstephaner.

[mlaudio72]

Nice call guys. Weihenstephaner is my favorite Hefeweiss. It's so balanced and well crafted. Just bought the Hefeweiss Dunkel. Excited to try that!

[rootero]

How about putting the yeast in the glass as well? You dudes will need Weizengläser for this... they don't exist by chance.

[TheBrewDudes]

These beers were decanted to mix the yeast before we poured them into our tasters. The yeast and the flavors it imparts are one of the best parts about Hefes and we wouldn't be satisfied to leave the yeast in the bottle I promise you that.

[rootero]

Alright then. Try Andechs and Schöfferhofer, too

[Blubb3r3ng3l]

god. I know these guys know their stuff, but a really fucking stupid girl I know pretends to know shit about beer/wine. Her condescending manner towards understanding subtle notes, with such achievements as talking about how much she 'loves the body of Arbor Mist' have ruined beverage reviews.

Keep it up, I just automatically assume people talking about beers are assholes.

[jurgislv]

true/second that

[Ponte1986]

Realy good work guys^^

but the best german HEFEWEIZEN you did not test :) It`s called PAULANER for me it`s the best Weizen beer

but i must say ALL german beers are better than yours ................... :) greetings from bavaria

[TheBrewDudes]

Due to the wild success of this video, we are planning a second Hefeweizen review and you can be sure that Paulaner's and Franziskaner's will definitely be in there. But I must say Weihenstephaner's was a really great beer.

[gadzooks63]

cute bs being played here . .gootman

[drogoscg]

Good calls all around. I agree. If you want to have a very drinkable American Hefe, try Bozone Hefeweizen form Bozone Brewery Bozeman, Montana.

[RadioOperator]

Beer tastes better if you drink it cold... ;-)

[Weyoun8]

Cool video dudes! Greetings from Bavaria / Germany! ;)

[TheBrewDudes]

Vielen Dank!
