Flensburger Weizen - Citizen Beer

First off, Flensburger Brewery was founded by five citizens of Flensburg, Germany in 1888. Brewing beer for over one hundred and twenty years should say something good about a brewery. The brewery uses well water from the brewery property to produce this beer. The ABV for Flensburger Weizen is 5.10%. The color of this beer when poured is golden colored with a white head. It is also a bit hazy. The aroma is that of a sweet wheat beer. The mouthfeel is soft. When it comes to the flavor of this beer, it is a typical wheat beer flavor. It must be noted there is more of a malt flavor up front than most other wheat beers. The finish is slightly dry. I would say this is an average wheat beer in most regards. There does not seem to be a lot of depth to the flavor. It is not a bad beer, but not a great one either. Slightly below average would sum it up for flavor. If I could change anything about this beer, I would take out the dryness at the finish and take out some of the malt as well. Trying Flensburger Weizen out as a single is okay. Would I buy multiple bottles? Probably not. I grade this beer a C+.
