Let me start by stating I am NOT a big fan of Sierra Nevada. I HAVE tried several times to appreciate the beers made by this brewery. Even my wife, who knows very little about beer, asked why I was trying Kellerweis Hefeweizen. It's simple, you have to sample the beer if you are going to write about it. I tried my best to grade it no matter who the brewed this beer. Let me share my notes about this beer. The odor is that of malt with citrus. Okay, not a bad start. The color is a hazy brown and pours with a small head. The mouthfeel is light. And now the problems begin. I do not detect alot of flavors in this beer. I picked out the malt and the citrus, but thats about it. And even these flavors do not stand out. Kellerweis Hefeweizen came across as a very average beer. Hey Sierra Nevada, do something with this beer. Go somewhere with the flavor. Give me a reason to buy this beer. Make an effort. Maybe I had an off bottle, but if this is it, I wouldn't recommend it. This beer is not bad, it just doesn't stand out in the slightest. I grade this beer a C.
What new beers have YOU tried today?
