Beer-a-Day #253Weihenstephaner Festbier (photo © Christopher Vigliotti)

A full rich bodied, hoppy, seasonal lager. Especially brewed for the Festbier season. This beer truly represents the Bavarian way of celebrating. Deep gold color, great mouthfeel and lots of flavor. Prost!

Tonight is the kickoff of the 2009 NFL season and, thus, the unofficial start of Autumn. This is my favorite time of year. Football (American) is my favorite sport. (My only sport, really.) And I have a special place in my heart for Oktoberfest beers. Time to celebrate!

Pale yellow, clear with a white head. Grassy hops. A touch sweet with some interesting toastiness. Good stuff.

Weihenstephaner Hefe WeissbierBeer-a-Day #181

Nothing refreshes you more than this naturally cloudy wheat beer with its wonderful yeasty fragrance and taste. Goes well with dishes that do not have too intensive a flavour, especially that Bavarian speciality ‘Weisswurst’ or white sausage.

Hazy yellow with copious head. Floral with a little bubblegum. I’m not generally down with the wheat beers, but that’s a darn good one. That is in the top five best wheat beers I’ve ever had. Sadly, I only have the one.
