A couple of weeks ago a wrote "I am so sick of gold hoppy English beers, that I have bought a box of 23 assorted wheat beers from Germany, that I will be reviewing soon.", well I have started them and so far they are great. I will review them a few at a time, as I have them, although I do not have the skill to do the best for them.
Arcobräu, Weissbier Hell from Germany
5.3% cloudy cold colour with a good head, slightly smoky banana aroma and a classic wheat beer taste. This is an old photo but it was also in the box I bought.
Wolferstetter Bräu, Export Hefe Weizen from Germany
5.5% cloudy gold in colour with a thin head, usual yeasty aroma and that nice banana and yeast taste.
Einsiedler Brauhaus, Gutenberg Original Hefe-Weissbier from Germany

Bürgerbräu Bad Reichenhall, Unser Bürgerbräu Hefe-Weizen Dunkel from Germany

Easter Beer Festival Beers
Well the Fish (Fishermans Arms) beer festival was quite good. I wasn't there too long but I did sample plenty of beers, and the company was good though. Well here goes.
Merrie City, Cascadian from England
4.0% gold colour with a nice head, unfortunately it was all hops, not too good at all.
Durham, Pale Ice from England
3.9% gold in colour with a nice head, citrus aroma, hops in the tease, not too good.
Durham, Evensong from England
5.0% amber coloured with a nice head, good bitter aroma and taste, not bed at all.
Sonnet 43, India Pale Ale from England
4.4% amber in colour with a good head, malt aroma and taste with some hops, not too bad.
Stackport, Stock Porter from England
4.8% dark colour with a good head, liquorice and chocolate aroma, the taste is the same but sweet, not bad.
Titanic, Plum Porter from England
4.9% dark amber with a nice head, some plum in the aroma and a bit of a flowery taste, not as good as it should be.
Kelham Island, Ace of Spades from England
