Weihenstephan German Beers

Last week i bought four 500ml beers down at the local bottle-mart for $20, from the Weihenstephan brewery. The brewery located in Bavaria, Germany, has claims to be the oldest brewery in the world as it is said to have opened in 1040. Upon a visit to brewery webpage (www.weihenstephaner.de/) i could see that they brew more than a dozen beers, varying from wheat beers to radlers. However the ones that i tried were the Tradition, the Crystal Wheat Beer (Kristall Weissbier), the Dark Wheat Beer (Hefeweissbier Dunkel) and the Original.

The Tradition was golden in colour with a rich caramel and nutty flavour, and a strong head. Out of all the beers it was my least favourite, but by no means a bad beer. 6/10

The Crystal Wheat Beer was a beautiful pale straw colour, and possessed one of the best heads i have every seen on a beer, it was strikingly refreshing with strong hop and malt flavours. Clearly the best of the beers i tried. 9/10

The Dark Wheat beer was stout like in colour, rich dark brown, however the flavour was indicative of a much lighter beer, it was similar in taste to the crystal wheat beer, however it wasn't as crisp in flavour. 8/10

The Original was much different to the other three, as it was a pale ale, so it lacked the same flavour punch that the others possessed. However the original was very refreshing, with a slight hoppyness and was easy to drink. 7.5/10
