Warsteiner Royal Bavarian Hefeweizen
Warsteiner, Germany

While working a photo assignment for the paper, I had the chance to try some Warsteiner beers. The sales representative Chris Jewell of Great State Beverages was at the Best of the Wurst Festival held by The Inn at Danbury, NH. The Inn’s theme is German and both the beers and food are of this Bavarian culture.

While getting ready to shoot some images for the paper, I talked with Chris and mentioned that I do articles for the UNOB. Chris suggested that I sample some of the Warsteiner brews.

He had some small plastic cups for the patrons to sample the product and this was what I expected to receive. I shot a few pictures and turned around to find a full glass of Konig Ludwig Weiss: Warsteiner Royal Bavarian Hefeweizen.

It's a wheat beer with the normal cloudiness expected and has a lively fruit favor of bananas and apples. It is slightly tart and the brew has fullness as it rolls over the tongue.

This is a classic golden hefeweizen brew and meets the standards and criteria of German brewing standards. It has a nice finish and balance.
