Erdinger Weissbräu brews one of Germany's most popular wheat beers. This traditonal unfiltered Bavarian Hefe-Weizen is sold around the world. I photographed two bottles: the half liter German bottle which says simply "Weissbier" on the label and the 350ml American bottle which reads "Hefe-Weizen". The German bottle has an extra label which reads "Mit feiner Hefe in der Flasche gereift." - Aged with fine yeast in the bottle.

This bottle conditioned wheat beer pours a deep hazy gold color with a bright white head that reduces to a thin covering rather quickly. It is full bodied and features sweet, spicy, and citrus flavors with a hint of banana.

Try it if you like Franziskaner, Hoegaarden, Blue Moon, or other unfiltered wheat beers. It's a respectable and refreshing offering in the wheat beer category.

So the guys and I were talking about topics for the blog and a re-accuring idea was a section where people could talk about different kinds of beer they had over the years both common and rare. This would also be a great way for people who rarely venture out of their 2 or 3 brands to test the waters of other beers based on recommendations and or comparisons. We are hoping to get some never before heard of beers on these lists as well. Please include (if you know the bar or venue) where you had the beer, especially the hard to find ones. I've named this section "Drink it Forward" followed by the types of beer the list should consist of. There's no militant formula to this blog so if you'd like to name a beer that isn't of this genre, that's cool with us. This will hopefully lead to another Drink it Forward lists.
