Alcohol Content :- 5% v/v
Brewed at Brau Union Oesterreich AG.
Brewed in Austria🇦🇹
About the company : Edelweiss is by far the most popular wheat beer in Austria and is still brewed according to the traditional tradition of 1646 - according to an original recipe that goes back to the Hofbräuhaus Kaltenhausen, founded in 1475. The brewery itself has a brewing tradition of over 500 years. The name Edelweiss is used as a metaphor for the beer's purity and singular uniqueness. 
Appearance : The beer is Golden in colour. A small head is formed. Clear in appearance. The head stays till the end of the glass.
Aromas : On the nose herbs with floral notes along with sweet spice aromas of cloves. Sweet malt aromas with banana esters coming through. No hop aromas.
Flavor : The beer has flavors of Banana and herb. It has good malt sweetness with cloves phenols. No hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel : The beer is Medium bodied. Crisp and leaves a sweet malt flavors along with banana esters. Creamy on the palate. Aftertaste of cloves and herbs are coming through. Low astringency. 
Overall Impression : This beer was very interesting. It leaves a different impression on the palate. The Alpine herb aromas and flavors are dominant. It does have a sweet malt finish which makes it an easy drinking beer. This was a Hefeweizen style for sure having hints of banana and clove. This beer is found in very few cities in India hence difficult to find. This wont please the regular beer drinkers as it has complex flavors and aromas. Priced at 180₹ for a pint in Goa quite a decent beer for the craft beer lovers. If you do want to try this be ready for a whole new different beer style. Cheers
