Hacker-Pschorr Edelhell Münchner Exportbier

Here’s a mouthful to be reckoned with: Hacker-Pschorr Edelhell Münchner Exportbier ($2.62 for 500 millilitres). One of Munich’s proud old names does it according to the old Bavarian purity law. Edelhell means “noble light” but that refers strictly to the colour, not the alcohol level, which is a sensible 5.5 percent. Fresh, bracing, and decidedly Bavarian-style flavours hit the palate. Serve it cool rather than cold, and match it with a platterful of weisswurst and a scoop of sauerkraut—there’s lunch.

If you like this beer, or other German style Weiss beers, I suggest you try the new Whistler brand, Whistler Weiss. It has a beautiful flavour and aroma dominated by banana and cloves. Those guys at the Whistler Brewing Company really nailed a home run with this one. I tried it on draft but was told to look for it in their mixer packs and in six packs both, which I'm told will be on the market soon. Cheers.
