fields of summer

It's summer again, and time to be thinking about how nice it would be to be in a more reasonable country, temperature-wise.  Shades of those countries are welcome in beers, like Primátor.  I've had a few of their selection over the years, but not the Weizenbier, which sounds like just the thing for sunny, bright summer evenings.  It actually hasn't been so sunny or even warm these past couple of days, going so far as to rain inside the metro, but little details like those never stop me from tasting a new beer.

It's frothy, well-headed, and a rich golden colored beer.  It's also a little cloudy, like a tasty wheat beer might be.  The aroma is sharp and sweet, just what you expect from wheats.  The flavor is oddly sour, with a little sweet at first.  It's kind of like those sour candies we used to eat as kids, a little sweet in the beginning, but suddenly turning on your tastebuds with a much sharper taste.  It mellows after a couple of sips, going a little fruity, maybe banana-y.  It reminds me of Hoegaarden in that respect.  There's a lingering sourness kind of in the middle of my tongue, though, again like a sourball or something might leave.  The beer stays fizzy, but if you don't get a nice big mug for it, later pours lose their head pretty quickly.  Something to keep in mind later, for the sake of aesthetics.

No, I don't make up those prices myself
