Strahov Brewery 3 of 4 : Wheat



After I drank my first two beers at the brewery I was hooked. I drank them, ordered some food,and while waiting for the food to get there I had a sip of my girlfriend's Wheat she ordered. I knew right then and there I needed to try it, and try the other one while I was at it. We decided to go to the Observation Tower nearby to do some quick sight seeing and burn off the calories from our gigantic meals. This proved to be a great experience, but a not so good idea. We walked up the biggest hill to get there, only to walk an extra 299 steps to the top of the tower, and do it all in reverse on the way back.

Finally we made it back to the brewery! I ordered the Wheat like I had planed and here it is.

This beer was a cloudy amber color and the nose was a very grainy explosion of wheat. It had a good head but didn't stick around for long. This was a traditional wheat beer, naturally cloudy, top fermented, low hopped, and all around better then any other wheat I've ever had. The main flavor, surprisingly, was wheat and boy was it heavy in the best way! Totally different then American Wheat beers. The aftertaste was strong, but not overpowering, and stuck around for a while. (That was fine with me because I didn't want this to end!) If I ever go back to Prague I am defiantly going back to relax and have the humbly called Wheat.
