Perfect summer beer

[dlaramie08]

A 3% hefeweizen with WB-06 and 1oz of coriander. There's not much coriander flavor/aroma as I don't think it was very fresh. Either way, so delicious and thirst quenching.

Love low ABV beers right now. Especially hefes and bitters.

 

[dlaramie08]

Agreed. It's so dang hot right now, the last thing I want is a 6-7% anything.

That does look pretty good. I brewed two of midwests' PM Berlin Wheat kits. one straight up,the other with the flavor hop haulertauer addition moved from 30 to 20 minutes & Trulemon added to the priming solution.
The first one tastes like a cross between Paulaner hefe & Franziskaner weissebier to me. The second has a couple weeks to go yet before fridge time. I'm hoping the Trulemon works better in the lighter wheat beer.

The best beer is the next beer.
