Beer 187 - Erdinger Weizen

Brewed and bottle in Germany by Erdinger Weissbrau, bought at Specs downtown store and drunk at home in Katy with Nutrisystem dinner of beef stew with added carrots and broccoli after getting home late from work because Patri had stuff to finish.

The brewery web site is http://www.erdinger.de/en/company/brewery.html

The bottle says "Erdinger is brewed all naturally, using traditional brewing process.  Thank you for enjoyig Erdinger, the world's #1 Hefe-Weizen."  It appears that this is the Kristall beer on the web site, which is described "This specialty wheat beer gets its crystal appearance from a particularly long filtration process, known in the industry as "fine filtration", whereby the beer becomes completely clear.  This gives Erdinger Weissbier crystal its sparkling and refreshing character - which also makes it the ideal wheat beer for warm summer days."

I found the beer a little bland, to go along with the rather bland food proferred by Nutrisystem.  The beer was very clear and had  a good head when first poured, but the crispness I expected did not materialise and I was disappointed at the lack of taste.
