Beer 201 - Ayinger Brau-Weisse with Macaroni and cheese

Brewed and bottled by Braurie Aying in Aying, Germany.  Bought at Specs and drunk at home in Katy, TX with dinner of macaroni and cheese, steamed green beans and steamed carrots.

web site in English: http://en.ayinger-bier.de/?pid=263

The web site says "Top-fermented, light-colored wheat beer, Alcohol content: 5.1 %, Fragrance and taste of the “yeast-cloudy” wheat beer are distinguished by a refined top-fermented flowery-yeast character and an unmistakable, distinct banana aroma. First sensation on the taste buds is full-bodied, very soft and mild with a lively, champagne-like sparkle. A light, typical wheat beer taste is expressed, the bitter tone of which can scarcely be detected. The sparklingly refreshing Ayinger Bräu-Weisse will impress every wheat beer connoisseur with the first mouthful."

Couldn't have said it better myself.  The beer went exceedingly well with the macaroni and cheese, I enjoyed them together.  This was a good match perhaps because the fizz in the beer washed the cheese down and cleansed the mouth with each sip.
