I compared the HB Oktoberfest vs the HB Original today (the first expiring 19-5-25 and the other 3-6-25 respectively). They taste pretty much the same to me, with the oktoberfest having a slightly bit more of a punch but the original showing much more carbonation in the glass. They are extremly close together, I would rate them about the same. Weihenstephan Original Helles a tiny bit better but Augustiner Edelstoff better and Augustiner Oktoberfest the best. HB is quite a good beer. They sell a at around 2,70-2,80 euro's at my bottle shop, WS original at around 2,30. So Weihenstephaner original would be the best value for money. For the best helles type of beer, go with Augustiner (edelstoff is €2,70 too, oktoberfest €3,15). HB is a safe and fine choice but it wouldn't be the number one in either best taste/quality or best to buy price/quality wise.

Try out a Gutmann Weizen...

Mycket intressant. Tack för tipsen. Jag har inte smakat någon av ölen du provar, så nu åker dom upp på min lista. Må så gott🍻

Skåne mentioned 🤩 I love Migla and it's been my favourite for a while. I will go to systemet and try and find the Landsort and Vita nunnan.

Try Andechs Weissbier Hell

Hälsinge❤

Very interesting content! I'm sure your channel will grow eventually

I will try your tips when I am in sweden, norn or migla, inbetween Julmust and Glögg.

Love your enthusiasm my friend! Never had a Swedish beer....that will change. Hope I can find one here in Texas. Cheers, y'all!

Vitus is so good! Though I'd say I prefer Ayinger's weizenbock over it when it comes to high ABV weissbiers. That one's probably my favorite of them all.

The "Weiss" in Weissbier is a southern German word for Weizen (wheat). So Weissbier doesn't actually mean white beer.

How did he get a matching glass for each brand of Weißbier in Sweden? I think, this guy is some kind of magician.

There is a brewery in LaCrosse, WI called 608 which had a 3.8% Grodziskie called Step Twins on tap when I was there last April, It’s very unique smoky flavored kind of beer. Reminds me of Rauchbier (?) from Germany most notably Schlenkerla. My notes on Untappd only say “Sausage beer! Yah Vo!” So there ya go I liked it!! 😜👍🏻👍🏻

Hefe = yeast Weizen = wheat Weiss = white So you can form any compound word with these parts. Hefe-Weizen Hefe-Weißbier Weiße But these are the words the breweries print on the labels. Infomally you order a Hefe or a Weizen (most common). It's all the same. It's "white" because the yeast is top-fermenting, not bottom-fermenting like lagers. So if the brewer looks into the "pot" he sees all the yeast on top of the liquid, all white.

Thanks for sharing your Untappd profile *request sent *

Vitus is excellent but can definitely taste the 7.7%, prefer the hefe weissen

Side by side tests are great fun. The results can be a bit different from testing a beer and then trying brand a bit later, so these battles are useful and entertaining. I test various weizen myself over the past year (and did so with helles and other beers too, some family got warried about me, lol). My current ranking is as follows, though may change when I battle more beers and how my mood and taste developes: 1) Ayinger Brauweisse 2) Andechs Weissbier hell 3) Jacob Weissbier 4) Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier 5) Hacker Pschorr hefe weisse 6) Engel hefeweizen 7) Königshof Hefeweizen 8) Tucher helles hefe weizen 9) Grolsch Weizen (NL) 10) Primator Weizen (CZ) 11-19) Perlenbacher Weissbier (bit watery, but good taste), König Ludwig, Pinkus Hefe Weizen, Paulaner, Kapuziner, Patrous, Fransiskaner, Rothaus, Schultenbrau , ... . 20) Erdinger Yet to test: Ayinger Urweisse, Karg Hefe Weissbier, Unertl, Gutmann, .... , ?? I like the lighter coloured wheatbeers better than the darker (dunkel) version. So that's why for instance I didn't try the Ayinger Urweisse yet (but I will soon, it's in my fridge). Plenty of battles ahead. Not just Weissbier, but also Helles, Keller, Oktober, Pils and so on. Didn't try Maisel's and Scheider weissen yet either, not expecting them to rank in the top 10, so they haven't been a priority. These battles get a bit heavy if you try 3-4-5 of them against eachother.... Looking forward to your future battles. Pro(o)st!

Your Weizen video is what brought me here, I got into Weissbier a year ago and after drinking various of the big brands myself, and did some battles myself. I was wondering how other people would rate and rank these beers and if they had recommendations for more beers to try out. When asking my friends, co-workers and so, many name Erdinger, as it's the most available in shops and so on, and a few said Weihenstephan was good too. To each their own, but it was good to see it wasn't just me ranking Weihenstephan at the top and Erdinger much lower down. Ayinger brauweisse is the one I like the most though. I seem to generally agree with your reviews of the various helles, Oktoberfestbeers and so on (must say Augstiner is the best here IMHO). So I will keep on watching your channel and a few German and UK based videos. The downside: this forces me to buy more beers to test, ans fewer of the big boring brands that are sold in pretty much every supermarket. To keep my beer consumption levels acceptable, I will just watch some beer videos as a surrogate... Haha, thanks, cheers, proost, skål!

It's funny how you practised how to pronounce Grolsch but not Heineken, which you pronounced it as though it was a German beer HAI-neken. It's pronounced Heineken.

German beer guy here who really doesn't know why YT recommends this video today as I had a pale Doppelbock w/ 7.5 just yesterday ;)

Being from Texas, as a younger less experienced beer drinker, my favorite beer around was the Shiner Bock. People liked to call it, “the king of Texas beers”. Recently, I was back home and revisited a Shiner Bock. To my dismay I thought it tasted terrible! Lol! Like skunk!

BREAD RESPONS-

"Bock" refers to the male chamois. There was also a beer called "Goaß", which is the female chamois. This was also a dark beer, but with a low alcohol content. This type of beer has died out. After the Second World War, however, the "Goaß-Maß" was invented when the Americans were stationed in Germany and brought Coca Cola with them. This is simply a stein that is half filled with cola and dark beer. This makes the drink dark like the original Goaß and has a low alcohol content. In Bavaria, there are several mixed beer drinks with the 1 liter stein ("Maß"), e.g. Laternen-Maß, Schnee-Maß... (which are typically not drunk alone but shared in a group, e.g. a football team), but these are slowly being forgotten.

Some recommendations: - Gansbräu Hell - Tegernseer Hell - Chiemseer Hell - Any „Rotbier“ („red beer“) from the Nuremberg region - Augustiner Hell or Export - Pyraser Landbier Export - Hofmühl Hell - Zirndorfer Hell - Winkler Bräu Probably you won’t find them in a shop outside of Bavaria. But if you contact the breweries themselves they might send a package.

Most of your beers are from the Munich region. But the best Weißbiers in Bavaria you find further north. Some recommendations: - Jacob Naturtrübes Hefe Weissbier (!!!) - Neumarkter Lammsbräu Weiße (find it in shops for organic food perhaps) - Pyraser Angerwirts Weizen - Glossner Hefe-Weiss‘ - Hofmühl Hefeweizen - Unertl Weißbier - Gutmann Hefeweizen - Try Weizenbock style from any brewery you like!

Interesting and fun to watch as always. Skål på dig🍻

Beer testing is the best job! 🤷‍♂

Very enjoyable review. I have tried the Ayinger Winter Bock and Ayinger Celebrator side by side and I believe they are the same exact beer with different labels. After watching this video I ran to my local "package store" (as it's called where I'm from) to pick up all three of thew beers so I can do my own side by side comparison. Much to my satisfaction I came across an Ayinger Altbairish Dunkel. SwedishBeerGuy, based on your review would you change the order in which you tasted these beers? I am going to do my own side by side comparison tomorrow.

A little late to the party, but my understanding is that Konig Ludwig is by Warsteiner. Personally, Weihenstephaner and Paulaner's Hefeweizens are my favorite, but Ayinger brings a special something that makes it a wild card.

Ayinger is one of the best beers from germany . Augustiner is a little bit better :)

I have found a Helles beer from Maisel, it's aroma hops and crispness have made it my favorite🤯, almost like Waldhaus Hopfensturm, and finally I found Ayinger Lager Hell 😅 I hope you will be able to find it for a video. There are three languages on the bottle, but no swedish.

Oh, I hadn't really thought about crisp. I think about hoppy as a term pretty often. To me there are multiple types of hoppiness and they can be specific - say citrus or even lemon or grapefruit - but there's also a general non-descript hoppiness that comes from hop bitterness that accompanies other specific characteristics.

To me "crisp" is something that is kind of clean that doesn't waste time with a lot of other flavours but is just good on its own.

I always considered Bittburger as crisp. I may be wrong. (Jever is so dry, not unpleasant just a very noticeable contrast to my usual Bavarian Helles beers).

For me crisp in a beer I do tend to recognize it in lagers, which I also drink cold and not on higher temperatures like ales. When I talk about crisp in a beer I mean that in my opinion it comes from the malt and other grains that were used during the brewing process. I use it together with the terms biscuity and bready, which also tend to have a crisp hint of flavor. Like helles or pilsners for example. It’s that kind of bite that I experience while drinking a Helles or a Pilsner, which I’m assuming that it comes from the malts and the grains

I think temperature is also a part of "crisp". A crisp beer needs to be light-bodied, dry, carbonated, but also cold. I think I wouldn't call a lukewarm pilsner crisp.

I think you're onto something at the end there; I think 'crisp' as it's usually used in beer refers to notable acidity, particularly at the end of a sip-if acidity is present in the body of the sip it may be more appropriate to call the beer 'sour' than 'crisp'. (Similarly, a crisp sound is one with notable high-frequency overtones ie treble, but not necessarily a high fundamental note).

😀🇸🇪👍🏻

Tjena Dadel! I personally would describe "crisp" as the feel of tiny bubbles. Like prosecco or the grains in an apple. As you said about crispy weather. When its crispy outside it feels like tiny water droplets hits the cheek. That is my impression of adjective crisp 👍 Ses på jobbet!

One of reason I like your videos is because you go beyond the just normal phrases like fruity. I tend to be bland like that when describing a beer as my palate sometimes can’t pick out the different fruit taste. For myself, when I drink the first drink and it has a “ bite” makes your mouth tell your brain that the drink has a zest or kick at beginning, wakes your mouth up. That’s best I can describe crisp beer

Serveringstemperaturen på en öl kan i ena fallet innebära att en öl är krispig när den är kall, kanske också lätt kyld (källarsval), men tveksamt om ölen blir ”varmare” än så. En ”varm” Jever kan ingen beskriva som krispig. Eller. Klart de kan. Men. Enligt mig har de fel. Då.

To me crisp would mean dry, with no lingering flavours or sweetness, normally strongly carbonated. A clear crisp ending to the gulp. Where every gulp is like you compared as crisp as a bite of an apple rather than a spoon of Nutella.

Very interesting question. I'd say it was refreshing with a bit of an edge to it.

Most beers that I would describe as “crisp” tend to have a light body and high effervescence or carbonation. The amount of bitterness does not affect this very much for me. I would agree though that there is at least some correlation with dryness👍🏻
