This weekend is German Fest on the Summerfest grounds. I didn't make it today, but I hope to tomorrow. When I realized today would be out, I decided to celebrate my little bit of German heritage by trying another new beer - Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse.
With my first sip there was an element of the flavor that I know I can't properly describe. Without that flavor I was sure I'd like my beer. With it, I wasn't so sure it was my style. But something about it sparked a feeling, or maybe the hint of a memory that I couldn't quite place. So I kept on, focusing on that flavor, trying to determine what it was. I want to say it reminded me of my childhood somehow, but I'm not sure how. My parents didn't drink too often and they discouraged me from doing it, so I don't think it's something I had tasted. Well, I gave up trying to figure out what the taste reminded me of, but by that time I has started to enjoy it. So Franziskaner, first impressions were misleading and I have to admit I like you.
