for me i think it was this - when i first had it i wasn't tooo experienced with hefes but i always enjoyed franziskaner, paulaner, and even occasionally the schneider. i never got into the domestic take on the style because i didn't think they could compare. all 3 i mentioned above, i think, are good beers but are quite similar in so many ways. i had trouble picking a favorite (franziskaner, fwiw).
then one day i was hanging out poolside, late afternoon, had just had an amazing meal and decided to try the new hefe i'd bought at the store. fireworks in my head for that beer. "so this is what the german hefe is all about. they all taste so similar but not enough like this"
i expected a mediocre beer and was surprised by how great it was.
now when i return to it i expect a great beer and, yeah, it delivers, but it's not the same of course. |
I love the Schneider beers, they're awesome. Still never had Paulaner or Franziskaner though (nobody around here sells them )
