Day #31- Michelob Dunkelweisse

Michelob has always been a joke in the beer area historically for me. However, Michelob's Dunkelweisse completely delivers in this dark wheat beer.

Dark wheat beer is a new thing for me. I have never really partaken in its glory, and have no real expertise on the dunkel... However, I am a fan. And of all people, Michelob delivers.

Who would have thought the maker of the infamous "Mich Ultra" could produce something of this quality? What a surprise.

The dark beer mixed with a wheat beer? What is this craziness? I put it under my nose, closed my eyes and if I hadn't previously looked at the color, I would have expected light goldenrod! Whoa! WOwwEE.

Anyway, the entire experience was very enjoyable. The taste of dark wheat and malt teased my tastebuds, making me think this beer was a hefeweizen and then a brown ale. Complexities abound, expectations are superseded, and Michelob is almost respected in my book.

Brett's ratings are out of 100.

*Please understand that ratings on this scale have been influenced by my scholastic history of grading. A grade below 75 is not good, it is less than average. A beer below 60 is bad. Beers in the 90s are in the upper-echelon of beers on this earth, and above 95- divinely inspired.*

As with all connoisseurs, personal taste affects all ratings. The best ratings tend to lean towards his two different biases; 1) Well-crafted heavy Stouts and 2) Lagers made with a simple perfection.

Please understand that just because Brett gives a beer a high rating doesn't mean you may think it is good. Only understand that if he gives it a high rating it is because most people who have a good taste in beer would do the same.
