Im not going to debate how to pour a beer in this review, but I will tell you that if you pour a beer like me and you want to try New Glaruss Copper Kettle Weiss, you better have some time on your hands. An average pour will yield six good inches of thick-bubbled foam. And thats just from pouring half the bottle. While it settles you can go milk the cows, then come back and pour the rest of the bottle in the glass. Be careful, though, because it might still overflow after all that, and itd be a damn shame to waste a single drop of this fine beer.
The Copper Kettle is a dunkel weissa dark wheat beerand is as authentic as anything you will ever run across in Bavaria. It pours a gorgeous hazy copper with the aforementioned massive head. Those in the know will tell you one of the main reasons to pour the way I do is that it really brings out the beers aroma. And this beers got distinctive aroma in spades. Imagine a typical Bavarian wheats banana/clove fruitiness mashed up with a healthy dose of caramel. Its not as heavy body-wise as a few German dunkels out there, which only adds to the appealthe fruit/caramel combo lingers throughout the sipping, with a chocolately effervescence on the end that gives you visions of a mad culinary scientist spiking a bottle of champagne with a shot of cacao. New Glarus has given us the perfect September beer: a refreshing fruitiness to remind us summer isnt altogether dead yet, with a touch of darkness and body to let us know autumn is looming on the horizon. So next time you have loads of time to kill, grab a six-pack, pour, watch and enjoy. And when youre pouring, be sure to tell all those beer-pouring experts where they can shove their advice. (In case you dont know where that is, its right up the butt. Their butts, not yours.)
