Beer "Edelweiss" unfiltered: age-old traditions of quality

What can be more pleasant on a hot day than to drink a bottle of delicious cool drink with friends? Especially after several hours of exhausting work, when I want to refresh myself so much. As men probably already guessed, it's about beer - dark, light, barley, wheat, unfiltered, lively and many other varieties are represented in large numbers on supermarket shelves.

Among a huge selection of a suitable drink can sometimes be difficult. Then it is worth paying attention to something new and crystal clear, produced in the picturesque village of Austria, in the mountains. Everyone who has tried at least once the beer "Edelweiss" unfiltered - the classic wheat ale, will never be able to forget its soft taste and light floral fragrance. All the freshness of the Alpine mountains, cooling the coolness of thawed water, was carefully collected and preserved by the producers, placing them in a glass bottle.

Flower of Love

Since the beginning of the 2000s, the world famous Heineken International company has been producing beverages. At the brewery Kaltenhausen they make a delicious drink named after the flower, which is spread in the highlands of the country. This is the first brewery that started brewing wheat beer more than 350 years ago at the foot of the Alps. Brand "Edelweiss" was created quite recently - in 1986, but already had time to fall in love with many. The plant is located in the crevices of the mountains, where beer is naturally cooled by the action of circulating air currents. In places where peace is rarely disturbed by man and where a beautiful flower grows high in the mountains. Perhaps, that is why a lot of beautiful legends are associated with the plant, in honor of which the "Edelweiss" beer is named.

Edelweiss is a symbol of love, a happy and long life, clean and fresh. One of the stories is about a beautiful witch girl who lived in the mountains. She loved the whole earthly boy with all her heart, but could not go down to him. An insurmountable barrier was on their way. Where the bitter tears of the lover fell, flowers immediately grew as a symbol of immaculate and sincere love.

Varieties of beer

The company is gradually updating the range. Producers, focusing on the future, try to combine the traditional quality of the drink with modern trends and the rhythm of life. The brand produces several excellent beers:

• Amber (Hofbräu) - a golden hue with the aroma of banana and barely noticeable sourness;
• Wheat sparkling unfiltered (Hefetrüb) - with a flavor of fruit and a spicy aroma of a banana;
• Dark (Dunkel) - a rich brown color, slightly giving off notes of vanilla and cinnamon;
• White wheat (Gamsbock) - with a malty aftertaste and a strong taste that distinguishes varieties of white beer, relatively strong, masculine;
• Alkoholfrei - with the aroma of caramel, lightly toasted wheat grains, dried fruits and a banana.
