Almondweisse

A collaboration between Bucket Boys and The Empire Hotel in Annandale for Sydney Beer Week 2017.

As part of our Bucket Full of Tassie food and beer pairing event, a number of beers were brewed to match a gourmet menu from the kitchen.

We made a hefeweizen with a twist, which was matched with the pork and speck dish made with rich meat stock, smoked meat, garlic, mustard, potato, tomato, mustard.

The beer starts with the bitter almond on the front of the palate, which resembles the flavour of Amaretto, and then makes way for the combination of the banana and clove esters that are signature to the style. It matches perfectly with the delicate meat dish providing an interesting contrast between the two.
