BTW, is that light or dark beer?

Weiss or Weizen=white (refers to color, not calories).

Dunkel=Dark

So, Tucher Weizen would be classified as light, I guess.  It's a wheat beer that is top-fermented without yeast.  It has plenty of carbonation, as you'll even find bits of foam in an empty glass.  It's creamy, a little on the sweet side, and goes down smoooooooooooth!

Would you compare it to a Boddington's?  Maybe Harp?  What about the alcohol content - about the same as American, or will it knock me on my butt?

I have never had a "real" German beer, and I want to watch my limits whilst in a new town...lol

[BleacherBull]

Alcohol content is 5.3%, I think.  I was wrong about one thing in my earlier description.  It is, in fact, brewed with yeast, which gives it a touch of cloudiness.  I am not really familiar with the two beers you mentioned, though I'm fairly certain it is not like Harp.  I have never really been a fan of German beer, preferring English bitter beer instead, but Tucher Weizen draft is one I really do like and recommend.

Ich liebe Berliner Kindl Weisse. Das ist ein sehr gutes Bier, although the alcohol level is not even 3% I think.
