The Grafenwalder Vehnäolut is a wheat beer, more specifically a Hefeweizen. Grafenwalder is a beer brand by the international supermarket chain Lidl. The Grafenwalder Vehnäolut is a wheat beer specifically aimed for the Finnish market since Finnish supermarket beers are only allowed to have a maximum of 4.7% alcohol in them. The beer is presumably (I say presumably since the can doesn't mention the brewer) brewed by Lindenbrauerei Unna, a brewery belonging to the Oetker Group, a large German company that produces various food products.
Taste: The Grafenwalder Vehnäolut is a light/medium-bodied Hefeweizen which starts off with a slight sweet fruity banana taste. It then delivers a typical sweet wheaty malt body with a faint yeasty aroma and finishes with a very faint hoppiness.
Overall, The Grafenwalder Vehnäolut is a surpisingly well-accomplished Hefeweizen considering the cheap price and the bulk quality. It doesn't deliver as wide a spectrum of flavors as, for example the Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier, but then again it's ridiculous to expect that. For a supermarket wheat beer it's an excellent choice with easy drinkability.
