Schmucker Hefe-Weizen

Brewed by Privat-Brauerei Schmucker
Style: German Hefeweizen
Mossautal, Hessen, Germany

Bottle, 5.0%. Citric aroma with a bit of fat fruitiness. Cloudy yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour is OK citric with a bit of clean yeast and fruit. Has a bit of band aid in the finish, but it is not really a problem.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of wheat and banana. The flavor is sweet with notes of wheat, banana, and bread, leading to a dry wheaty finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

The bottle looks like all Schmucker-bottles. The beer in the glass is okay, very turbid. The beer starts mild, modest fruity, very yeasty. A bit like peach, not too sourish. Very drinkable and good hefeweizen!

Bottle. Smoked meat, banana, and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy yellow orange color with large white head. Sweet orange, banana, clove wheat malt flavor with a hint of smokiness. Moderate carbonation. Outside of Bamberg, this is the first Hefe I’ve ever had that had any smokiness to it. Very nice beer - very unique.

Pours a hazy golden orange. Aromas of bread/clove/ and some fruit. Had a taste of yeasty bread with some spice.

500ml bottle: pours the usual cloudy yellow with a big thick white head. Very aggressive carbonation streaming upwards. Light grain and yeasty aroma but very little, if any, notes of bana or spice. I prefer my hefes to have banana notes but this will suffice. Flavor also lacks the typical hefe phenols and instead relies totally on the wheat and hops to carry it. And they do a pretty good job. If you don’t care for the banana in most hefeweizens, this is probably your cup of (tea) beer.

[on tap, Poggio] Light golden body, generous white head. Mostly hoppy aroma. Clean and rather dry taste; just some traces of banana and chewing-gum. Nice citric charcater. Not bad, not too deep.
