Schneider Aventinus

Brewed by Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn
Style: Weizen Bock
Kelheim, Germany

Pours Murky brown-amber with a dense medium tan head. Aroma - Lots of clove, yeast, and caramel. Taste - clove, yeast, & caramel malts finishing off with some bitterness. Overall - This is a great beer that hides the 8.2% very well. It’s very drinkable and and has a very creamy mouth feel would definitely drink this again. It’s a real tough decision but I think I’d go with Ayinger Celebrator as a winner though both are great beers. Aventinus is just too strong on the cloves and it cover most of the other flavors, although the smell if Aventinus is better. But in the end you drink the beer more than smelling it.

Great beer. Pour dark with a very small head. Aroma of fruits and spices. Some cloves in aroma. Flavor same as aroma. Very good.

Hazy, rocky head, fruity aroma. Caramel and yeast aroma and taste. Very drinkable. an excellent beer.

Bottle, 50cl. Pours an ambercolored beer with a firm offwhite head. The aroma is fruit, alcohol, raisin/plum and cloves. The flavor is malt, hay, alcohol and fruits. The palate is bold with a good carbonation. Good bock.

500mL pours a slightly cloudy reddish-amber with loads of white head, probably 3 fingers. Strong carbonation leads to plenty of champagne bubbles to keep the frothy head alive. Strong aroma of sour fruit like lemon with plenty of summer wheat or rye. Starts smooth with a bold sour aftertaste and a dry finish. Dissolves across the palate, with a bit of a soapy feel. Surprisingly astringent for only having 8% ABV.

500 ml bottle in weizen glass. Cloudy reddish brown with lasting soft head and lace. Strong banana bubblegum and clove aroma. Richy fruity flavor with mild caramel and tangy bready wheat finish. Medium-full body and creamy texture. Definitely a classic. Awesome. I’ve had this many times, including at the taphouse just off the Marienplatz. I’m glad I didn’t rate the grungy bottom-of-keg pour that I had last month at BT.

Bottled, tnx to DH8VV. Color is hazy dark rown with warm nut brown transparency. Huge off-white head and sweet nose where the alcoholic kick comes through. Aroma is dominated y sweetness and stingy alcohol, which should have been hidden better. Reminds me the Weizens but finished as duppelbock. Flavour is dominated by malts, alcohol.

Pours a dark brick red with a thick white head. Aroma of cloves, banana and brown sugar. Flavors of banana, vanilla and roasted malt with a hint of bitterness. Highly carbonated and VERY refreshing. An outstanding beer.
