Schneider Aventinus

Pours hazy orange/brown, off white head. Aroma is very nice, sweet bananas and chocolate with malt and caramel. Some fruitiness also. A very drinkable beer for 8.2%, barely taste the alcohol at then end. Sweet flavour of caramel and banana, some nice roasted malt, slight bitterness at the end. Enough dryness in finishing to make you want another sip but still pleasant. Very good.

Hazy amber with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with ripe fruits, roasted malt, wheat and caramel hotes. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, wheat, yeasty and banana notes. Ends sweet.

Bottle. Not my type of beer, far too shallow and piquant. Decent enough on the nose, amost exotic. Very insubstantial on the palate, with unsatisfying mouthfeel. Overall not something I’ll repeat.

Hazy, dirty orange-brown color with cloudy, beige head. Sweet malty aroma is banana-like and a bit caramely. Sweet and sour flavor is malty, spicy, citric, yeasty and alcoholic. Quite full-bodied and foamy carbonated palate. Reminds me of some belgian strong ales, especially aftertaste.

From bottle. Pours deep cloudy amber-brown with a generous tan head. Classic German weizen aroma. Sweet start on the palate but finishes slightly sour. Very complex. Deceptively smooth - no hint of 8+% alcohol. No chocolate flavors because I drink it too quickly.

Creamy top on a hazy maroon bottom. Jammy, strong cloves and banana with smoky wisps of chocolate and spicy fruit cake. Piqaunt, racing carbonation, plumy sweetness and acidity into a drying alcohol finish. Fluffy, slick and full.

Delicious, strong and spicy; a different beast when young!

50 cl bottle, best before 25 June 2009.

smells incredible. Yeasty, a little musty, some alcohol, comes together somehow sweet and makes me want to sniff it instead of drink it. nice big white bubbly head on top of a murky brown body. Robust flavor with banana notes, hefe flavors, semi sweet caramel along with a nice dark malt presence and quite a bit of alcohol. warming as it goes down but the alcohol flavor isn’t obtrusive at all, even though it’s very noticeable. it fits in with the other flavors. chocolate flavor is very subdued but it’s there if you let it warm up. this is rated highly for a reason, and at $3.99 a bottle it’s a no brainer. i’m not the biggest wheat/hefe fan but if you are this is going to knock your head off.

One of my favorites. Pours a dark redish hue with a considerable tan head. Aroma of wheat, malt, and citrus, very nice. Can taste wheat, spice, and dark cherry. Mouthfeel is perfect, not to thin but easy to drink. Strong beer, it sneaks up on you, its easy to forget that it is 8.2 because it tastes so smooth. One of the best out there.
