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

Alas, I failed to rate this while I was in Munich and drinking at the Schnieder taphouse caouse it’s the only decent beer in Munich. This is a bottle from here in the states, not nearly as good as on draft. Brilliant golden amber, some ruby notes. Creamy off-white head. Sharp alcoholic, malty aroma, major yeast fruitiness, some toast. Clean somewhat sweet malty flavor, yeast fruitiness and a delicate bitterness that balances the malt. Full palate that remains for the flavor but smooths out, allowing real drinkability as well.

Pours opaque brown with a thick white head. Nose is spicy and wheaty. The flavor starts with a blend of dark fruits and wheat. Good carbonated body. Hides it’s alcohol really well. The aftertaste is straight banana.

Pours a beautiful cloudy brown rust with an immense off-white head that completes the image. Smells of wheat, yeast, and dry plums. Very floral and spicey taste. Some sweet malts and caramel at first with the clove/spice coming on in the middle before a sharp start to a lightly bitter, alcoholic finish.

Bottle from BevMo La Mesa. Nice sweet aroma, vanilla. Tastes sweet, like a Belgian abbey but its German. Roasty, sweet, earthy, wheaty in the finish. 8% abv. Excellent beer! Awesome glassware too.

(GERMANY) Amber/Brown color with a Sm-White Head. There is definitely a spicy/ alcohol aroma, with a fruity/raisin taste. But the alcohol is well hidden !!! Slight bitter finish, But a yummy brew. :)

This beer is the epitome of a great weizen bock. I had heard a lot about this beer and had high expectations, it exceeded them. The nose, of dried, rotten fruit and clove spice is incredible. The alcohol is hidden at 8.2%, and the flavor is rich but yet refreshing. My favorite night cap beer.

Dark and majestic appearance, almost violet color (perhaps my notion is influenced by the nice label). Pours a terrific head. A very complex nose with hints of banana. Flavor is enormous with all sorts of "gadgets", full-bodied and strong, this is a truly great beer. Ein Prosit!

Deep, dark, almost opaque brown. Fluffy head dissipates quickly and left no lacing. Really nice fruity, nutty, sweet aroma. Flavour of nutty fruit, malt, dates, caramel and carbonated, but to me mildly reminiscent of Coca-Cola (not a negative), but not highly sweet like the soda. No overwhelming bitterness and nice finish.
