Schneider Aventinus

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

The beer pours a nebulous mahogany with orange highlights; the head is preposterous in size, the structure frothy, the color a medium tan. Nose is a tad yeasty, sweet malt, pleasing to the senses, start is ambrosial, and the top middling in feel. Finish has a crisp acidic bite, the hops subdued, the aftertaste dry and long lasting, a quite nice beer, as I have always been partial to the “Bock” family.

This beer cleans up in the appearance department. Good bottle and label, huge corky camel-colored head, cloudy rootbeer brown brew. The aroma is good but mild except of the alcohol. Very warming bock, a bit tart. Woody, grainy, peppery, banana taffy flavor. Perhaps a stab of anise or coriander. A worthy brew, and better as it warmed and lost the CO2 sting.

Had this the other day, and unfortunately forgot to rate it. The pour was a dark brown, with very minimal head. I remember the flavor being really rich, robust, wheaty and malty, but not much else. Damn. It was so good, too.

Cloudy amber color, tall foamy head. Fruit, wheat, yeast and banana aroma. Flavor is quite heavy, wheat, spices and strong banana tones. Smooth and complex.

Bottle pours murky reddish brown, milky off-white head, light lacing, with numerous streams of bubbles eminating from the depths.   Wheat malts, cloves, and banana on the nose.   Forwardly wheaty, with hints of the aformentioned cloves and bananas.   Wonderful mouthfeel, full bodied, a bit too much on the carbonation side but its overlookable.   Solid flavor throughout, from beginning to finish.   I don’t think I could say enough about this beer other than its my absolute undeniable favorite Weizen Bock, and overall one of my favorites of all styles.   This is a must try!

Bottle. Cloudy, middling brown colour with a moderate, short-lived tan head. Aroma of yeast, cloves and sweet fruit. Mouth was smooth for a beer of this strength, with only a touch of warming alcohol. Flavour had a mild touch of bananas with more yeast and some caramel. Finish was spicy. Excellent.

Cloudy brown color with a thick creamy light brown head. Aroma of spice and bananas. Malty flavor with hints of caramel and bananas.

[204-20070209] 500mL. Strong fruity banana aroma. Clear, dark brown body with a huge off-white foamy head. Very banana fruit flavour with sweet malted tones. Medium body. Very nice togetherness, best to share and well-paired with pork roast. (Go banan--I mean, birthday!)
