Schneider Aventinus

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

Bottle - The prettiest beer I have yet to see: A dark brownish ruby color with a thick white head. Sweet on the palate and the high alcohol content warms the stomach.

Ruby red, rich malt, cherries, very little hop profile but perfectly working in the background to balance the malt. I love this beer.

Hazy pour with a deep prune color. Nose is flowers, fruit (pears, blueberry), and significant amounts of yeast. Taste is adventurously sweet and strong, but comfort is found in a familiar wheat and clove notes. Carbonation dancing on the tongue with a spritzer palate similar to brews made by Unibroue. Lingers sweet. Incredibly Satisfying. One of the best wheat beers, period.

Bottle from Westmere in Albany. Pours very dark brown with great carbonation. Tastes of banana bread. Alcohol is well hidden. One of my favorite beers.

Bottle. I absolutely loved this. Beautiful and aromatic, malty and fruity as one would expect of the style.

Best Weizen Bock ever for sure. Pours a deep amber orange with a nice head of off white bubbles. Aromas of malt, clove, and soft banana. Clean malty slight-citrus flavor hits the tongue with a perfect amount of carbonation before giving way to caramel, banana, apricot, and hard candy. Then a clove like hop finish before going away leaving the palate awake and wanting more. World Class!

Thick wheaty and sweet aroma, both one of the sweetest and wheatiest aromas I have smelled. Plenty of spices in there as well as a touch of chocolate. Pours a dark unclear brown with a very quickly dissipating head. Looks to be quite carbonated. Not as sweet as the aroma would predict, beautiful beer. Sticky on the lips, long and complex aftertaste. Alcohol is extremely well hidden but after drinking 500mL you can feel the 8.2%. I REALLY like this beer, I can’t believe I only bought one bottle. Have to find more!

Unusual favor, you can’t really compare it to any other beer out there. But, hands down this is one the world’s top 10 best beers.
