Schneider Georg Schneiders 1608 Weissbier

Brewed by Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn
Style: Wheat Ale
Kelheim, Germany

Bottle, 5.9%. Cloudy yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour is a lot less fruity and bananay than your usual Schneider. Good refreshing hop notes. Slightly citric. Not exactly dry, but drier. That said, the beer is still OK fruity with some citrus and a hint of banana. Quite well balanced compared to many other wheat beers.

Yellow hazy beer, greenshine, under huge, yellow-tinted, dense and creamy head. Restrained banana and (ply)woodvarnish (like wandering around in a cheap kitchen showroom). Slightly sourish-fruity. Fruity taste, but with a very special alcoholic differentation, very sherry-like. Both aspects go up an down sinusoidally. Banana, citrus or pineapple juice. Very faint varnish/solvent, and again sherry, dry. Point of saltiness, banana strengthens with the yeast. Medium bodied, very spritzy, yeast turning MF more creamy of course. All in all, just a good, but unspectacular Weizen. One point extra for the sherry-like flavour. Thanks joss (or kappldav?), this seems to be a rare one!

Bottle courtesy of kappldav123. Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. Smells of pepper, bananas, coriander, bubblegum, some spice. tastes spicy with a nice peppery touch, some clove and banana and a nice straw-like finish.

Bottle @ Schneider Weiss Haus in Munich. Very similar to an American styled wheat beer. Clear yellow pour. Has hefe like qualities of banana, cloves, lemony citrus. Clean & crisp. Nice beer

[Bottle #077969--thanks, pivnizub!] Spicy clove aroma with some sweet malt and notes of citrus, corriander, and just a touch of banana. Murky yellowish-brown with a monsoon of effervescence feeding a rocky, off-white, shiny mountain. Spicy clove and malt that is dry and practically vinous with a delicious blend of spicy malt, citrusy and maybe a little pine-y noble hops, bitterness, and carbonation. Extremely refreshing with the wheat sourness, yet nearly 6% ABV--very impressive. Light body, high carbonation, slightly waxy finish.

(bottle) pours a deeply hazy golden-orange colour with a creamy white head. aroma of strong banana esters and citric hop spices, cloves and wheat, cheesecake, wonderfully balanced. flavour is wheat and banana, caramel, light notes of hop spice, clove and pineapple. medium body, lively carbonation, dry, light sourish finish. outstanding stuff!

(Bottle) thanks to Joss for this special weiss. Nose of good yeast, mild iodine and honey. Thin lasting white head and a clear mildly carbonation. Flavour is very smooth with perhaps more lemon tartness to balance the soft, bruised bananas. Finishes with a creamy dab.

Bottle #009957. Cloudy dark yellow, big lacing eggshell cream. Clean fruity and spicy nose - apples, cloves, a bit banana. Same tastenotes go again in the flavo, complemented by a light vanila and mint note - immense stayingpower without becomming cloying. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Banana and spice aftertaste.
