Schneider Georg Schneiders Wiesen Edel-Weisse

Brewed by Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn
Style: German Hefeweizen
Kelheim, Germany

Pours a hazy straw yellow with white head. Citrus, floral notes, lemon zest, banana, wheat grain. Also a bit of spice. An excellent hefe that is very refreshing and drinkable.

Cloudy yellow/orange with a medium sudsy white head (I prefer creamy heads on hefe’s). Nice spicy banana wheat aroma. Flavor is heavily citrus and clove, very spicy. Peppery finish, and again cloves and some vanilla. Nice full palate, but still light and drinkable. Different.

Bottle. Light notes of grain and cereal, moderate aromas of lemon, barnyard and musty up front, with pear, clove and wet paper in the background. head is small, fizzy/frothy, white with fair lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is clear amber. Flavor starts moderately sweet and acidic and finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, watery to creamy in texture and has a lively carbonation. Texture and body was perfect for this type of beer. One of the better Weisse beers I’ve had.

Bottled, 500ml. Golden amber with white head. Smooth, fruity weizen, initially quite light but still quite a depth of flavour with a banana note to the fore. Spicy, probably more than my tastebuds can cope with, clove and corriander seed come to mind, then a yeasty, wheaty finish with a slighly herby hop. Certainly a well crafted beer and much enjoyed.

Pours a hazy golden orange/honey lemon tea color. Head is light, fizzy, and dissipates remarkably fast for a Bavarian weizen but this one is cold and not served in proper glassware either. It’s aromatic and fruity. The requisite banana is there. So is the yeast and yogurt smells but there is also papaya and even citrus. That pineapple aromas might be due to the somewhat surprising addition of organic Cascade hops. The palate on this baby is superb. It bursts in the mouth then subsides for easy sipping. Creamy, soft, and playful. Flavors are all in the right place at the right time. There is considerable complexity here. Hops are predominant in the aftertaste but considerably challenged by the hefe. Balanced and honed as a German car.

Bottle. Hazy golden color with a thin white head. Wheat and yeast all over the aroma - light hops, orange, slight spice notes (coriander, pepper, cinnamon). Flavor is simple but enjoyable. Light finish. Nice beer.

Strong grain and yeast aroma. Cloudy dark golden color with a small white head. Sweet grain taste that fades to a slight bitterness. Light bodied for a hefeweizen.

Pours a golden yellow with a slight orange tint and a huge foamy white head. Sweet citrusy aroma with hints of lemmon and orange peel, yeast and alcohol. Very smooth crisp flavorful beer. Tastes of lemon, orange, banana with a slight touch of sour matly alcohol.
