Schneider Weisse Leicht

Bottle. Slightly sour wheat malt and banana aroma. Cloudy orange-yellow color with large head and nice lacing. Light wheat malt flavor with a hint of banana. Extremely light body and watery finish. Nothing objectionable but not too far from mineral water.

ON tap; this has to be my first light hefeweizen. Color was a cloudy, ruddy gold. Aroma of banana and sweet malt. Aroma was definitely top notch for a light version of the style. Flavor was sweet, but a bit dull. Better than expected.

50cl bottle @ Munchen. Pours hazy pale yellow with a small white creamy foam. Nose is mild of wheat, grain, citrus and banana. Medium to smooth palate. Lots of grain. Ends dry. A very fine Leichtes Hefe.

Bottled (from beerangel.de). Hazy deep orange colour, mediumsized white creamy head, some lace. Aroma is banana, earth, some herbs as well as mild nutty notes. Flavour is nuts, some fruits, mild earth and some yeast. Quite watery palate, but drinkable.

Draught at Schneider Weisses Brauhaus, Munich.
Hazy apricot coloured, medium sized white head, some weak banana and canned corn in the nose. Weak aroma of banana and cloves with such unexpected watery palate. Some hops in the finish, but away too thin.

Bottle: Cloudy, firm beaten-egg-white like foam, orangey coloured; solid aroma of bananas and cloves with a sourish-wheaty background; moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, light bodied without being watery; almost lingering bananaey-clovey finish with sourish-wheaty notes in the afzertaste. Quite tasty for a beer of 3.3%...........

Biggish offwhite head. Hazy orange body. Neutral yeasty aroma with fruity notes. Dry wheaty yeasty taste with acidic citric notes and some ash. Some background fruitiness and spiciness. Rather neutral, and a bit sharpish. All right, but not very good. (0.5l bottle in some trattoria, München.)
