Dec 22, 2008 A good hefeweizen that does not quite make the top tier. For me, this beer might suffer most from comparisons within the Schneider und Sohn family of beers than from comparisons to its actual style competition. Aventinus is a wonderful beer that makes the brewery really shine. This beer has a similar but toned down spicy wheat flavor. It is still far better than the vast majority of wheat beers. Schneider has an extremely special wheat flavor, and Aventinus expresses this flavor best. This beer mutes the flavor somewhat for a drier, less fruity experience. The flavor is still very good, full of spice and fruit, banana, esters. It is a very drinkable beer, even amongst other hefeweizens. The feel is a touch watery but otherwise very nice. The appearance is great. A column of dusky amber liquid glows beneath a frothy head. Little lacing remains as the head fades away, but the color makes up for it.

Dec 20, 2008 Poured slightly darker than I thought it would - close to a dunkel I poured yesterday. Cloudy haze with white head. Head did not last. Crisp in the glass. Aroma of bananas and some spice, sourness and vanilla. Flavor had a sour start - sour fruit. Smoothed into a sweetness. Highly carbonated so danced on the tongue with a clean finish.

Dec 18, 2008 Very light brown body over an off white head. Nice smell of yeast, clove and other spices. Tasted of banana and clove with a slight bitterness. Watery palate, clean and quick to finish. Refreshing, but I like my weisse a bit sweeter.

Dec 17, 2008 500 mL into weizen glass. Pours a clear amber with a decent off-white head. Aroma of bananas, wheat, and orange peel. Taste is a little like apple cider with some sweet bread, corn, and metallic notes in the finish. Creamy mouthfeel. A disappointment.

Dec 12, 2008 500ml bottle into weizen glass. Murky orangey brown beer with a dense foamy lasting white head. Vigorous nose of spicy yeasts caramel wheat and lemon rind. Thick creamy palate with flavours of bananas cloves oranges and lemons. Maybe a hint of liquorice to finish. Very well integrated. It is considered a classic of the genre for very good reason IMHO.

Dec 7, 2008 Pours a cloudy yellow color with a medium sized white head. Nose is banana clove, wheat and some corn. Taste is the same but the mouthfeel is kind of awkward and feels rough. Also some corn on the back end.
