Schwaben Bräu Das Weizen

Brewed by Dinkelacker-Schwaben Bräu (InBev)
Style: German Hefeweizen
Stuttgart, Germany

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Fine foam. The beer is not as fruity as other hefeweizens, more dry. The finish is malty-dry, a little bit boring. Nevertheless a drinkable hefeweizen.

Golden, hazy with a nice head. The aroma has earthy notes of wheat and some fruit. The flavour is a bit edgy with a sharp acidic note in the beginning of the flavour, but then it gives room for banana and wheat and the finish is round and smooth. OK, but a bit on the thin side.

Bottle, bought @ Riepen, Harrislee. Pours a little hazy pale yellow-orange. A small creamy white head settles nicely, super lacing. Aroma has lots of banana and a wheaty background. Medium mouthfeel. Flavour is a bit filled with off flavours... some sort of grainy cardboard. There is the usual hefe flavours, banana, yeast and wheat. Not too fantastic.

Bottle. Very good beer. Nice in the taste. Sweet Finish. Banana Taste. Very Good Weizen.

Bottle. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate yeasty light hoppy aroma. Nice mango fruity notes in flavor and aroma. Light bitter flavor. Oily palate. OK Hefe.

Bottle: Dull golden, cloudy, large frothy white head, spotty lacing, moderate carbonation.   Wheaty nose, slight banana & clove.   Moderate flavors of wheat, banana, & clove.   Not heavy like other examples.   Pleasant.   Bready finish.   Lighter bodied than others, but still quite enjoyable.   Likely easier to fill up on these than say Paulaner.   Thanks for sharing danem!

Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a medium white mostly lasting head. Aroma and taste of yeast and wheat. Ok weizen.

[Bottle from Alexander, Bonn]. Typical mainstream german hefe weizen with good unfiltered look, banana yeast and taste. Lacks a little in body.
