Schneider & Sohn Schneider Weisse Hefe -Weizen

Odd thing, here. I find this posted on BeerAdvocate as "Schneider Weisse Tap 7 Unser Original", and I haven't a clue what that means. Whatever it's sorted as, Schneider Weisse remains of my favorites hefe weizens, and here are my notes from March, 2003:


The color here is not what the average beer drinker expects a hefe to have, but this is the Bavarian style. A muddy dark orangish, nearly brown near the crown, lighter at the foot. The head on it is full,lush,voluminous, white.

Aroma is light, sweet, soft, delicious, delightful, focusing on flavors of citrus (lemon), honey, flowers, and mild spices.

 Texture and mouthfeel is extraordinarily smooth, with a graininess up front that fades fast.

Clean, brisk, uncomplicated, easily drunk, and yet brimming with taste. Substantial body, perfect malt, and a swift, but recurring, bright and lively finish. Citrusy hops return again and again to delight the tastebuds.

A very flavorful weizen, and a perfect brew for mealtime, hot Julytime, feellikehavinganotherbeertime.
