Schneider Weisse, Hefe-Weizen (The Original German Hefe-Weizen, Ale)


Schneider Weisse, Hefe-Weizen: German Style Wheat Ale, ? ABV, 1pint 0.9 oz, Bottle Fermented

Brewed by G. Scheidner & Sohn according to the Reinheitsgebot, product of Bavaria/Germany.

The first thing you will notice is that this Hefe-Weizen is darker in color than it’s U.S. counter parts. The aroma is malty with hints of clove. The taste is sweet with hints of spice and cloves; there is no need for any additional fruit flavor so put away that lemon. The mouth feel is light and refreshing and has the feel of a sweet Champaign. It’s hard to belief that they got such a great beer while sticking to the Reinheitsgebot law.

I would combine this brew with any summer time favorite Grilled Chicken, Roasted Pork, Watermelon, or hey what the hell more beer.

After a long day of working on tile it feels good to sit down to a nice German Hefe-Weizen. This is an excellent summer beer and happens to be one of my personal favorites. I recall spending at least an hour in front of their booth at a Hops Festival and spending most of my chips drinking one after another. Trust me this beer may be more expensive than your average brew but it is worth it.
