A - Awesome looking stuff - exactly how a wheat beer should look. Big billowing blonde foam that eventually settles to about 2-3 fingers before slowly dissipating to a half-finger cap and leaves lots of sticky lacing. S - Cloves, banana, wheat, pepper. Potent and lovely smelling stuff. T - The taste is a little more subdued with mostly sweet malted wheat and banana flavors, and a bubble-gum finish. The clove and pepper seems to disappear, and there is a minimal aftertaste. M - Lively carbonation, medium body, creamy texture, clean finish. D - Super drinkable with a great clean taste - definite summer beer.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2012 Hazy yellow colour with a white head. Wheat, light citric and some banana in the aroma. A nice smooth flavour with lots of wheat sweetness. Fruity notes and light banana flavour.
Bottle from Systembolaget in Strømstad, Sweden.

Weizenbeers are still my favourite beers, this one is not an excpetion! ;)

0.5 l bottle from kz metlika Ljubljana. Pours beautiful yellow - golden colour and when you pour sediment gets completely hazy. Massive head lasts quite a while. Smell is all clove for me, some bananas and bready yeast. Minimal alcohol smell, which I’m not used to a this type of beer, but it isn’t disturbing. Taste is everything you got on the nose (in huge quantities). Despite all the tastes, this beer still feels super fresh. Mouthfeel is crispy, just a bit watery, but in a good, refreshing way. Beer leaves nice sour aftertaste with bit of hop biterness. All summed up, this is one of the best summer refreshments you can get. Full of taste, easy sessionable. Schneider weisse did it again.

Dobre piwo i odpowiednio mocno zmętnione. Wspaniale zmienia barwę i intensywnie staje się brudne. W smaku pikantna nuta kwaskowa która uprzyjemnia spożywanie posiłków.

Very good beer! Poured with a nice off white head that soon settled down and no lace. Color is a hazy/cloudy apricot amber. Aroma is yeast, malt, caramel, citrus, and other fruit. Flavor is similar to aroma with the following qualifications: more tang, more apricot, not too sweet ( just right actually), and all complimenting one another to a lovely whole. Body is good and so is carbonation. Finish is like flavor and tapers very slowly with a slight fruity tartness at the very end. Very easy to like and drink this potion of oral pleasure.

Lovely hints of fruit and cloves with the sort of bite that makes your thankful for tastebuds. This brew is an excellent example of German craftmanship.

Orange color, perfect head. Aroma: Cloves, banana, tutti frutti. Palate: Malt, a little sweet, fruity, good bitter. Nice beer.

On tap at Schneider Weisses Brauhaus.
Appearance : Hazy blonde with a foamy and creamy head. Extensive lacing.
Aroma : Nice malt and wheat with a little citrusy tart touch. Lots of wheat with notes of banana with some spices.
Taste : Lots of wheat with strong notes of banana. Slightly dusty on the finish. Nice banana bread notes on the finish. Rather dry and slightly bitter. Very enjoyable palate. Fizzy carbonation but not too much.
Overall : wow this was good. I don’t know what was happening with this beer but the regular weisse my girlfriend had was no match for this one. Not too much wheat in my opinion with a great crispiness. Very refreshing and drinkable. It was like the regular weisse but they find a way to make it crisp a lightly tart so you can drink pints of it without feeling full. I was impressed. Maybe a bit simple overall but close to perfection.

Bottle. A - Clouded orangish gold color, a bit more amber/brown than other more yellow/golden Hefeweizens. Large, thick, creamy white head. Very good retention. S - Normal Hefeweizen smells. Good amount of grain/wheat. Some clove and a bit of banana. Some other faint fruity smells. T - Typical Hefe flavors. Good malted wheat base. Healthy amount of clove (more than other Hefes). Also probably slightly more banana and other fruit flavors than other Hefes. Lots of citrus, orange being most prominent and some lemon. Finishes with good amount of medicinal and some alcohol flavors. M - Medium body with good carbonation. Creamy and smooth. D - Really nice drinkability. Goes down smooth and easy. Full feel in the mouth with flavors that don’t kill the palate, but make me come back for more. Notes: Nice Hefe that as a bit more of a spice/medicinal/alcohol kick than others. Also a bit more fruit flavors. Quite enjoyable, and perfect for summer or just an easy to drink beer.
