Enchanting lemony banana-clove essence, burrowed sourdough recline and amiable butterscotch subtlety consume hearty frothy-headed golden-clouded medium body. Natural yeast sediment coats crisp citric flourish, subtle floral bouquet and biscuit-y wheat foundation as spicy hop fizz advances. In comparison to Wiehenstephaner Hefeweiss, doughy sweetness seems creamier. The perfect German hefe not far removed from drier, fruitier Belgian ales.

SCHNEIDER WEISSE HEFE-WEIZENHELL
(UINTA) GOLDEN SPIKE HEFEWEIZEN
(DER HIRSCH) HIRSCH BAVARIAN-WEISSBIER HEFEWEISSE
Slightly turbid whitish-strawed medium-bodied Bavarian weisse flings wispy cotton-candied banana-clove sweetness and brown-sugared vanilla creaming against doughy yeast souring. Dry plantain acridity contrasts sweet butterscotch nip at the midst. Floral-tinged orange tang ascends above candied nut reminder and salted butter fizz in dry wheat-chaffed setting that’s somehow reminiscent of Belgian-styled Celis White Ale.

SCHNEIDER WEISSE ORIGINAL
Pronounced floral yeast succulence, bright lemony spritz and easygoing clove-nutmeg spicing introduce cloudy copper moderate body. Subtle orange peel bitterness overrides vanilla-creamed banana-bubblegum sufficiency and red cherry snip at midst. But explosive carbolic resilience intrudes upon modest wheat cracker spine and banana nut bread finish, leaving phenol aftertaste.

SCHNEIDER WIESEN EDEL-WEISSE
Delectable white-headed yellow-cleared moderation (a.k.a. Tap 4 Mein Grunes circa ’13) douses heavenly butterscotch creaminess inside dried banana tartness to bubble-gummy center. Floral-dusted clove-coriander-cardamom prickle nudges black peppered hop bittering, burnt wood chip salience and doughy mildew sinew. Moldy lemon-orange-peach tang precedes arid wheat wine finish. Compares favorably to Franziskaner brews.
