Schneider Weisse Hefe-Weizen

1 pint, .9 fl oz bottle (500 ml). Amber-brown appearance. Off-white head. Good retention. Rim holds steady.

Estery aroma with yeast & over ripe banana. Smooth & fruity. Floral & spicy. Bubble gum. Excellent smell; hard to describe better than that.

Lovely taste. Bright flavors. Bananas, peppery hops, wheat bread. Cloves. Hints of ginger. Bitterness level is just right; absolutely masterful. A bit of booze shows.

Notes: glad I grabbed this one. Schneider Weisse is greatly revered in decades-old beer books I own so it was only a matter time before I tried what they've been offering since before I was born. In this case, definitely a brew worth imbibing.
