From the heart of Bavaria comes Schneider Hefe-Weizen, Germany's original wheat beer. Produced in the method champagnoise style, Schneider Hefe-Weizen has a fresh yeast sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Bottle conditioning and the use of over 60% wheat malt in the brewing process creates a fruity-spicy flavor.

"500ml bottle
5.4% ABV
I tried this beer on August 24, 2008 after purchasing at one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a dark cloudy brown with a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was malted wheat, some sweetness, some cloves. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, and mildly carbonated. The flavour was less sweet than a lot of Hefeweizens, and was very drinkable."

[2] Review by beercronic from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who has tried this beer many times. (8/14/2008 12:46:56 AM)
"Ah, the champaign of Hefe's - this beer rules!
Poured with ease into my Schneider Weisse glass and I still got an enormous light tan cap that took a long time to settle down. In fact, I turned my glass on an obvious angle and the head did not bend with the liquid. Nice colour before the sediment dump, now it's just metamusil. The aroma is perfect: wheat, clove, sweetness mixed in with not-sweet bananas and I always seem to find a slight chocolate dusting in Hefe's, weak orange and possibly vanilla - all in perfect balance. The flavour is fresh and crisp with lots of excellent wheat, a good balance of clove and banana, orange and a decent yeast punch. Medium bodied, very smooth on the mouth, slight tangy taste, solid yeast/wheat/clove finish."

[3] Review by RJA from Palm Springs, FL, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/13/2008 11:00:50 AM)
"This German entry poured with a golden brown body. The head is impressive, frothy and white. Decent retention settling into a filmy lacing. The nose is tart, fruity and spicy. There’s very little sweet malt here. The Wheat is there, holding a decent complxty of fruits and hint of hops. Good crisp drink."

[4] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (6/15/2008 10:00:23 PM)
"This beer poured a cloudy golden brown colour with a thick white bubbly head. The head disappeared quickly. The aroma was predominantly wheat, with a little spice, some banana and hops. The flavour was wheat, somewhat sweet, some spice, and a little hoppish presence."

"Courtesy of southerncoronas. Pours an iced-tea light brown with a thin creamy head and lots of lacing. Good carbonation. Aromas of sweet malts, fruits - bananas, cloves. Taste is extremely smooth with a nice fruity, wheat base - An excellent hefe."
