Weißbier
Private Landbrauerei Schönram

 

 

 

Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Mid amber, slightly hazy, poured with a swift to form 3Cm off-white foamy head.
S- Classic wheat/weisse nose, clear ester-y notes incl banana.
T- Follows the smell closely, wall to wall ester notes, spices and banana.
F- It also has that aspect where that trad feel is 'rounded', that features in some wheat beers such as this. That also means the hops are present but quite subtle in the mix. CO2 remains unusually *huge* in the mouth; striking.
O- A very pleasant trad weissen. Absolutely zero hint of it's respectable 5.6% ABV. They could teach Guinness a thing or two about retention of natural foam heads. Overall very nice but wouldn't (personally!) have minded a bit more presence from the ABV%.
Review/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the lables to see what I missed! Well firstly it's bottle conditioned with sediment remaining there. Lable (in German) lays on how trad it is, ete etc. Therefore, also, no surprises in the trad ingredients listed. ps lable is ecactly the same still as that shown above.

Bottle of schonramer bier drank.

Schönramer Weissbier has an extremely thick, foamy, off-white head, a hazy, fiercely bubbly, yellow-gold appearance, and a few spots of lacing left on the glass. I swished and poured in the bottom contents, but noticed no changes in appearance, thereafter. The aroma is of white bread, banana, bubble gum, cloves, and sugar, and the flavor is the same. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Schönramer Weissbier finishes semi-dry, easy drinking, and refreshing.

RJT

Poured from 500mL bottle into a weizen glass.

Appearance: dark yellow hue with plenty of haze and a very strong effervescence. Head poured a thick finger of creamy white foam which subsided rather quickly. Not bad overall, though.

Smell: light, refreshing wheat with a pretty rich estery character; banana and clove are subdued but the overall experience is quite rich. I like it.

Taste: richly malty wheat flavor with, again, more subdued banana type esters are present as well. Subtle but well-crafted.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a big but somewhat fizzy carbonation; the creaminess is decent but not wonderful.

Overall: this is a well-crafted and tasty beer, and may appeal to those who want something subtler than a Franziskaner or Weihenstephaner.
