Formerly Tap 1 Mein Blondes.

Enjoying the moment in high spirits: "Meine helle Weisse" - a bright wheat beer with the original Schneider Weisse aroma, full-bodied and intensive. Its mild freshness is reviving and lifts the senses. The perfect companion for daydreaming on a summer's afternoon - Bavarian zest for life!

Hops: Hallertauer Tradition, Hallertauer Saphir.

A: Pours a surprisingly clear yellowish/copper color. A dense and rocky head forms, with retention for days. Plenty of lace left behind.
S: Grassy hops up front. Baked bread and sourdough. Peppery, spicy banana. Very nice.
T: There is a bit more sour grainy flavors here than expected. Again baked bread/sourdough (not that sour and sourdough always go together, but I get that here). Banana and peppery spice. Lingering grassy hops with a touch of bitterness.
M/O: A light body with prickly carbonation. Maybe a touch on the watery/thin side, even the low ABV, would think it would have a bit more heft. Though not a big deal overall, and still very easy to drink.

It was hard to read the canned on date, think it said Feb 2022, and seemed at least reasonable enough to pick it up. Maybe still a bit too old, but still enjoyable. Will definitely look to pick up some fresher if I can and compare. Even so, I'm having no issues putting this away.

Pours a hazy, very fizzy dark gold, with a foamy but full and peaked dark-cream coloured head. Coppery, yeasty banana funk on the nose, with cloves, mace and cinnamon. More mild on the tongue, some orange peel with a very clean hoppy development. Finishes sweet and sticky.

Copenhagen 12/11 2020. 50 cl bottle from Meny, Rotunden, Hellerup. As “Schneider Weisse Helle Weisse Weissbier Tap 01”. Schneider Weisse’s usual label design with diagonal yellow stripe.

Pours slightly unclear, golden yellow with a small white head. Extremely bubbly. Disappears completely after a minute. No lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet odor of wheat malts, perfumed lemonade with a light touch of citrus.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly more moderate sourness. Aftertaste is sweetish with a light sour touch. A bit watery. Lingers shortly. Finish is semi-dry.

Refreshing but a bit generic Weissbier.

Half liter bottle dated best by 14.09.24 picked up at a getrankemarkt in Stuttgart. I had high hopes for this but it’s a bit underwhelming and disappointing. Especially compared to the Andechs Weissbier Hell, which was world class. Aromas and flavors are there but a bit thin and flat. Bummer. Good but not great.

This is a beer that could be your friend all night long. Nice cloudy thick weisen. Good clove flavor, some banana, wheat, a little malt. Great beer.
