So I am sure everybody knows that Germany is home to sausage, sauerkraut, and most important Beer. In that being the case I decided to look up the number one beer in Germany using
Rate Beer and Schneider Aventinus came up on top for 2012. Schneider is brewed by
Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider and Sohn (or WGSS brewing company) a company that is based out of Kelheim, Germany. The WGSS brewing company was founded in 1872 by Georg Schneider I and his son of the same name. After they founded the company they then bought the Weisses Brauhaus in Munich, which is the oldest wheat beer brewery in the city. They had two breweries in Kelheim and Straubing prior to World War II. Due to bombing in the city, destroying all the breweries, they had to relocate all of their beer brewing to Kelheim, Germany. All of the products sold from WGSS brewing company are top-fermented wheat beers with Aventinus and Original being the only ones bottled conditioned. Aventinus is classified as a Weizen Bock with a 12%ABV.
The beer poured is a mahogany colored, semi-hazy beer, and has a crucial big head that hangs out for a very good while. You can smell dark, rich fruits, cloves, and the top-fermented yeast that WGSS Brewing uses. Aventinus is a very big powerful beer and the alcohol is most definitely present. You can taste the sweet fruit flavors like raisins, plums, cherrys, caramel and also spicyness with the lingering alcohol feeling in the back of your mouth. This beer is pretty carbonated and has a full, creamy body of goodness with the finish being alcohol, molasses and caramel. This beer is very complex, strong, and shows off the German Weizen Bock style down to every ingredient that goes into The Schneider Aventinus.
