Great colour and head. A real mix of flavours. This really fizzed in the mouth. A little overwhelmed by the dry tannins but you can still taste the sweetness. I also thought this was a little sour. Overall a nice drink to sit back savour and take your time with.

A
very dark black liquid, which has the appearance of cola. However the taste is
far more complex a rich aroma followed by a toffee and liquorish taste and a
warming alcohol glow.

Plenty of fizz. Pours a golden cloudy colour. Wow this is sour but pleasant dry and bitter. Somehow it also tasted sweet, actually makes your mouth curl. Very different.

Poured very deep red and dark. This is an unusual beer which i liked at lot. . It starts off with a rich taste of spice and fruit with a nagging doubt that's its really whiskey then you get a strong dry hoppy finish. Its great.

Not sure about this one but I'm claiming it all the same. There are a number of Schneider Weisse beers but this says Unser Original. (our original) I'm fairly sure this is correct. However when the bottle was opened and poured the beer was cloudy not clear or gold amber, it was more like the colour of muddy river water. Still drank it all and it had a slight wheat taste. Cant have been all that bad. Will watch out for another bottle.
