Schneider Weisse

The history of wheat beer is also the history of the Schneider brewing family and its famous Schneider Weisse.

A brewery of great history and tradition, Schneider can
be credited with resurrecting a style of beer that came
close to extinction in the late 1800s and has built a
reputation of being the most distinguished and exclusive
purveyor of wheat beers in Germany.

Schneider Original

A rich and full bodied wheat beer, with an amber-mahogany colouring and streaked with fine top-fermenting yeast, this beer has a fine, persistent head that adheres well to the glass. A uniquely satisfying experience and, compared with many German weisse beers, it is very full flavoured and spicy.

Schneider Aventinus

A wheat doppelbock with a dark-ruby colour, Aventinus has a compact and persistent head. Very intense with a complex spicy chocolate-like aroma, on the palate you experience a complex soft touch, fresh with a hint of caramel. It finishes in a rich soft and lightly bitter impression.

Schneider Blonde Weisse (Weizenhell)

Schneider Blonde Weisse (renamed from Weizenhell) has a light honey-colouring and a clove-like aroma. On the tongue it is clean and smoothly balanced, and finishes sparkling with a light and fine bitterness.

Schneider Grünes

Schneider Grünes (renamed from Edel-weisse) is a shiny-brass coloured organic wheat beer, certified Naturland organic in Germany. It has an aroma of hops and citrus with a spicy note that perfectly balances the malty character with the easiness of the hops. Refreshing and full-bodied it's a real favourite at James Clay.

Schneider Hopfenweisse (seasonal)

A new wheat beer style described by the brewery as 'hoppy fireworks'. Golden but slightly reddish in colour it's a strong wheat doppelbock. The intense floral aroma reminds you of tropical fruits and relieves the powerful bitterness. An extreme wheat beer that shows how far wheat beer taste can go.
