Schneider Weisse TAP6 Aventinus
First brewed in 1907 under Mathilde Schneider, Aventinus is the brewery's wheat doppelbock: a dark ruby, bottle-conditioned wheat bock of equal parts wheat and barley malt, brewed from 18.5 °Plato, open-fermented and hopped with Hallertauer Herkules. Ripe banana, raisin and plum lead the nose, joined by clove, a touch of liquorice and roasted malt. The palate is full and warming, with caramel and dark bread under a soft sweetness, restrained bitterness and a smooth finish.
