Schneider Weisse TAP7 Original
The brewery's flagship is still brewed to Georg I. Schneider's recipe of 1872: a deep amber, cloudy Hefeweizen of wheat and barley malt, hopped with Hallertauer Tradition and Herkules and brewed from 12.8 °Plato. Open fermentation and bottle conditioning shape its yeast character. Ripe banana and clove lead the nose, joined by caramel, nutmeg and allspice. The palate is soft and full, with pear-like fruit over a mildly sweet malt base and lively, well-integrated carbonation.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Schneider Weisse TAP7 Original
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
