Schneider Weisse: Meine Hopfen Weisse (Double Malt Bock)

Poured into a tall 500ml glass; this beer presents a slight cloudiness in an elegant yellow/orange. The tall glass will help retain it's already sturdy, yet fulffy head.
Intriguing scents of orange, grapefruit and cloves woft toward the nose in a way that will only drag you further into the great search for fine brews.
Upon entering your mouth this beer explodes with an even burst of fruit including banana and mango. It really tastes like a sweet and full flavoured wheat beer but apparently it is not. The nectar-like character remains, as does a mouth coating feeling that a good brie has. A very late and polite hop bitterness finishes this fine brew off. It's really hard to believe that this incredible and complex beer has only 4 ingredients.

Whether you have just climbed the Befreiungshalle in Kelheim (the hall of liberation in the German town from which the brewery is situated) or come back from a massive hike in the German Alps; you've just earnt this beer. What better way to experience this very special "bock" beer than sitting in the beer garden of an old pub, accompanied by a large German pretzel, soaking up the springtime air? Tell me, what better way?
