Schneider Weisse Tap 7, 5.4%, Kelheim, Germany

Brewskie

In 5: Dark, Enjoyable, Flavoursome, Medicinal, Citrus

Interesting fact: If you don’t speak German and you want to order a beer in Germany you need to be careful how many fingers you hold up. Unlike in the UK and other inefficient countries, in Germany, if you only want 1 beer you show them your thumb and then your first finger becomes your second beer and so on…

Every day is a school day on Brewskie! Although I wouldn’t worry about getting it wrong too much as there’s only 1 thing better than a beer, 2 beers!

So, the beer, well it’s not labelled as a dunkel (dark beer) but it is pretty dark in colour. Don’t let that fool you though, there is quite a citrus whiff to it and the taste is light. As it’s rather flat it seemed to fly down without really touching the sides. There was a moment early on where we were getting a little bit of a TCP smell and the taste does have some strange notes to it that we couldn’t quite put our fingers on. Overall, this Wesley (Schneider) definitely doesn’t deserve the Ballon d’or, instead it is an average player in one of the world’s most competitive arenas.

If only someone were to offer us a gallon d’beer right now…

In 5: Bananary, Savoury, Fruity, Enjoyable, Sickly

“This is 29, Acacia Road. And this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an exciting double life. For when Eric drinks a banana bread beer, an amazing transformation occurs. Eric is Bananabreadbeerman. Ever un-alert for the call to action.” Now wouldn’t that have made an interesting cartoon? A drunk adolescent stumbling around town in silly clothes, oh hang on a minute; that already happens in real life and it’s not great to watch.

We have no idea how they managed it, but somehow, Well’s have taken a loaf of banana bread, liquidised it, sprinkled in some magic dust and turned it into a delicious beer. If you don’t like bananas don’t bother, if you don’t like bread, are you mental? What do you eat for lunch?! You wouldn’t want a massive session on these but as a special treat it’s well worth picking one up next time you’re in the supermarket for one of your 5 beers a day.
