About This Beer

You can forget about slicing up some citrus, because you’ll want to enjoy this crushable 5% ABV sipper in all its pure, unfiltered, unadulterated glory! Even the beer-lovin’ folks at Paste Magazine can’t help themselves with this one, calling Schnickelfritz “more or less perfection.”

Tasting Notes

Crack open the can, and aromas of clove, nutmeg, and ripe banana invigorate the senses. The first sip flows with notes of vanilla, malt and a kiss of citrus. A hint of Noble Hops balances the full, fruity flavors, and the finish is smattered with coriander and cracked black pepper.

Not quite as clean as I like in a Hefeweizen…almost a spicy finish?

the was a okay hefiweizen but wasn't my favorite. I could taste bananas in it, and then it just went plain.

Bought based on the description alone, and it’s the first time I’ve ever bought a full allotment from Tavour. This did not disappoint! Absolutely among the best of the style, up there with the beers I’ve had in Germany.

For me, Weinhenstephaner is the standard for hefeweizen. This one is a bit flat.

about as good as a hefe can get. lovely flavors and not heavy on the banana/esters.

Citrus zest up front, with a bready wheat finish. If you told me this was brewed with lemons or oranges I would totally believe you. A little on the sweet side.

Very clove-y, banana-y phenolic phun, if you're into wheat beers 🌾

Really like the “phenolic” notes that come through. Clove and bananas come through. I could see myself getting these again.

The banana phenols were overpowering for me. Not bad but needs some balance.

Tons of banana in the nose with just a hint of funky yeast. Smooth, and clean with hints of baking spice and a little more banana towards the end.

I like the cloves but a little on the sweet side. Light on the carbonation, more would be better.

Solid Hefeweizen, notes of banana and clove come through clearly as advertised.

smooth drinking, very banana and clove forward but more malty than most hefs.

simon__ferocious

Characteristically strong scent of banana and clove. Unfiltered and opaque, with a golden hue. Thick foamy head, strong retention. Quite mild flavors of fruit and spice, surprisingly weak and watery. Light to medium body, with a sparkling, effervescent mouthfeel. Fresh, crisp finish.

Very refreshing. Especially enjoyed the slight ripe banana aroma in the background! Smooth and tasty. Would order again if available.

Truly unique for an American weissbier...lightly sweet as expected, but also malty and crisp, like a Ritz cracker dusted with sugar. Expertly crafted and delicate in flavor.

wonderful hefe. I think this did a great job hitting what a European hefe tastes like. would definitely get this again. Great for drinking on a hit day or on the porch in the rain.
