Schneider Edel Weisie

Can i start by saying how satisfying it is that we get so many good beers in this country these days! You don't have to drink Pure Blonde... in fact, if you do, you should be ashamed of your self. I mean that, i am so sick of shit beer.

Edel Weiss used to be the only organic beer getting around, which made it special to a loyal following of hippie types. Now there are a few, but this one is still the bench mark for me.

There is nothing attractive about the pour. Dirty is a word which sums it up. Its cloudy and ugly. The smell is, however beautiful....... clove is the big sniff. Cloves and roses and all things pretty. The taste is thick, i can never have more than one of these. It is nice to find a beer which you don't have to drink many of. The finish is flabby and sweet but somehow holds itself together.
Great beer... organic.... big bottle... 7.4%.... all the things i love.
