Malty dark wheat beer from Bavaria.
First and foremost, the appearance of Meine Aventinus is striking. It pours a deep mahogany colour with a rich, creamy tan head that lingers for a while. The beer is slightly hazy, which is expected for a wheat beer, and it adds to the overall allure. Holding the glass up to the light reveals beautiful amber and ruby hues, enticing you to take your first sip.
The aroma is incredibly inviting and complex. Notes of banana and raisins come forward, followed by hints of cloves and a subtle spiciness. There is also a delicate sweetness that adds depth to the scent. The aroma alone is enough to get your taste buds excited for what’s to come.
Upon taking the first sip, I was immediately impressed by the beer’s velvety smooth texture. It coats the palate nicely, delivering a medium-bodied mouthfeel that is both satisfying and easy to drink. The carbonation level is moderate, providing a gentle effervescence that adds to the overall experience.
Flavour-wise, Meine Aventinus truly shines. The combination of wheat malts and the Bavarian yeast strain used in its fermentation creates a symphony of flavours. The prominent taste of ripe bananas and dark fruits, like plums and figs, is complemented by a subtle spiciness from the cloves and a touch of nuttiness. The malt profile brings a pleasant sweetness to the beer, reminiscent of caramel and molasses. The balance between the fruity, sweet, and spicy elements is impeccable, making each sip a delight.
The finish is long and satisfying, with a slight dryness that leaves you craving the next sip. Despite its 8.2% ABV, the alcohol is well-integrated and doesn’t overpower the other flavors. It’s a beer that you can savour slowly or enjoy alongside hearty dishes, such as roasted meats, sausages, or strong cheeses.
