Schneider Weisse kicks Erdinger's ass. So does Edelweiss from Austria.
So do several other Bavarian wheat beers.

So what makes Erdinger your yelling-in-all-caps FAVORITE?

Why do Schneider and Edelweiss kick Erdinger's ass, Don? You're guilty of
the same sin you're accusing the noob of.

My favorite is Victory's luscious, exotic Moonglow Weizenbock.

I thought Edelweiss was a Schneider product? Anyway - it's probably my
favorite of the lighter hefes - spritzy, perfumy, sometimes nearly
downright hoppy!

My favorite Hefe (which I cannot get in CA) has always been Kuchlbauer.
It was very easy to find in the Philadelphia area when I lived there. I
think that the importer was in Jenkintown and may have been flying it in
because it was really fresh. I remember it as just having "more" of
everything that makes a Hefe good -- more carbontaion, chewier mouthfeel,
huge aromatics -- totally dominated by the fruity esters. It was a
magnificent (effing good!) beer.

This thread has me Jonesing for a Kuchlbauer.

That sounds awesome. A hefe is one of the few styles that I seem to be
able to nail when homebrewing.

I always start to crave hefes around springtime when I cannot look
another barley wine in the eye and just when I am starting to think
that I may be getting burned out on beer. Then I drink huge amounts of
hefe and in a few months I won't be able to face another perfumy estery
drop and turn to clean lagers ...

I caught a Garrett Oliver beer tasting last year. He said Edelweiss is
hopped with Cascades.

Cheers,

Now boys...there's Edel-Weisse, and then there's Edelweiss. Two different
beers. Don was, I believe, talking about the Austrian-brewed Edelweiss
Hefe-Trüb, an excellent hefe brewed by Hofbrau Kaltenhausen. Schneider brews
Edel-Weisse, which is indeed a weissbier hopped with Cascades.
Nit-picking good, confusion bad.

Sorry Lew! Would it help to say IMHO?

Hell with it, I think Edelweiss kicks all their asses. Aventinus is out of
the league.

Comparing a Weizenbock to a regular-strength wheat beer?

Hey, no fair! Compare Aventinus - also brewed by the same folks
who make Schneider Weisse - to Erdinger's Pikantus.

(And heck, I LIKE Erdinger too, and Tucher, etc...)

Well, sure, but ... why? Or, why not?

the same sin you're accusing the noob of.

Eez my point, ya big lug. Okay, it's a wheat beer. It's got (ooh!
aah! whee!) a web site. So, what makes it a favorite? Proof by
blatant assertion?

Schneider is a benchmark of the Bavarian wheat beer style, with a
substantial history as a commercial brewer of wheat beers, and a
superb range, including a couple that are pretty much export-only;
you won't find them in Bavaria, but they're exported to the USA.
Those would be the Edel-Weisse and the Aventinus Weizen Eisbock
(or is it Eis Weizenbock?). Schneider's wheat beers don't lack for
flavor or body.

Edelweiss - yes, the Austrian beer brewed by national brewing
conglomerate that's now just another chunk of Heineken - makes
a solid, well-executed range of wheat beers, and the flagship
pale Edelweiss has always been a personal favorite.

I could name others, but you get the idea.

Why ask why? There are some things that are really extremely subjective
and if we're not judging final rounds at GABF or WBC I think we all have
the right to just say "I like X more than Y." or "I think Z sucks
bigtime."

I'll agree that the absence of any supporting information makes these
statements a bit thin but I have no problem seeking out and trying (or
avoiding) a previously unknown product based on a one liner provided the
source of the one liner is someone who has proven to be knowledgeable and
whose taste is somewhat akin to mine.
