Schneider currently oversees the company.
Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa, Mesa, sells 23 fluid ounce single bottles. The dark brown glass bottle displays a mint green label with shiny gold outlines. A cream and green colored bottle cap seals an ale with 6.2% alcohol by volume.

The organic beer pours mildly smooth creating a three quarters inch thick head. Surprisingly, the head retreats within a few minutes leaving a solid lancet.

The rich golden textured ale releases an exceedingly bitter aroma. A visual inspection of the recently poured brew excites the brain and taste buds.
Most ales appear soft and transparent.

However, the ale's murky appearance distinguishes itself from the majority of ales on the market today.

The beer enters sweet and soothing like the beginning of any popular fairy tale. A brief moment passes before a prickly wave washes over all areas of the mouth. The organic brew tastes extremely yummy as peculiar flavors of wheat, malt, barley, and hops swash around.

The lips and tongue smack in sheer joy.

With the stress of crashing classes, seeing ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends, purchasing overpriced text books, Cougars should knock off the tension of a new semester with their own glass of Wiesen Edel-Weisse.
Welcome back fellow Cougars! Cheers to new beginnings!
