Commercial Description:
Name changed to Dancing Trout as of 2007. Trout Slayer is called "Crystal Weizen" in Bavaria and is the filtered version of our Bayern Hefeweizen and has a more pronounced wheat flavor and a golden color. Bayern's Trout Slayer is hopped moderately with Hallertauer Perle (Germany), the alcohol content is 5.6% alc./volume. We use malted wheat, two-row Harrington Pale and caramel malt (14° Plato o.g.). Technically speaking, you could call this beer an ale because it is top-fermented. However, this beer has been cold fermented and the maturation time is as long as lager beer (a full 28 days instead of 8-10 days like an ale).

Bottle Poures a cloudy very pale yellow/amber. Very small white head that imediately dissapears, and leaves only a few spots of lacing. Aroma is of pale malts, some hops and a sweet apple or peach note. Falvor is consistant, not so noticable hops, and a slightly tart fuit flaver. Feel is smooth and carbonation in this one was almost non existant. Aftertaste is a soft malty flavor with traces of honey.

OBF 2004. Medium orange color. Smells like butter, diacetyl, with a buttery flavor and texture. Frothy regular pale ale flavors, some chared malts, overly sweet fruit and crackers... nothing great.

On tap at the Oregon Brewers Festival 04. I have never heard of this brewery before and was very impressed with this brew. Orange color wtih a small off-white head. Fruity hopped aroma, almost bubblegum like thing going on with a malty backing. Taste starts sweet, with a hint of caramel and wheat, and ends with a nice balanced bitterness. Medium bodied smooth brew.

This is not a very good beer. Color of apple juice with almost no head. The aroma was almost nonexistant except for notes of skunk and chemicals. Flavor was mildly tolerable, but still not enough to save this beer. Mild fruit and hop notes....bleh!

Bottle. I poured it and sipped without reading the label or looking at the rating, so I had no idea what this would be. It’s strange...I get jalepenos in this. It’s quite odd and I don’t like it much. Some wheaty malts, breadiness, some sparkling type hops. Not very appealing.
