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).

Pretty much an average Weizen. Lots of bubbles and very little head. Surprisingly it tasted a little flat. Someone mentioned a great beer with pretzels. Maybe I will try those with it next time...if there is a next time.

pours a clear golden yellow with a small white head, light carbonation, some lacing.
smell is faint, wheat, some citrus, touch of spice.
taste is smooth yet watery, a little tart up front, some grain, some yeast, wheat, a little citrus, ends tangy on the tongue and slightly dry.

Light golden in color. Soft on the tongue yet it had a crispness to it. I found it pretty easy to drink and was quenching. Light grains and wheatgerm. Also had a honey-like sweetness with lingering caramel notes. Light yet balanced bitterness level. Flowery aromas in the background. Nothing too exciting, but it was pleasant.

Pretty inconsistent from bottle to bottle. I have gotten really good bottles of this and I have gotten a few that were complete diacetly bombs. Either way it is not that impressive of a beer. Some very light spice notes, mixed with a faint cereal malt body. Definitely tastes better since they have changed the name.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark gold with a thin and lacy white head. Citrus and floral nose, light body, medium carbonation. Lightly sweet toffee taste with a dry finish.

Bottle. Nice example of a hefe this side of the pond. Nice head, very drinkable, only missing the sense of bubble gum. Perfect after a day "Trout Slaying".

12 oz. bottle on 6/25/08, brought to me by a friend from a recent trip to Montana. <P>Aroma - Starts with a little spiciness, fruity aromas follow, some graininess, and finally a little bubblegum.

Appearance - Clear yellow, medium white head that settles quickly.

Flavor - Fairly sweet up front, honey type flavors, then a slowly building soft bitterness sets in.

Palate - Light body, medium carbonation, faint stickiness, but a soft dry finish ultimately prevails.

Overall - Easy drinking, smooth, slightly sweet, could be a little cleaner and more tart for my tastes.
