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).

@Mountain Beerfest-on tap-pours a retaining foamy white head and yellow color. Aroma is faint light/medium malt-caramel. Taste is light/medium malt-caramel, secondary light floral/spice hops. OK carbonation.

Bottle. A litle taste of herbs makes this till an average Weizen bier. Tasted it on the way too Yellowstone Park. Started in San Jose

Sort of a wheat and yeast aroma. Brassy color witha slight white head. Ok, this one has some definite banana. Nearly medium bodied. Wheat. Mild carbonation. Finishes rather dryish, with some hints of yeast. Maybe some hints of bitter. This is a good drinker, but perhaps a bit more flavorful than is common with the style. Feels good in the mouth.

Draft at Finn & Porter, Missoula. Dark gold with a light head. Mildly yeasty, maybe? Hint of mild spice, but this is quite light. I asked the bartender if this was a wheat beer, he said, "No, it’s an ale." Duh. Nice sharp and clear like I’m sure it was meant to be. (#2937, 5/20/2007)

From the bottle this pours a clear golden/yellow body with an initially tall, frothy head. The aroma is wheaty like an American wheat beer, although more soft fruits and a squirt of lemon also come though. It tastes wheaty with a sour lemon finish. Actually not bad, but I’ll never understand why someone would filter a hefeweizen.

12 oz bottle Clear golden beer, with a good sized, bubbly/frothy white head. malty,lagerish aroma, toffeeish tones to the malt. Malty flavour mainlly finished quite sour, not sure if this is how it is meant to be, some faint wheatyiness. Not too bad on the palate. NOt a great drinker for me, the sour aspect just didnt seem right.

From a bottle this poured a liight god with little head and therefore no lacing. In short, appearance was lacking. Nose was was corn and hops. Mouthfeel was light and a bit watery. Flavor was citrus and hoips. A very poor example of what is in German a good beer. Not recommended.

Bottle split with Muenster. Pours a pissy, almost flat golden color with no head. The nose is weak with notes of corn and papery hops. There’s a little something in the flavor that’s pretty good, but it’s so faint that I can’t thoroughly isolate it. It’s a slight lemony flavor, perhaps. There are no true hop cajones on this one. This is one of the extra light pale ales with no real distinctive qualities. Trout Slayer has probably been designed for consumption at times when much thought needn’t be given to the brew. (After putting my rating up, I’m very surprised to see this is a German Kristallweizen. Filtered indeed. . . )
