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).

12 oz. bottle. Pale gold in color. Not much of a head. Nice bready, grassy nose. Sharp, quick hop bite on the tip of the tongue, then sweet malts on the way down. How do you go from Trout Slayer to Dancing Trout? What would Freud say about the artwork? Hmm...

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.

Bottle poured a hazy golden yellow with a small diminishing off white head. Aromas of wheat, lemon and a hint of yeast. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a slightly dry finish. Flavors of wheat, straw, light citrus and a hint of spice with a smooth lightly dry lightly bitter finish.
