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).

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and clear golden color with almost no head. I’m searching for aromas here, very lightly fruity, bananas, and spices. Tastes of generic fruitiness, light wheat, and light spices. Thin and bordering on watery body. Not offensive, but not really anything there.

(Bottle, BB Nov 07) Pours a lightly hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of grass, flora, and lightly toasted grain. Flavor of honey, floral hops, and caramel with an oily mouthfeel.

Bottle courtesy of kyzr: Pours a transparent golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of mildly sweet pale malts and a touch of light fruits. Body starts with a mild sweetness and some wheaty notes and fruity esters. Finishes smooth and lightly sweet. A decent Kristallweizen.

@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.

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.
