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).

Good golden color,small wite head that faded quickly leaving little behind.Not a lot going on here for aroma or taste for that matter.Aroma of mild malt and the hops are faint with th taste coming off as weak malt and just a hint of hops in the end.Not bad for a summer brew i guess if you need a thirst quencher but for over all enjoyment it just doesn’t make the mark.

Pours a dark golden colour with a small thin off white malty head. Aroma is a bit malty, taste is relatively smooth, with a firm hop finish. Flavors of lemon, pear and green apples.

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one from his west coast connection. Pours a deep golden with no head. Aroma of wheat, slight breadyness, slight sweetness to the nose. The flavor is slight fruit, slightly sweet, thin, slight caramel malt flavor. Nothing great, but drinkable.

Pours a dark orange with no head. Fruity malt aroma, as stated previously, pineapple. More malt and some hops in the flavor. Some candy, though not too much. Kind of light in the body, but a good pale.

A clear amber body under a white foamy head. The aroma was not so much subtle as it was faint. Some wheat and fruit but nothing distinguishable. Weak and watery, the flavor was unappealing. Very much like macro-swill. Bummer.
