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).

I’d be drinking it weekly if I could get my hands on it! It poured a dark yellow with a thin head but smelled of roasted corn. A wheaty hops taste w/o the bitter aftertaste as well a resonable %. Brewed in Montana, US in the heart of the rockies with fresh glacier waters. Great Micro brew!

This was one of the more common sixes in the fridge last summer when I was a fishing guide, and it will be again when I go back in a month. It’s a very good beer to drink while enjoying a good contemporary-style meal (Sawtooth Deli in Gardiner MT). Refreshing and no unpleasantness anywhere, though it’s not one I’d spend a long time puzzling over the various tastes, either.

Very good stuff. Maybe I’m a little biased because its made in my home town, but I drink it all the time for whatever occasion.

Very enjoyable beer. I like it best in a frosty mug while cooking steaks outdoors. I first sampled this beer in Cooke City Montana at the edge of Yellowstone Park and the beer brings back that wonderful memory. Very distinct flavor, but certainly not overpowering. Great with a good meal. Enjoy!

Smells like candy corn. Nice malty taste without being cloying. Very unique.
