COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This Beer is served on DRAFT and in 750ml BROOKLYN bottles.
In May 2007, Garrett Oliver traveled to the 400 yr-old Schneider brewery in Kelheim, Germany, to brew Schneider-Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse. This was dry-hopped with the local Hallertauer Saphir hop variety. In July, Drexler brought his yeast to Brooklyn and brewed Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse, choosing the American Amarillo and Palisade varieties for the dry-hopping. Now you can taste the result, the latest beer in our Brewmaster’s Reserve series. The beer has a full orange color and the aromatics pair the banana and clove notes from the Schneider yeast with the mango and citrus qualities of the hops. The bitterness is robust but balanced, and the beer has a clean, hoppy finish.
Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse pairs well with Caribbean seafood preparations, crab cakes, jerk chicken, Thai cuisine, Szechuan cooking and many Mexican dishes.”

Sampled at Issacs. Firts off, Very good. Dark orange / bronze pour with aroma’s of peach and apples and dough. Caramel malt flavors that melt in your mouth and transform into a biscuit, spice and hop after taste. A nice dry wheat finish. I love it.

750ml bottle from Scott in our inaugural beer trade, been in my cellar for quite some time. Pours a hazy orange, with a lively head which eventually dissapates. Appley malt aroma. Medium-heavy sweetness almost like a barley wine, but finishes with a hint of sour. Full bodied with a creamy mouth feel. A nice warming brew for a snowy day watching the SEC championship - go Dawgs!

5000 (3998) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - NOV 3, 2011
Bottle:   Straw in color, somewhat hazy, vibrant carbonation, large frothy off-white head, nice lacing.   Sweet nose, somewhat reminds me of powdered candy.   Wheat aspects are very light, as well as the Bock side of things.   Minor funkiness, or basement.   Dully wheatiness on the tongue, pale sweetness.   Fairly dry on the finish.   Has a wheaty body, but isn’t as heavy as I expected.   Lingering dull sweetness of the powdery sugar kind.   Really lacks the Bock aspect.   Then again, I may have waited to long to drink this one.   Entertaining, but not as good as I had anticipated.
