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.”

Hazy golden amber body with a medium frothy white head. Light clove aroma with some floral and citrus hops and a bit more spice. Clove flavor, light banana, light spice, and citrus and floral hops. Medium body with moderately high carbonation and a sharp spicy bite in the end.

Bottle - RFD. Hazed bright gold, fluffy white head. Lemon meringue and honeyed banana nose rides layers of grassy citrus and notes of spiced pine. Smooth spicy clove and yeasty banana flavors balance on big citric piney hop tones. Just great integration between the styles. Full bodied, soft carbonation, drying, fruity hop finish. This brew is rockin it hard! Great work here...

750 ml bottle. Poured a cloudy yellow/orange with a huge fluffy head. Aroma of citrus fruits and hops. Flavor was wheat, grains, citrus, spice and bittering hops. Nice combination of yeast and hops with the wheat to create a very drinkable brew. Would be real nice on a warm, sunny afternoon.

750 ml bottle. I’ve been looking forward to this beer for a while. Pours cloudy orange with a fluffy white head. Great aroma of superfresh hops, imparting a spicy, earthy, citrusy aroma in addition to the more traditional bread and banana notes. Taste is similar, with really fresh hop character and a distincitive clove/spice quality. Excellent beer. Will definitely have again.

22 oz. bomber on 5/10/2008. Hazy deep gold body under a creamy, billowing white head that lasts and lasts, leaving thick, sticky lace - phenomenal looking. Wonderful aroma that has the characteristics of a German wheat with the banana and clove esters underneath and the citrus qualities of the Amarillo hops on top, a unique aroma that works well.

Medium body and carbonation, not overly effervescent as I expected after I saw the pour. Very smooth, almost creamy, yet clean and lightly dry. on the palate.

A solid, light malty base supports a balanced, soft grapefruit bitterness that extends into a long dry finish. This is just excellent in all respects.
