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.”

Bottle. Cloudy deep golden colour with a fluffy white head. Aroma: spicy, yeasty & fenolic, maybe some hops. Flavor: Spices, yeast,wheat, fruit, band-aid, cloves, pepper, alcohol. Not much hops. Maybe the bottle was a bit too old. Would like to try it again fresh.

Golden orange, very large white head, excellent lacing. Aroma is of light spice, lots of lemon citrus, yeast, floral, lots of perfume. Flavour is floral, spice, insane amounts of perfume, lemon and orange citrus. Spicy mouthfeel, medium body, high carbonation. Finishes long, a bit warming, wheaty, yeasty with moderate amounts of citrus.

There was lots of perfume in this one, becomes much as times. The alcohol is a bit noticable but the perfume dominates.

750ml bottle obtained in a trade with TheJester, thanks Andy.
Opened on December 31, 2008.
No date.

Big bottle, shared with Parksy. Pours a cloudy golden with a lively white foamy head. Initial aroma is very hoppy, resinous and spicy with underlying soft fruits and dried straw. Flavour is very sweet straw-like malts with notes of dried flowers (chamomile) and stewed pineapple, banana, and citrus. Hops are quite sharp, and a little spicy. This reminded me a lot of Chouffe Houblon, only sweeter. Parksy didn’t care for this much (I think the malts and yeast didn’t do it for him), but I liked it, even though the sweetness of the malts and sugars was almost too much for the hops in my opinion..

75 cl bottle. Pours a hazy yellow color with a nice white foamy head. Wonderful, hoppy, somewhat tropical aroma with citrus, grapefruit, spices, and hint of banana. Flavour is fruity, hoppy and spicy with tropical fruits, citrus, some banana and clove. Nice bitterness in finish. Medium to full bodied. Nice, but lively, carbonation. Very good beer - and I like it more than the Schneider-version though this costs a lot more. Would like to try again.

75cl bottle. Thanks to Madsnp. Pours hazy yellow with a large white foam and lacings. Lovely nose of orange peel, wheat, yeast and lots of hops. Yum and very inviting. Lively carbonation. Smooth and dry. Crisp, refreshing and overall just very tasty.

Hazy orange with a lasting white head. Aroma is spicy and fruity with orange, lime and pineapple. Sweetish fruity flavour, with spices and pine notes, quite bitter

Bottle from Jason’s in Ellicott City, MD. Finally got to try the Brooklyn version, and it was awesome. Definitely preferred it to the Schneider & Brooklyner. Awesome hazy golden-appearance with a large white head that clings to the glass and excellent lacing. Aroma is wheat, yeast, banana, citrus, and some floral hops. Flavor is wheat, banana, clove, honey, spice, orange peel, and great floral and citrusy hops. Fairly dry finish with medium body and soft, smooth carbonation.
