Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse

750ml corked brown bottle. Lightly hazy, golden beer with a towering off white head, lots of carbonation bubbles rushing through my weizen glass. When the head settles a bit good clinging lace is left behind. Nose has a good amount of honeyish malt sweetness, floral qualities are broken up by spicy hops with a bit of black pepper. In the mouth the beer has a fairly sweet makeup - honey, clove, orange and banana are immediately noticable. Finishes with some yeast and medium citrus bitterness/aftertaste. Medium body to full body, theres some wieght to it, but its nto sticky or syrupy. Alcohol is present, gently reminding you that you’re having a weizenbock. The carbonation is not as strong as the visuals suggested. It is even and smooth/soft. Overall, very well put together, nice hop character, bold flavourful, yet still retains a good balance and has great drinkablity for it’s strength.

750 ml bottle from Systembolaget. Pours apple juice looking with some orange shades. Big wihte head. Tastes and smells of tart apple (jam), spices and hops.

Bottle. Hazy golden colour, big white head. Smells sour apple, citrus hops and peppery spices. The taste is yeasty and wheaty at first (with a small sourness), american hops adds some bitterness and vanilla rounds it off. Not super complex, although super good!

Pours glden orange with a frizzy head. There is definately hallertau and/or amarillo hops involved here. There’s a bit of mango in the aroma. Flavor is good and citrusy with a flavorful balanced malt and a tamed full hops character. Body is full but light enough to still be enjoyed in the summer. I usually don’t like weizenbocks, but this one is an exception. Its dry on the palate and has a little bit of after fizz like a good weiss should. Goes well with caprese salad under big oak trees in the middle of austin texas yall.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy golden with a large creamy white head that lasts awhile leaving behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a banana yeast with citrus and honey. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet malt taste with yeast, banana and a nice crisp finish. Hides the alcohol making it easy to drink, very refreshing, a very impressive Weizen-Bock from Brooklyn.

Actually get a Belgian yeast aroma, assertive but gentle. Hazed gold, strong lacing. Light bodied and subtle, nice and smooth.

It poured a hazy pale golden liquid with a big foam that left allot of lacing along the side of the glas. It had a very pleasent smell of both foam banana and hops. Also some yeast, passion fruit and other sweet fruits. Very nice! The first thing I noticed after trying it was the high carbonation that clouded all the flavor in the beer. After whirling it around a bit and with less carbonation it was allot better. It had a flavor of foam banana, hops, yeast with a medium bitterness. The alcohol was hidden by the high carbonation but was soon noticable. Some chemical bitterness but not so bad, it was worse in the other version and one of the things that lowered the score a bit. This one also felt more balanced then the Garett Oliver version. Very nice beer overall, I hope they do a similar experiment soon again.

Bottle. Hazy dark yellow with a decent lasting head. Aroma is almost Saison like, kind of funky with lots of mellon. Big peppery flavour, mellon and alcohol. If you look for it you can pick up some banana notes in the taste and scent.
