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.”

750ml caged&corked bottle. Pours a deep, cloudy, glowing orange gold with a very thick, though short-lived, white head that never dissipates completely and leaves a few strings and spots of lace on the glass. The aroma is a big whiff of fresh hop leaves - citrus and freshly-mown grass. After your nose gets through the hops, there are spicy phenolic aromas (allspice), subtle fruit (plums, peaches), and a subtle sweet malt aroma. The flavor starts in a very complex fashion: alcohol, grassy hops, chewy malted wheat, and spices. Fruitiness and funkiness grow as the beer ventures towards mid-tongue. Hop bitterness also grows. The finish is somewhat dry, bitter from both hops and ethanol, and very complex with fruity esters and spicy phenols. The mouthfeel is luxurious - creamy, sudsy and soft, full-bodied, and densely carbonated. Overall, an absolutely awesome beer. I don’t think weizenbock, however, is a remotely suitable appellation. More like an American Strong Ale (tastes more like a Belgian Strong Ale thanks to the funk from the Schneider yeast). Regardless of style, this beer is awesome - a total home run (and it comes only one day after the last home run I tasted: Allagash Hugh Mallone...)

From the 750 ml bottle with no lot code or bottling/expiration date. Corked top that pops off and travels about 12 feet across my living room. The pour is a slightly clouded orange-amber with a two inch thick puffy white head. A pungent orange peel and clove aroma penetrates the senses. The mouthfeel is bold. From the start this brew comes on strong with a powerful mix of alcohol, citrus, and a dry-hopped ending. A powerful one for sure.

Bottle. Medium sized white fizzy head with good retention, cloudy straw body, and a ring of lacing. The aroma is sweet, clove, banana, spicy, citrus hops. The flavor is sweet, clove, spicy, banana, mango, citrus hops, and mildly bitter. The mouthfeel is tingly and this is a medium bodied beer. Overall, a very balanced aroma/flavor, worthy of a try, and a beer I would drink again. More please!

Part of a back log. Bottle. Translucent yellow with a white head. Very interesting mix of flavors. There is a certain banana and vanilla that is apparent before some of the bitterness takes over. Certainly a strong flavor, but it is fairly available and highly recommended.

Bottle 7 C, 20091028 It was high pressure in that bottle, ater the cork had disappered I put the thing on the table - after 5 sec it started to spurt. No wonder the fermentation (0,5 cm 1/2 a year storage) was mixed in! AR.: yeast, strawberry, apricot AP: weize cloudy, mostly lasting rocky head F: yeast, strawberry, apricot, german äppelmos, medium strong bitterness - long lasting finishing. I can recommend this Weisse, but be careful while opening!

Bottle (75 cl) from Systembolaget. Hazy golden with white head. Tropical fruit hop character, some weak phenolic notes as well. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Nicely balanced, dryer than the Schneider-Brooklyn version, and a bit more bitterness as well.

Sampled at GABF. Here’s a beer I’d been looking to try for a while. Golden color with pillowy white head. Aroma of bright hops and some spices. Flavor is hoppy and light, with lots of banana and bubblegum coming through. Though this was really good, and glad I finally got to try it.

This was an amazing brew. It was a little too old but it still blew me away. It is available again so I will re rate as soon as I find a fresher bottle.
