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.”

High quality big wheat beer. Beautiful hazy caramel gold color and strong wheat and booze nose. Nice. Taste is slightly astringent, may need some time to mellow in the bottle? Not your normal "summer" wheat. This one would warm up most Munich winter nights.

500ml Bottle (8.2%) (Bitter Virtue,Southampton) - Hazy golden with a foamy white head. Fruity and slightly spicy aroma with some peach and dried fruit notes.Fresh hoppy and fruity taste with some peach and very faint ginger hints.More like a Belgian beer than a German one and a good collaboration.

750ml bottle from Porterhouse; Thanks a bunch Kevin; wish I asked you for two! Nose of flowery hops, yeasty wheat, cinnamon, and cloves; Hazy copper orange with a big, glass-lacing, pale yellow head; Flavor was light hop bitterness, spices, cloves, bananas, caramel, and yeastiness. Finish was lightly bitter hops and spices!! New #1!!!

Poured from a 750ml caged and corked bottle and served in a weizen glass. This beer poured a cloudy orange hue with a fluffy head of off-white foam that would not go away. Nice lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of oranges, pine cones, cloves, and wheat. Excellent spicy, citrusy, piney hop aroma! The flavor included orange peel, tangerines, bananas, cloves, fresh pine, and some lightly warming alcohol. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with soft carbonation. Dry-hopping with the Amarillo’s really took the aroma to another level when compared to the German version. Great beer!
