COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brooklyner Weisse is a Bavarian-style wheat beer, unfiltered and chock full of spicy esters that evoke hints of cloves and fruit, some say even bananas. The beer is made with a traditional weizen yeast strain. The malt mix is half malted wheat and half barley malt. The hops are Perle, from Germany. Bitterness is low to medium.

Cloudy yellow pour with a white head. Aromas of yeasty esters, banana, clove, white pepper. Taste is similar, with a fruity peppery kick. Finishes quite dry with a fine carbonation. Pretty good.

Svesse (5197) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - MAY 11, 2013
(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 6 May 2013) Cloudy brownish yellow colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with bread, banana and clove. Classic hefeweizen aromas. Malty, fruity taste with notes of banana, bread, citrus, clove, esters, toffee and a fairly dry finish. Medium body. Well made hefeweizen. Quite nice.

hirigalzkar (1822) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 8, 2013
Draught @ Akkurat. Pours golden with a white head. Nice modern take on a hefe. The banana and clove notes are there, aswell as a touch of citrusy hops. Smooth. Maybe a bit too clean/kind.

gyllenbock (2967) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - APR 25, 2013
On tap at Akkurat, April 2013. A bit hazy deep golden with a large white head. Aroma and taste of banana, light spices, some citrus and wheat. On the thin side but quite refreshing. This one felt fairly authentic.

Toerstig (43) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - APR 22, 2013
Tap. Cloudy apricot with nice white head. Nice wheat beer aromas with bananas and coriander. No bitterness and a small sweetness. A bit thin on the body and the taste intensity. Ok American wheat.

sloshgator (172) - Orlando, Florida, USA - FEB 1, 2013
Light banana aroma. Pour is clearer than most hefeweizens. Taste is fruity with light clove notes and a light banana aftertaste. Slightly fizzy on the.palate. Brooklyner Weisse is a good hefeweizen although it slightly deviates from the.traditional style.

BeerCast_Rich (1687) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - DEC 28, 2012
[keg at the Brooklyn Brewery] Reasonably cloudy orangey yellow pour, with a large white head. Sweet banana aroma, with more than a fair bit of lemon on the nose as well – together with the expected wheat and bready notes. Similar flavours. Really drinkable stuff [26112012]

On tap Sunday 12/2 at Speedy Romeo in Brooklyn with Erica. Unfortunately I can’t get too detailed because it’s been over a week, but I do remember this being decidedly sweet, even for the style. Not a lot of the typical banana notes, but just enough fruit. Not very carbonated for the style, either.

mmmbeer (1154) - Austin, Texas, USA - OCT 14, 2012
12 oz. bottle served in shaker- poured a mildly turbid dulled orange-yellow color, medium carbonation, white head quickly fizzed away to sheer nothingness within moments. Aroma of clove, wheat, yeast, and corn husks. Hits the mouth with a light-medium body, the sweetness is restrained thankfully (!), malt feels just right with alot of wheat in it, some clove in the middle, finish has only a slight hint of banana esters. Liquid sunshine in a glass.

The beer pours a golden color with a white head. The aroma is full of wheat, with some grain husk and light banana notes. The flavor is very similar. The wheat notes come through the most, with some banana and clove notes thrown in. I also get some light lemon and orange citrus character. Medium, creamy mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
