VERY NICE HYBRID OF TRADITIONAL GERMAN SPICE AND BANANA FLAVORS AND THE GREAT TASTE OF AMERICAN VOLUME OF HOPS. REMINDS ME OF THE PENNENT ALE. THIS BREW IS A CLEAR WINNER -THOUGH IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE MUCH IN THE GLASS. KIND OF MURKY AND YELLOWY GRAY. SO VERY HYBRID WITH THE CLASSIC GERMAN AND AMERICAN PROFILE OF -THEIR OWN STYLES OF BEER - DON’T ASK ME HOW IT WORKS I DON’T KNOW BUT GET YOU SOME AND EXPERIENCE IT. THAT IS IF YOU LIKE AMERICAN AND GERMAN BEER OR CAN APPRECIATE A WORK OF ART. THE WEAVING OF FLAVOR TEXTURE AND STYLE IS TRULY INSPIRING FOR ANYONE WHO APPRECIATES ANYTHING WELL DONE.

Oct 7, 2008 Man... I can’t believe that I’ve managed to forget rating this one after having it and rating it on the RBESG08 Grand tasting. I’ve rated the ones directly before when I was entering all those beers and after it in my notebook but not this one. And it’s one of the most eloqent ones too... I wonder if there are more of them hidden in there...
Poured an opaque ochre body with a medium sized head. Fruity nose with notes of ordinary honey and hop. Lovely fruitiness, sweet taste, noticable aroma hops. Light bitterness near the end. A very nice weizenbock.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Dark cloudy yellow with swirled sediment poured in. Foamy thin white cloud on top. Strong aroma of soft hops. Soaring hop flavour with a sour malt and alcohol. A little spice burn on the tongue. lasting light pepper note. Not overly aggressive but beautifully balanced with strong hops. Very smooth and drinkable.

Oct 5, 2008 I’ve been a fan of Schneider-Weisse for a long time now...American brewers haven’t been able (IMO) to emulate that balance of hop and spice...so I was excited to try a collaboration involving this brewer and an American one. And I was not disappointed, this beer offers the same balance of spice, hop, and fruit notes evident in other Schneider Weisse beers, but also offers some additional flavor notes. The clove and malt in this beer is balanced a bit by banana (isoamyl acetate?) other fruitiness...and with more caramel than I remember from other Schneider Weisse beers. Very good.
Appearance is amber or a dark gold. Aroma is malt, with cloves and some fruit and banana notes. Flavor is as I’ve described above. Mouthfeel is pretty thick, but not overly slick or sticky.
I would highly recommend this beer. I bought this at Discount Liquor in Milwaukee, based on a very good employee recommendation.

Oct 2, 2008 Aroma of yeast, malt and citrus, cloudy golden/brown pours a big off-white head. Taste is pear, lemon, malt and yeast. Medium bodied, tongue tingle, man this is a great beer, but it seems to be a belgian strong?
Thank You Torontoblue.
