Schneider & Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse

Bottled. Hazy golden. Small, white head. Loads of citrus; apricot and pineapples, in the aroma. Very fruity and malty flavour. Some pepper ans slightly vinous.

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.

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.

Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is powerfully wheaty combined with sweet malty notes as well as medium notes of mango and lighter notes of banana. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of wheat and fruit - mango and oranges, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

Bottle. Pours a super cloudy dull light brown with a huge, foamy white head. Aroma of freshly picked apples, Belgian yeast and light flowery hops. Flavor of citrus (lemon and orange zest) and lots of ripe fruits. Slightly spicy finish. The aroma is better than the flavor, but this beer is still quite tasty.
