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.

Nov 28, 2008 This smells pretty good. A little bit of hops. The flavor has a good bite. It doesn’t seem too wheaty. A good beer that doesn’t seem strong. Nice.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle@Home, thanks DerDoppelbock. Lemon, banana and wheat aroma. Murky, yellow/orange color, beige head, good lace. Sweet, very bitter, tangerine, banana, grassy. Warming. Very flavourful, very different.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drugs. Pours a cloudy deep golden color with a fizzy white head. A ton of yeast sediment in the beer as well. Nose was very fruity with pineapple, citrus and some farmhouse funk. Flavor was very fruity and yeasty with the finish being light/ medium in body.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle: Dirty blonde color with many particles. Large white/yellow head and decent lacing. Nose is wheaty, floral, and a little earthy. Tastes right on par with the aroma and adds a little bit of spiciness. Some lingering bitters and perhaps just a bit soapy even. Nice hoppy presence overall. Thanks Jordan.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle: Cloudy muddy orange/brown, thick white head and a firm sheet of lacing. The nose is fresh and herbal with tons of yummy ammoniaish minty hallertau. The flavor is sweet and intense with a distinct dusty hop note. Good. Interesting experiment with the high gravity and dry hopping on the hefe. I like!
