montev87 (7), , Florida, USA does not count Oct 19, 2008 Large amount of sediment makes appearance pleasantly cloudy. Strong notes of pineapple and hops on the front end. Long, peppery finish. Refreshing flavor. movezig (137), Pensacola, Florida, USA Oct 16, 2008 Amazing. Nose of light fruits. Strong fruity flavors and hops. Fun beer to drink a lot going on very refreshing spring or summer brew. Also a lot cheaper than the brooklyn version being that more of this one was brewed. Rockinout (945), Kent, Ohio, USA Oct 15, 2008 Very cloudy golden orange color, thick white head. Nose of grassy citrus pine, outdoors on a clean fall day, some floral notes. Full on the palate with a slight banana taste. Some hops at the finish. jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Oct 13, 2008 Bottle pours a cloudy honey lemon color with a thick foamy white head. Powerful aroma of yeast, fruit, wheat, and some cedar. Flavor starts slightly sweet but finishes on a more sour note. Nice mixture of flavors along thet way though. The 8.2% is well hidden. Doggythedog (1541), Split, Croatia 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. presario (2953), Calgary, Alberta, Canada 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. larsniclas (3383), Gothenburg, Sweden Oct 5, 2008 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. BeerBelcher (930), Columbus, Ohio, USA 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.
