Commercial Description:
Name changed to Dancing Trout as of 2007. Trout Slayer is called "Crystal Weizen" in Bavaria and is the filtered version of our Bayern Hefeweizen and has a more pronounced wheat flavor and a golden color. Bayern's Trout Slayer is hopped moderately with Hallertauer Perle (Germany), the alcohol content is 5.6% alc./volume. We use malted wheat, two-row Harrington Pale and caramel malt (14° Plato o.g.). Technically speaking, you could call this beer an ale because it is top-fermented. However, this beer has been cold fermented and the maturation time is as long as lager beer (a full 28 days instead of 8-10 days like an ale).

12 oz bottle. Aroma is of cardboard; smells like a macro. Color is deep golden, little head, slight lacing. Tastes like a tame hefeweizen. Banana esters, wheat are dominant flavors.

Bottle with thanks to coyotehunter. Body is a slightly dingy gold with little head and has odd aromas. A bit of a fruit mash-up with strange additions such as figs, dusty grains, banana bread and honey. Flavor stays with the fruit theme and seems focused around bananas and figs. This is pretty sweet and malty, but still comes across as fairly light on the palate.

Bottle thanks to Scrizzz. The label kicks ass so it has to count for something. Pours a clear honey color with a decent fluffly white head. Lightly fruity on the nose, a bit more fruity in the taste with a touch of malt, and some grain thrown in.. Not exceptional, but a nice beer for drinking while fishin.

Bottle... Poured a golden/orange body with a white head. Yeast fruits like figs and apricots on the nose with a wheat malt presence. Flavors similar to the aroma with noticeable fruits like figs, apricots, dates and citrus notes. Yeast esters, floral hops for balance and a wheat-like, grainy finish.

I couldn’t figure out what this beer wanted to be...a wheat...a dunkel...or even an ale. Now I know why, I never rated a German Kristallweizen before. It’s a first! And I the second Montana beer for me.

Weak baby food aroma. Milky golden, witbierish color, no head. Sweet wheat flavor. Weak emony finish. Really worse than the Trout Slayer, and bears no resemblance to a Kristal. Drinkable yes. but not something I would ever request.

Clean lager/pils like beer. Clear palish yellow body with little head. An aroma of wheaty grasses and malts. Slightly bready. Clean finish. Not overly fantastic or anything, but nice.
