Commercial Description:
This Beer is served on DRAFT and in 750ml BROOKLYN bottles.
In May 2007, Garrett Oliver traveled to the 400 yr-old Schneider brewery in Kelheim, Germany, to brew Schneider-Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse. This was dry-hopped with the local Hallertauer Saphir hop variety. In July, Drexler brought his yeast to Brooklyn and brewed Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse, choosing the American Amarillo and Palisade varieties for the dry-hopping. Now you can taste the result, the latest beer in our Brewmaster’s Reserve series. The beer has a full orange color and the aromatics pair the banana and clove notes from the Schneider yeast with the mango and citrus qualities of the hops. The bitterness is robust but balanced, and the beer has a clean, hoppy finish.
Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse pairs well with Caribbean seafood preparations, crab cakes, jerk chicken, Thai cuisine, Szechuan cooking and many Mexican dishes.”

High quality big wheat beer. Beautiful hazy caramel gold color and strong wheat and booze nose. Nice. Taste is slightly astringent, may need some time to mellow in the bottle? Not your normal "summer" wheat. This one would warm up most Munich winter nights.

(Draught) Pours a cloudy golden body with medium-sized off-white head. Aroma of citrus, clove, banana, bubblegum, light florals, and toasted grain. Flavor of banana, clove, caramel malt, and wheat. Exceptional!

Large white head. The first smell that hits you is hops. Amber color. Good balanced carbonation. Complex taste. Hints fruits and spice, cloves. Touch of sweet toffee in the finish.

This beer poured very dark and had a lot of whole hop petals floating in it. It was very strong in hop aroma. This beer had head retention like only Guiness can rival. This beer was truly unlike any beer I have ever tasted. This is a must for hop lovers and Hefeweizen lovers alike. This beer at first was almost only hop flavor, but by the end of the glass it was clear that the dry hops blended very well with the Hefeweizen
