Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse

bottle, dated 1008, golden pour with big white foam and slight lace, sweet floral aroma, flavor of buttery orange, lemon, pineapple, very flowery finish but a little thin

Bottled 500ml. Hopfen Weisse pours completely hazy, yellow with red tones. Middle-large head is very thick and lasting. Even without proper sniffing, perfume-like aromas hovers irresistibly in to your nose. There’s also orange fruitiness, lavender soap and a nice hop presence in the aroma. Even though the flavor is quite unilateral, in its own curious specialty, it is really tasty. Special, mildly sweet, fruity notes of orange, tender, ethereal notes of aroma hops, lavender with clean, citric, grassy hops taking over towards the end of the mouthful. Softly and mildly carbonated, yet quite full-bodied and sticky on the palate. Very interesting, yet really tasty beer by these monster breweries.

750ml corked and caged from New Beer Distributors, NYC. The label and bottle stamping are so beautifully colored and textured I almost held off opening. Almost. Thick but not angry head with large bubbles. Amber white-ish coloring depending on which end of the bottle you’ve reached. Amazing aromas of camomile flowers, honey, paw-paws. Light on the tongue. It’s a happy beer, bubbling with citrus zest, fresh bread, and marigold flowers. Bit of spiciness in the finish, and a surprising mild but noticeable hop presence.

on tap at gingerman. A nice cloudy amer hue with a nice white head. Aroma had a great floral note mixed with some good fruit qualities. Flavor seemed to have great balance between the floral notes and fruit notes. There was a good bread presence through out and finish with a sublte sweetness. I really loved the rich floralnotes throughout this beer.

Bottle. Hazy orange yellow with a white foam. Aromas are floral with wheat and plenty of grapefruit. Spicy with tropical fruit mix and banana. Flavours are sweet wheat and caramel with spiced oranges and banana. Yeasty with lots of tropical fruit. Peppery and hoppy on the finish with warming alcohol. Very good.

Poured to a hazy golden yellow with medium-thick off-white head that lingered well and left decent lacing. Nose was a very strong and noticeable mix of hops, spices (clove) and fruit, especially bananas. Mouthfeel is full and somewhat tingly, and the taste mirrors the nose, with the pleasant addition of the 8.5% alcohol as the beer warmed. This led to a finish that was slightly bitter, long lasting and very pleasant. A very nice surprise from Brooklyn brewery, since I’ve not been impressed by most of their offerings.

A rather unusual product. Not a classic weizen-bock by any stretch, but very interesting. The difference is the hops, many many nice hops used for aroma only, very aromatic hop flowers. The look of this is classic, hazy, very thick foamed, dark yellow. Thick lacing. The palate is a bit sour, dry, fruity, delicate. Overall a very nice beer. Thanks for the trade Ron!
