May 2, 2009 Bottle from j12601, thanks man! Poured a hazy yellow-orange color with a thick, rocky white head that left thick sheets of lacing. Wheaty, fruity aroma (orange, banana) with some light spiciness (clove, light pepper), faint bubble gum, and some light yeast. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some bright fruitiness (orange, soft banana) and some creamy wheat transitions into a dry hoppiness paired with some soft spiciness on the finish (mostly clove). Moderate carbonation and nice mouth feel. This was a really nice, easy drinking beer. This is something I wish was available locally. Thanks again Jay.

Apr 20, 2009 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.

Apr 15, 2009 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.

Apr 13, 2009 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.

Apr 2, 2009 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.
