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.”

(750ml Bottle) Purchased at Brewery Creek in November 2008 for $18; shared with Enniskillen. Lightly clouded, golden body with a frothy white head. Nose of Champagne and wild yeast, tart. Mildly more sour than the Schneider and lemon pie. More malted than the other recipe. I certainly like this but not nearly as much as the forementioned. Very good. 8/4/8/3/15

Nice amber with a nice white head. Aroma is a fairly strong piney hop content, light yeast, light banana and alcohol but hops are dominant. Taste is a light fruitness, with alcohol, and nice hoppiness. Warming.

Poured from 750 bottle. Pours golden orange with huge foamy head. Smells of yeast and citrus, lemons and oranges. Taste is orange, banana, wheat, and a bit of hops. Finishes a bit sour, much like sourdough bread. Medium body, very carbonated. Interesting beer, definitely worth a try

[1748-20081002] 1pt9.4floz bottle. Aroma of yeasty sour bread and green leafy nubbins. Murky, light brown orange body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Toasted yeasty grain bread and sweet floral flavour. Medium body is a little tart. Really good, drinkable, interesting!

Bottle shared at tasting. Pours a glowing orange color with an offwhite head. Smell is oranges, citrus and wheat. Taste is very orange like with a bit of a citrus rind bitterness to it more so than a wheat flavor, but the wheat is there in the finish. Clean, refreshing and with a solid bitterness. Not bad.

750ml bottle from Swolf3, thank you Wolf. A bit darker than the Schneider version. A lighter aroma than the the Schneider as well. Much smoother and a little more flavor as well, not nearly as harsh. Very good.

This was my New Year’s Eve 2009 beer. (Thanks Ed) 750ml bottle: poured amber with a thick off white head. Some wheat aroma and notes of banana, clove, and bubblegum. Flavor is light banana and bubblegum with a big hit of bitter hops. Lightly citrus with strong carbonation. Moderately dry with a big bitter finish. I would have liked it better with alittle less hops.
