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.”

Bottle (750ml) shared with GregClow, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of GregClow. Pours a hazy orange-copper with a large foamy white head. Nice lacing. Fantastic aroma is yeasty, sweet and hoppy along with wheat and light spices -- Yowza that’s nice! Flavour’s also yeasty along with plenty of floral hops, some fruit, wheat and spices. Nice spicy bitter finish. Medium bodied. Man oh man this is good stuff!

2008-10-02. Very lightly hazy yellow body with a huge foamy white head. Yeast is prominent in a modest aroma, light something coats the malt. (8+) Flavour has a light wheaty yeasty bite, modest alcohol. Mild pale malt, dry lightly tart wheat notes. (7+) Average plus palate is fairly effervescent. (3+) Rather good, quite drinkable. Bottle via rudolf, shared by GregClow

Bottle #0528. One of the pricier brews I have tried ($14 for a 25.4 oz bottle). Cloudy tan pour (looks almost like honey) with a big, spongy head. Averagel label using the Brooklyn Brewery logo. Penetrating honeysuckle aroma. Tastes full and hoppy, with some orange, astringent tang and strong wheat tones. It is smooth and flavorful on the palate, with a good amount of malty sweetness. This is very similar to the Schneider-Brooklyner version. It would be interesting to someday try them side by side. I love good weizenbocks, and this is definitely one.

Good beer, my fifth at beerfest. It doesn’t taste like a bock at all in my limited experience. Complex.

Bottle shared by Springslicker. Poured a hazy yellow with a tall creamy white head that mostly lasted and had good lacing. Nice hoppy/floral aroma with a clove and orange backing. The flavor had clove, pepper, and banana with a hop and light alcohol background. Medium body, smooth. Very nice!

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very nice aroma - yeasty-strong, alcoholic. Tastes the same, very strong and yeasty, fruity and fresh, the finish is more sourish, scratchy, a bit like wood. Not bad, but I liked the Schneider & Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse more. Big thanks to jjpm74 for the bottle!

This is great! A bitter Weisse beer. Difficult to find in Europe. I liked it very much.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Cloudy deep golden, livelyhead. Phenolic clove and banana aroma. Sweet and soft. Fruity and soapy, caramelly and fruity, Grapefruit and alcohol play their part. An intense, warming beer, pretty much in a style of it’s own.
