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.”

This is certainly unique to me. Has a lot of spices in it. Hops are much more pronounced than in other Schneider brews. Some kind of mango sweet fruit going. Something was a little off for my tastes, too sweet and yeasty. But I do appreciate the uniqueness of it and can see why people would like this.

Hazy golden pour with a beautiful nose of banana, clove, bready yeast, and other fruit influences. Same influence in the flavor with a smooth mouthfeel.

GABF 2007. A hazy yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy - especially coriander, but also with a strong note of alcohol - very much like Achouffes Double IPA. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of wheat and coriander, leading to a dry wheaty finish. The alcohol warms the cheeks.

Hazy yellow/orange color with a huge and dense white head. Strong presence of tangerines in the aroma. Very fruity, almost too much. Lots of banana, tangerine, and clove. The tangerine being the #1 thing I pick up. Lively mouthfeel. Good beer.

Hazy beige with fluffy 2cm head. Incredibly appetizing aroma - yeasty, spicy, lemon, melon, pear...gorgeous. Lemony, marshmallowy body with firm pale maltiness and pepper alcohol. Light clove and nutmeg. Rich, but refreshing, Very complex. A fantastic take on the style.

bomber from G&G after trading kevin an oak aged yeti. pours a cloudy, golden orange with a soft, thick white head. aroma is huge, very refreshing with hints of orange, banana, pumpkin spice, and floral hops. flavor is absolutely unique as far as my tasting has gone. honestly tastes like a great heffe mixed with a great IPA, elementary, i know. the hops stand out up front, but the bitterness is subdued by the wheat and citrus flavors of the heffe. Hints of orange, lemon zest, and pine follow on the back end. mouthfeel is slightly thick, good carbonation, and very easy to drink despite the 8.5%. overall, and outstanding beer from two class breweries.

Bottle - 750mL corked and caged. Pricey bottle as well - a hefty $15! Golden auburn pour. Tall, dense, sticky white head. Nose is hoppy with fresh hop notes, pine, wheat, banana, bubblegum, and citrus. Lots of yeast as well. Taste is hoppy but wheaty and yeasty with softer banana, stronger lemon and citrus notes, spices, lighter candy, hint of bubblegum, and some sweet malt notes. Body is light-medium to medium with moderate carbonation. Some dryness and a lingering bitterness to this one. The finish draws out the citrus and hops much more than a standard weizen bock. Lots of yeast, wheat, pine, citrus, candy, sweet malts, hint of toffee, spices and lemon peel. Very tasty!

Bottle. Was really looking forward to this one - two of my favorite breweries and one of my favorites styles. Things started off well with a great head and not too dark body that let you see all the beautfiul swirling underneath. Aroma was pretty good, fruity and sugary, but not too strong. Flavor is a bit drier than I’d like, with a harshness in the back from the alcohol, oh well. I guess I should try this one on tap.
