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.”

Thanks mcbackus. What a beautiful bottle! It makes for a great presentation. Pours a nice cloudy golden hue with a huge white head that just will not subside. Big musty aroma of clove, , and lemon. Some hop, as well. Like the aroma, the flavor is also big and distinct. It is full of yeast, earth, hop, tart fruit, and alcohol. The hop has the dry effect that provides a nice bite to the beer. This offers many of the best traits of a dry hopped APA mixed with the best hefe notes. It sends the palate all over the place hitting all the right spots. It arrives in the mouth as a hefe, jumps into a dry hopped APA, and finally dry bitterness cascades in. Delightful, interesting, and delicious.

Pours a cloudy golden orange with a substantial off-white head that retains well. The banana-clove complex is paired beautifully with tropical citrus, aromatic yeast and hop resin in the nose. The flavour is crisp, yet robust and is ripe with wheat, clove, pear, mango and bitter, floral hop flavours. The hoppiness paired with the typical wheat flavours is very intriging. It finishes very dry with surprisingly long palate duration. It has a well matched medium body with effervescent carbonation.

Bottle. Muddy deep orange color with a nice white head. Malty and wheat sweet aroma with hoppy and yeasty citric notes. Wheat sweet flavor with a light caramel note along a hoppy fruitiness. Light dry and hoppy finish with a vague sweet note. Tastes like a homebrew.

750ml. Pours a cloudy golden body with a big white head. Aroma/flavor is citrus; light pear and banana, some good spiciness clove, cinnamon. Very easy drinking and the 7.8abv blends in so well. Nice pick up.

Golden yellow with small but long lasting head. Thin but in a good refreshing way. Spicy and bitter with a very dry finish. Perfect.

a solid offering from brooklyn brewery; it is a wheat with aggressive hopping. the sweet floral aroma may mislead one to believe it’s an ipa, but the hint of wheat adds some intrigue into what might follow. the strong malt profile and the sweet fruity flavor blended well with the bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste. the lively carbonation, the mixture of banana and citrus, and the statement hopping; this weisse is an uniquely delightful treat.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden/orange color with a huge white head - this bottle was alive. Aroma is clove, banana, citrus, grain, and a slight display of cinnamon. Taste is roughly the same, though not as strong as the flavor would suggest. Very solid and balanced, but not spectacular.

750 ml bottle courtesy of emerica56! Pours a hazy golden color with a small white foamy head. Nose is refreshing, cloves being very dominate with mild tart ness, citrus and bready malts. Initial taste displays heavily from the aroma cloves splashing across the mouth, floral hops, touch of wheat, and citrus. Mid palate displays good parts of the floral hops. Good palate duration. Good head retention. Light to medium body.
