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 from Jason’s in Ellicott City, MD. Finally got to try the Brooklyn version, and it was awesome. Definitely preferred it to the Schneider & Brooklyner. Awesome hazy golden-appearance with a large white head that clings to the glass and excellent lacing. Aroma is wheat, yeast, banana, citrus, and some floral hops. Flavor is wheat, banana, clove, honey, spice, orange peel, and great floral and citrusy hops. Fairly dry finish with medium body and soft, smooth carbonation.

Bottle: Hazy yellow colour, nice creamy head. Aroma of lots of citrus and fruits. Flavor is almost the same, lots of sitrus,flowery/sweet mouth feeling, and a nice medium body, and along fruity, and yeasty finish.

It really is cloudy yellow .. a big head very foamy. Aroma of wheat and grape prehaps oranges. A taste of wheat and hops some cloves and yeast. The finish is bitter hoppy and dry. I like this one.

Pours a gorgeous cloudy golden yellow. Lots of beautiful foamy head. Really radiant, and yet so cloudy. Nearly flawless. Heavy scents of wheat and strong orange peel. Only a hint of banana. Sweet, but grounded by the thick yeast aroma. Very nice, esp for a hef. Not saccharine; balanced. A hoppy hef? This has the sweetness of the orange/banana on the hef part, but a final swallow of bitter grapefruit hops. The balance is an unusual welcome. Gorgeous hoppy aftertaste. Great for style. Thick and smooth, but a tad fizzy. Nice, bitter hop film. It’s smooth, but has a lot more than the average hef. Really nice hops. Smooth but substantial. A uniquely excellent brew.

Hazy yellow/brown. Big head that soon dissapears. Very fruity, orange and passion fruit. Very wheathy as well, more bitterness than your usual weizen. Must be drunk right away, looses all carisma if kept in open bottle form more than 90 minutes.

It is unclear, warm golden with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus, oranges and yeast. The flavour has sweetness and notes of aromatic hops, oranges, yeast, light banana and clove and in the finish I find notes of grapefruit peel. Very different, well made, but very far from German.

Fruity citrus aroma. Hazy golden/orange with thick head. Banana, yeast spiciness, and drying hops. Mid range body. Enjoyable beer.
