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.”

Noble hops, dry malt and fruity oranges on the nose. A nice welcoming scent. Vibrant orange color with a heavy head and good lacing. Hearty, balanced beer leaning on the sweet side but with a good hop presence. Dry wheat, honey and mild fruits. A hint of musty yeast as well as fresh bread and a faint woodiness.

750ml corked brown bottle. Lightly hazy, golden beer with a towering off white head, lots of carbonation bubbles rushing through my weizen glass. When the head settles a bit good clinging lace is left behind. Nose has a good amount of honeyish malt sweetness, floral qualities are broken up by spicy hops with a bit of black pepper. In the mouth the beer has a fairly sweet makeup - honey, clove, orange and banana are immediately noticable. Finishes with some yeast and medium citrus bitterness/aftertaste. Medium body to full body, theres some wieght to it, but its nto sticky or syrupy. Alcohol is present, gently reminding you that you’re having a weizenbock. The carbonation is not as strong as the visuals suggested. It is even and smooth/soft. Overall, very well put together, nice hop character, bold flavourful, yet still retains a good balance and has great drinkablity for it’s strength.

Bottle. Hazy golden colour, big white head. Smells sour apple, citrus hops and peppery spices. The taste is yeasty and wheaty at first (with a small sourness), american hops adds some bitterness and vanilla rounds it off. Not super complex, although super good!

Pours glden orange with a frizzy head. There is definately hallertau and/or amarillo hops involved here. There’s a bit of mango in the aroma. Flavor is good and citrusy with a flavorful balanced malt and a tamed full hops character. Body is full but light enough to still be enjoyed in the summer. I usually don’t like weizenbocks, but this one is an exception. Its dry on the palate and has a little bit of after fizz like a good weiss should. Goes well with caprese salad under big oak trees in the middle of austin texas yall.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy golden with a large creamy white head that lasts awhile leaving behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a banana yeast with citrus and honey. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet malt taste with yeast, banana and a nice crisp finish. Hides the alcohol making it easy to drink, very refreshing, a very impressive Weizen-Bock from Brooklyn.

Actually get a Belgian yeast aroma, assertive but gentle. Hazed gold, strong lacing. Light bodied and subtle, nice and smooth.
