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.”

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.

Hazy yellow with huge white head. Intense hop and spice aroma is strong enough to make me cough, but also has delicate pineapple undertones. Taste is intense as well, and singes my palate with cloves and massive amounts of resinous dry hops. Vastly different from the Schneider version.

750 ml bottle. From the US (H). Shared with Brandman.
Dark orange colour with frothy small to average off-white head. Toffee/caramel, smoothiness and some alcohol in aroma. Rich, yeasty, hoppy and wheaty flavour with some alcohol warmth. Enjoyable.

750 bottle corked and caged opened with a loud pop. poured into a weizen glass has a yellow golden hazy color and fairly hefty carbonation. the smell of the sweet dry hops is apparent as it was being poured. schneider banana yeast, honey, aromatic citrus hops, grass, clove, a hit of mango, and pepper. mouth feel is medium but has a great texture. flavor starts peppery, then moves to a banana yeast with floral, honey sweetness, malt, and fantastic hops. the schneider trademark yeast really shines against the wheat and hops side. spiced just right and finishes with sweetness and then turns dry with hop spice and a long duration. lots of flavors to keep your interest, nicely done bottle design, and a quality cork.

Another bottle from West Lakeview. I have wanted to try this forever and it didn’t disappoint. Full nose of sugar, caramel, wheat, and German yeast. Color was a full yellow-gold. Flavor was like a crusty bread pudding - raisin, more wheat and yeast. Authentically hazy.

Pours hazy orange color with huge white head that lasted forever. Aromas of citrus and hops. Flavors of clove, dough, citrus, wheat, hops and a slight burn of alcohol. Medium body with lively carbonation. An excellent weizen bock.

Picked up a growler of this at Shoreline in Huntington NY. Pours a slightly hazy straw yellow/gold with a medium foamy white head. Smells of yeast, grain, malt and bananas. Flavor is wheaty, yeasty, grainy with a touch of that barnyard funk. Finish is mild and crisp and hides the strength in the alcohol.
