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.”

Muddy deep orange colour with a nice white head. Malty and wheaty sweet aroma with hoppy and yeasty citric notes. Wheaty sweet flavor with a light caramel note along a hoppy fruityness. Light dry and hoppy finish with a vague sweet note.

Draft at Dilly Deli. Poured an hazy dark orange color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Heavy sour citrus, banana and clove and alcohol aroma. Medium body with a dry sticky texture. Heavy balanced bittersweet flavor with a medium spicy bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer.

<i>750ml bottle:</i> Golden straw color with a soap bubble, big head. Very punchy hop and spice nose. Citrusy lemon and orange notes pair well with a variety of spices. Allspice and lime leaves come to mind. A healthy dose of ethery alcohol appears as well. Thick and chewy for a wheat, the body offers more in the spice department. Lots of wheat to chew on. Finishes with a mild bitterness and push of alcohol. Complex and good.

Bottle. The beer pours to a murky pale straw colored body with a nice coating white head. The aroma is quite hoppy. Very fruity pineapple/starfruit and yeast with lots of wheat. The flavor is really wheat laden with some toffee and starfruit. The palate is not as textured as I’d have thought. The hops burp up pretty well however.

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.

Pour was like most hefe major head cloudy yellowish color. Aroma was banana, floral. Flavor was much the same, very nice crisp beer. Not sure why i had this in mid winter.

Pleasant surprise at Brewgrass 2007. Poured a cloudy straw color with a thick off-white head. A ton of clove and citrus in the aroma with a complimentary hop aroma - not like a Houblon mind you, but this wasn’t the intent judging from the description. Pretty interesting taste. Light malt with classic clove and pepper taste, but citric hop on the finish. A very different direction than the hoppy belgians - and hopping a weizenbock seems less of a stretch than hopping a tripel/Belgian. Nonetheless, this was a distinct brew and one I had the dumb luck to run into.

Bottle shared by Springslicker. Poured a hazy yellow with a tall creamy white head that mostly lasted and had good lacing. Nice hoppy/floral aroma with a clove and orange backing. The flavor had clove, pepper, and banana with a hop and light alcohol background. Medium body, smooth. Very nice!
