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 7 C, 20091028 It was high pressure in that bottle, ater the cork had disappered I put the thing on the table - after 5 sec it started to spurt. No wonder the fermentation (0,5 cm 1/2 a year storage) was mixed in! AR.: yeast, strawberry, apricot AP: weize cloudy, mostly lasting rocky head F: yeast, strawberry, apricot, german äppelmos, medium strong bitterness - long lasting finishing. I can recommend this Weisse, but be careful while opening!

Hazy beige with fluffy 2cm head. Incredibly appetizing aroma - yeasty, spicy, lemon, melon, pear...gorgeous. Lemony, marshmallowy body with firm pale maltiness and pepper alcohol. Light clove and nutmeg. Rich, but refreshing, Very complex. A fantastic take on the style.

Bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. Real good floral aroma on the nose. Hazy gold body with white sustaining head and good lacing. Lot of flavors citrus at first. Then sweet sugar pepper and spices are in the mix. A sweet pepper aftertatse left on palate. Good brew after a night at work. Should sleep like a baby today.

Bottle at Beer Exposed. Probably the best aroma of the day. The grapefruit and the wheat. In mouth, so full and creamy and then liquid grapefruit on finish and sherbert hop. Outstanding. Harsher hop than the German version.

Bottle (kindly delivered by asheft!) - sampled simultaneously with the "german" version: Golden, cloudy, mid-sized fluffy "dirty" white head; extreme "sticky" piney hoppy nose with illusions of fresly mowed grass and a lighter wheaty-fruity background; very solid dry bitter flavour, creamy MF, medium to full bodied; smooth, lingering, dry hoppy and grainy finish. Great, great stuff..... The german equivalent is made by the use of different hops, which seem to be - compared directly - a little, little bit less aromatic. Nevertheless also a superb brew.......

22 oz. bomber on 5/10/2008. Hazy deep gold body under a creamy, billowing white head that lasts and lasts, leaving thick, sticky lace - phenomenal looking. Wonderful aroma that has the characteristics of a German wheat with the banana and clove esters underneath and the citrus qualities of the Amarillo hops on top, a unique aroma that works well.

Medium body and carbonation, not overly effervescent as I expected after I saw the pour. Very smooth, almost creamy, yet clean and lightly dry. on the palate.

A solid, light malty base supports a balanced, soft grapefruit bitterness that extends into a long dry finish. This is just excellent in all respects.

Opens with a pop and a puff of smoke! Great pour, deep dark golden orange with so many tiny bubbles and a HUGE creamy off-white froth that sticks around forever. Wow, great aroma, sooo hoppy, spicy, banana, clove... fantastic! Tried to take a sip and it left white suds all over my nose and upper lip! Its says 7.8% however my bottle says 8.5. Im inclined to think 7.8 as it is way less hot and more manageable than the Schneider-Brooklyner. The stronger hop character and better wheat/barley malt ratio really balance and fill it out. Sweet and sticky, medium body, but still fluffy and very drinkable. Long juicy hop finish, very rich. Some butterscotch and orange peel. $%*&#$*Q(%@ sooo good!

My favorite beer the German beer fest. This combines the bitterness of an IPA with the sweet and refreshingness of wheat. reminds me of the first time they mixed peanut butter with jelly.
