Oct 3, 2008 Bottle #0528. One of the pricier brews I have tried ($14 for a 25.4 oz bottle). Cloudy tan pour (looks almost like honey) with a big, spongy head. Averagel label using the Brooklyn Brewery logo. Penetrating honeysuckle aroma. Tastes full and hoppy, with some orange, astringent tang and strong wheat tones. It is smooth and flavorful on the palate, with a good amount of malty sweetness. This is very similar to the Schneider-Brooklyner version. It would be interesting to someday try them side by side. I love good weizenbocks, and this is definitely one.

Jun 13, 2008 On tap @ Galaxy Global Eatery in NYC. Cloudy orangey yellow color with a fluffy white head. Complex aroma of yeast, wheat and lemon. Each sip had a different flavor: wheat, banana, lemon, etc etc. Really great beer.

Aug 8, 2008 Yay! Totally hazed, opaque, ochre with 1/2 inch almost pink head. Lovely bouquet filled with orange blossoms, pink grapefruit, citrus zest. Big bursting mouthfeel of foam and prickle. Apple, custard, and custard apple flavors. The balance of sweet, thick wheat malts and bright citrusy hops is extraordinary. I love this beer, and would love to have this side by side with the Schneider version to compare.

Nov 26, 2009 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.

Jun 7, 2009 A nice hazy golden beer with a large fluffy white head. Good sweet citrusy hop nose with yeasty wheat breadiness. Amazing hop flavor, like juicy fruit. Doesn’t have the bitterness that most hoppy beers bear, but this works real well with the light wheat malt. Perhaps the perfect summer beer, very refreshing! No trace of the 8.5%. Very unusual beer, but I think it really works!

Apr 28, 2008 750 ml bottle. Pours a light cloudy amber with a big fizzy white head. The aroma is mostly hefeweizen, with the familiar banana and cloves, but the undertone of citrusy hops mixes very nicely. The taste is again mostly that of a very good hefeweizen, but the citrusy hops is palpably there and becomes more prominent in the finish as it lingers just a bit longer, mingling very nicely. A solid and unique beer. I really enjoyed this one. I’ll have to stock up on it!

Sep 14, 2009 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.
