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.”

A Mes rate: 75cl bottle at Beer Exposed.
Beautiful clean-ish gold with an excellent white head (if poured carefully!). Massively good aroma. Astonishing fresh hops spill out of the glass and can be smelled at quite a distance. Just squeezed grapefruit and lemon juice and just citrus all over the place. F**king stunning! The flavour is so fresh and hoppy it is almost minty. A ton of hops that appear to have been added not more than five minutes ago. Gloriously dry. It’s just full on hop juice really but my GOD it’s good. Beautiful tangerine notes too coupled with a perfect level of sweetness. The palate feels a little over carbed at first but it calms down quickly and delivers the awesome flavour beautifully. Simply amazing stuff, I’m in love...

Al ittle tart aroma, but a beautiful opaque honey body,with a two finger near white head, this bock rewards your attentive consumption--clove, banana notes, a little citric as well. Very smooth finish, a great choice.

Bottle (750ml) shared with GregClow, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of GregClow. Pours a hazy orange-copper with a large foamy white head. Nice lacing. Fantastic aroma is yeasty, sweet and hoppy along with wheat and light spices -- Yowza that’s nice! Flavour’s also yeasty along with plenty of floral hops, some fruit, wheat and spices. Nice spicy bitter finish. Medium bodied. Man oh man this is good stuff!

2008-10-02. Very lightly hazy yellow body with a huge foamy white head. Yeast is prominent in a modest aroma, light something coats the malt. (8+) Flavour has a light wheaty yeasty bite, modest alcohol. Mild pale malt, dry lightly tart wheat notes. (7+) Average plus palate is fairly effervescent. (3+) Rather good, quite drinkable. Bottle via rudolf, shared by GregClow
