750 ml bottle. I’ve been looking forward to this beer for a while. Pours cloudy orange with a fluffy white head. Great aroma of superfresh hops, imparting a spicy, earthy, citrusy aroma in addition to the more traditional bread and banana notes. Taste is similar, with really fresh hop character and a distincitive clove/spice quality. Excellent beer. Will definitely have again.

Oct 5, 2008 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.

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.

Oct 1, 2008 Good beer, my fifth at beerfest. It doesn’t taste like a bock at all in my limited experience. Complex.

Sep 30, 2008 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!

Sep 26, 2008 The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very nice aroma - yeasty-strong, alcoholic. Tastes the same, very strong and yeasty, fruity and fresh, the finish is more sourish, scratchy, a bit like wood. Not bad, but I liked the Schneider & Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse more.
Big thanks to jjpm74 for the bottle!
