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.”

On tap @ North BAr (Leeds, UK). Lovely sweet, grapefruity, bready aroma. Bright gold in colour and hazy. Tastes as it smells, with more pronounced and welcome yeastiness easy to drink very quaffable. Very impressed would seek out again.

On tap at the Rake, May 2009. Does pretty much what it says on the tin – a hopped up wheat beer. I also detected some volatile gluey notes in the aroma and some rather odd smoky notes. But it was certainly an interesting, and unusual, take on a wheat beer. For which it gains credit from me.

pours a crisp yellow gold with huge white head. aroma is just spilling juicyfruit gum, sugars and a little banana. drinks very sweet and bubbly with juicyfruit gum being a very predominant flavor but also sweet malts and light candied sugars. finishes quick and dry with a fruity after taste.

750 ML Bottle in USA. Huge spicy hoppy nose. Pours cloudy orange with a thick white head. Good citrus flavors, wheaty, and good German weizen yeast qualities, but there’s a big hoppy presence which I feel is out of place, spicy and citrusy. Very good.

750 ml bottle. Hazy yellow-brown with a thick foamy white head with great retention and good lacing. Aroma is wheat, citrusy hops and herbs. Flavor is wheat, alcohol, herbs and citrusy hops with a creamy mouthfeel. I didn’t taste the classic cloves and banana from the weizen yeast, I tought that this might have been brewed with a belgian yeast, but seems like I was wrong. Very good and drinkable.

750 ml bottle. From the US (H). Shared with Brandman.
Dark orange colour with frothy small to average off-white head. Toffee/caramel, smoothiness and some alcohol in aroma. Rich, yeasty, hoppy and wheaty flavour with some alcohol warmth. Enjoyable.
