750 ml bottle (the first 750 of a German-style beer I’ve seen?) from Richmond Beverage in Richmond, VT (May 2008) served near cellar temperature once the head finally dissipated from a Ramstein glass, after an entire bottle of wine and a big shot of bourbon, so this reivew is gonna suck. Bite me. Pours a hazy dull brass-bronze with a massive gout of head that refuses to disappear for several minutes living a bit of chunky lacing as it finally dies....thick caramelized bananas in the nose, light spices, vanilla syrup and a bit of bourbon, very sweet.....full and luscious mouthfeel, lightly alcoholic, quite malty and rich with caramelization dominant, a bit of woody bitterness towards the finish, little in the way of wheaty tartness though it’s there if you look for it, particularly at the end when it’s warmed a bit....not a patch on Plank or Alesmith, but eminently drinkable, if a bit pretentious and pricey in its packaging.

Nov 27, 2009 750 shared with a buddy. I am not into wheat beers, but this one was pretty quality. Wheaty, yeasty, and a hint of banana, but with a uniquely pleasing hoppy bitterness. Not as much of the hop flavor as bitterness, but it worked well. Not worth the price IMO, but if your a wheat locer and a hop lover, then it might very well be.

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.

Nov 26, 2009 Probably the best Hopfen-Weiss that Ive ever had. The combo Schneider/Brooklyn is unmatched for the floral and citrus tase to the yeast and makes this a very enjoyable beer, well done!
