Schneider & Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse

Brewed by Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn
Style: Weizen Bock
Kelheim, Germany

By far one of the most unique beers I’ve ever had. The mix between the bitterness of the hops and the rich maltiness typical of hefeweizens is pretty amazing. The taste is really unique and this is definitely a beer I would recommend.

50cl bottle from WeeHeavySD, Thanks Jon! poured a hazy golden with a huge whiteish head. nice hoppy aroma mixed with some typical banna weiss . Nice complex flavor rich and fruity. long finish. yummy!

Bottled at the Bull and Castle, Dublin. Great fusion beer, bringing together the traditions. Banana and wheat malt, then the hops kick in to make this a multi-dimensional beer. Deceivingly easy-drinking, you don’t feel much of the alcohol. Someone said pineapple smoothie, but I enjoyed this a lot. Grassy finish.

On tap at Zeno’s Pub - State College, PA. Rich, floral nose in cream of wheat and bubbly champagne esters. Pours a really murky, middle gold with bronze corners and rim of white. Flavor is intense. A really deep, rich wheat flavor, glowing with some caramels, toast and almonds. There’s a fresh bread that moves through a portal of vegetal character. Deep, hearty and a bit meaty. Real and deep. Most interesting here in the hop flavor. It’s got a grassy, bamboo character. A very unique plant character. Not bad, but really, really fresh and vibrant. Gives stunning balance to the beer, but leaves me taken aback. A fresh, well delivered beer. Could have sat a little lighter on the palate, but it’s pretty decent. Not as nice as the reverse version.

Big thanks to joss for the bottle. The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass is incredible. Very turbid, aroma like a barley wine. Tastes the same - very strong, hoppy, finish very long and intense. Can’t remember a beer as good as this!

Bottle. Large fizzy off-white head that mostly diminished, spotty amounts of lacing, transparent, lively, fast rising carbonation observed, and a golden hue. Nose was hoppy, citrus, spicy, fruity, some clove, wheat, and hint of banana. Flavor is fruity, hoppy, some spiciness, and wheat. Smooth and slightly tingly mouthfeel. Medium in body. Quaffable, balanced and good for the style. Worthy of a try.

Golden pour with big white head. Aroma is very wheaty with lots of floral hops and even some butterscotch. Flavor is fruity, dominated by bavarian yeast, some butterscotch note and floral hops with a touch of candi sugar in the finish. Creamy mouthfeel it’s really smooth but dominated by a candi sugar sweetness and the dry-hops and strange but also the yeast that is just buttery.

bottle - thank you pivnizub! Very very cloudy yellow-orange colour, large and creamy and very stable head. Yeasty, fruity, hints of banana, estery alcohol. Very intensive flavours and a very intensive hoppy bitterness make this beer really fascinating.
