Schneider & Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse

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

Cloudy yellow/gold color; Medium creamy body; Aroma of wheat, citrus, and some lemon; Flavor consisting of yeast & hops, banana, citrus and some lemon overtones; Not to sure what to make of it at first - but I did enjoy it.

Poured clear at first, golden in colour, with a reasonable white head. Very interesting aroma. Hopped to a very American level of intensity, but with a more herbal German Hallertau edge. Lots of fruit: rich melon, mango, bubblegum, and spice. Flavour is fresh, hoppy, but not all that bitter, the banana wheat flavour helps to mellow it out. The alcohol is a bit much at first, but then recedes and you forget how strong this beer is. Finishes quite sweet. This is a very nice, super fruity wheat beer, almost Belgian in it’s unashamed strength and fruitiness. A bit unusual and not the kind of thing I’d drink every day, but great to try.

Draft and bottled. Pours a copper white body with a white head. Tropical fruit punch. Lemon and coriander like esters. Chewy gummy and a light bubble gum note. Some lighter spices to boot. Great beer!

Smells like banana, coriander, and cloves. Appearance of cloudy, unfiltered wheat that has a golden-orange color. Delightful flavors of alcohol, orange peel, and zesty but yet subtle hops; very tasty. This is an amazing weizen bock that shouldn’t be missed!

poured out gold with a bubbly head that fell rather quick. smell of citrus and pine. oarnge is present in the aroma, but i didnt add anything to the beer. the taste is sweet with a little hop flavor present with the forground and at the end of my palate. not much aftertaste and there is lacing around the glass. drinkabiltity is fair but i wouldnt want to drink this all night long.

0.5l bottle into weizen glass. Pours cloudy orange with a smaller (off white) head than most wheat beers. The prominent aroma is tangerines with caramel wheat malts and alcohol in the background. Sweet tangerines are again dominant on the tongue with touches of lemon citrus and spicy hops. The alcoholic presence comes through at the end. It is medium to full bodied with a rather sticky texture. Certainly an unusual take on the style (shouldn’t a weizen bock be dark?) but it is still largely successful in my opinion.

Bottle. Poured a murky orange with a small white head. First impressions are very good, very refreshing. Nice amount of citrus, watermelon, grapefruit, coriander, vanilla, some hops(but not too many). Aroma is decent, finish is a little dry but good. Carbonation is spot on too. Complex, refreshing and tasty.

Wonderful fresh aroma of pale malts followed quickly by pineapple peach and a zesty grassiness. Dark orange-yellow color, big lasting head and splotchy lacing. Quenching and lighter to medium bodied with a noticeable high alcohol finish and a subtle bitterness. Crisp hop flavors, spicy and green. The hops lead to a plush fruitiness that’s not quite all citrus. Sweet doughy malt with some grainy grass and a faint alcohol push.
