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.”

750ml corked and caged bottle. Amber pour with a huge head, Aroma has lots and lots of hops mixed with lots and lots of wheat, and a good amount of alcohol. Flavour has lots of banana esters, and more hope,but the alcohol is again quite prominent.

Backlog October 2009. Unclear, deep golden orange body under a big off white head. Lovely aroma with lots of fresh citric fruit with wheat and pale malt. Taste is mild pale malt, wheat, citric fruit and a spicy yeast touch. Medium body and nice aftertaste. A successful combination of a hefe wissen and a white IPA.

I got this bottle in a trade with nutbrown and seeing as I really flipped(a good thing) when I had a few samples at last year's GABF, boy am I pleased. Thanks Alan!

It pours from the caged and corked, very good looking 750ml bottle a hazy(turns cloudy after the initial pour) orange gold with a 3 finger head of ever rising foam..ok, so I had to eat some of the foam before I could actually hold up the glass and look at it but hey, I don't mind suffering through that. Anywho, this puppy has a lot of bubbly action going on and there's a lot of sticky lacing.

The nose gives me big notes of wheat, yeast, clove, banana, spice, and hops. It just smells *that* damn good.

First sip brings back the memories of the small samples I had...Wheat working in perfect unison with hops. Man. Nice spice here as well with a flavourful but not overdone presence of clove, good banana flavour, yeast, and again, the hoppy goodness meshes so darn well. This is so drinkable but I have to watch out as this isn't exactly a lightweight when it comes to the abv and I don't want my judgement being impaired by drinking it too quickly.

Nice medium mouthfeel here, and though the carbonation looks spritzy in the glass, it isn't highly carbonated at all. Gotta love these bottle conditioned beers. It finishes with a nice mix of wheat and lemon zest that demands that I take another sip. Wow. What a brew!! Btw, to clarify my previous remark, there is no sign of the alcohol in the taste and there's just some slight warming after the swallow.

Bottom line: This is my favourite Brooklyn brew to date and it's going to take some doing to knock it off its perch. A big "Thank You" goes out to Brooklyn for brewing this wonderful nectar and to nutbrown, again, for sending this bottle my way. Highly recommended to the nth degree!

Seems like forever since I’ve had a German weizen. This is a goodie! German quality with American hops. Cloudy dark golden (swirled end of bottle into my Schnieder weizen glass) with creamy off-white head. Normal weizen textures and tastes with the bonus of some extra hops, this a nice experiment, with great results.

Bottle, Clear amber with a mrdium white head. Aroma is sweet citrus, grapefruit hop. Flavour is tangy spice, fruit with an intense mouthfeel, a little fizzy alcohol on the tongue. Intense and a little strange.
