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.”

Hazy beige with fluffy 2cm head. Incredibly appetizing aroma - yeasty, spicy, lemon, melon, pear...gorgeous. Lemony, marshmallowy body with firm pale maltiness and pepper alcohol. Light clove and nutmeg. Rich, but refreshing, Very complex. A fantastic take on the style.

Shared by Stine. More of a pale ale than a weizenbock bock, the mere presence of wheat in a beer like this doesn’t seem to get it to weizen bock. Great beer anyway. Loads of hops in the aroma and flavor. Sweet malt, and alcohol. Unusual hops, a continental style. Thick and heavy. Sweet, with lots of citrus including grapefruit.

Pours hazy orange color with huge white head that lasted forever. Aromas of citrus and hops. Flavors of clove, dough, citrus, wheat, hops and a slight burn of alcohol. Medium body with lively carbonation. An excellent weizen bock.

Pours deep amber/orange into a tulip. Fluffy head with good retention recedes to skim surface. Resin and pine aromas. Creamy and full with upfront wheat and a lasting grapefruit finish. This is the best Brooklyn has to offer.

750 mL bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Pours a very hazy light orange color. Medium head with good retention. Aroma is strong piney hops with a good sweetness balancing it. Taste is floral and pine hoppiness with stone fruit. Very nice.

On tap at Bulldog. Served in a Schneider weisse glass this was more cloudy and had a much creamier head than you would find on most beer. Spicy nose with the wheat and hop characters showing life with citrus and banana. The mouth is thick, spicy and almost with some orange peel character, it comes across as a wit, triple, hefe mix as the yeast, wheat and hops all come out. Great depth and smooth body. Lasting finish that is mildly spicy with orange character. Fun stuff. I like it, but don’t expect anything near a wheat.

Picked up a growler of this at Shoreline in Huntington NY. Pours a slightly hazy straw yellow/gold with a medium foamy white head. Smells of yeast, grain, malt and bananas. Flavor is wheaty, yeasty, grainy with a touch of that barnyard funk. Finish is mild and crisp and hides the strength in the alcohol.

Courtesy of Degarth, thanks for lining up this keg for the 10/13/07 tasting.
Pours a hazy dirty gold to straw with white head. The aroma has some sugar sweetness mixed with tart and lemony notes as well as hints of wheat, the odd spice or two and banana. The flavor starts sweet with candi sugar, sugary malt sweetness and wheated malt or just plain wheat twang. This lead into a lemon tartness that becomes yeasty into the finish along with the sweetness is banana, apple faint spice and pepper. Great hot weather beer.

Growler - hazy light gold beer, with a soapy, large-bubbled head - the aroma explodes with american hops, but once your nose adjusts, there are complex notes of clove, lemon, and strong herbal notes (mostly thyme and rosemary) - the flavor progresses in much the same way - strong, pine and citrus american hop flavors up front, coupling well with your standard wheat beer flavors - then, more complex notes of thyme, lime leaves, peppery qualities - light sweetness near the finish, with some pineapple and orange - herbal notes and hop bitterness linger in the finish - the alcohol becomes a bit too apparent at the end, but the warming character it brings fits the herbal qualities of the beer - a very unique and tasty brew, with a bit more "character" than it’s companion.
