Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse

Beer-a-Day #285Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse

This unique and exciting beer is a collaboration between brewmasters Hans-Peter Dresler of the Schneider Brewery and Garrett Oliver of The Brooklyn Brewery.

[It is] a pale weisse-bock fermented with the Schneider yeast, then robustly dry-hopped with a blend of Amarillo and Palisade hops.

Pale yellow with some chill haze. Citrusy-pineapple in the aroma. A little sweet with a decent finish.

Ron says: Aroma reminds of old wood. A little marmalade in the flavor.

Hop Talk Advisory Panel says: Compares favorably to many wheat beers imbibed in Germany under several different levels of sobriety. Don doesn’t like wheat beers, though; he says they taste like soap.
