Label stuff: Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse is a collaboration between brewmasters Hans-Peter Drexler of the Schneider brewing company and Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery. Together they bring you a new sensation, a pale weissbock fermented with the Schneider yeast, then robustly dry-hopped with a blend of Amarillo and Palisade hops.
How does it taste? It seems that every beer that I buy that is sealed with a cork smells sour. Fortunately, this one is only slightly off. I'm not a fan of the yeast in this beer. It's not Belgian bad, but it is Belgian-Lite. The wheat flavor is good. I love Amarillo hops, which I use to dry hop my home-brews. Amarillo adds great citrus aromas, without beeing too bitter. They should have used more. You expect these kind of beers to be better than your average beer, I don't equate different and quality. It still has to taste great amd this beer is pretty average. Having said all of that, for a beer that doesn't blow me away, it does go down quickly.
Cost: $11.49 for 1 pint, 9.4 fl oz.
