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.

Surprisingly light nose.... Floral and sour fermented pear. Some baking spice. Clouded copper / Amber body leaves a skim coat but not much lace. Creamy mouth full-bodied perhaps slightly under carbonated. Flavor is basically hefeweizen... Clove maybe some cardamom. Hops are tart perhaps slightly piney. Fairly low on the banana / bubble gum esters. Obviously wheat and in a good way. Drinkable but perhaps a little intense.

The beer pours a clouded orange colour with a lot of foam on top. Head lasts several minutes and laces well. The aroma is banana, bubble gum, wheat, spices, and light citrus. Mouthfeel is average. The flavor is sweetish with the malt up front, followed by the light citrus and spicy hop notes. A very good beer.

Thought it a bad idea on the label-then open the bottle-what is this I smell? Rubbing alcohol? Taste it-yep rubbing alcohol. ??? This looks good-taste...RA again. Not my bier! I'll stick with the original, the brewers can Stick this one. Avoiditbrau.

Tall white head with a light, cloudy orange/amber pour and good carbonation and lacing. Fruity aromas with bananas, peaches and pear, and yeasts, hops and wet straw. Taste is big on the bananas and ripe fruits upfront and a nice dose of hops and light linger.

Pours out in a cloudy dark yellow and orange colour with a rich eruptive sticky white foam. Dense aroma of cloves, yeast, perfumy floral hops, grass and spices. Medium to full-bodied with notes of yeast, tangerine, grass, flowers and dough. Yeasty finish with crisp undertones of grass and tangerine. Rather tasty but I prefer the German version though.

A cloudy amber colored beer. A big, creamy textured, off white head rises robustly above. There's decent hang time. Settles eventually into a thick soapy ringlet. Spices are of clovesand pepper. Bananas and candines are all in a nice blending in nose and tasting. Nice silkiness on the tongue. I liked it.

Interesting and fun. Pours a hazy orange blond with a lilty white head. Aroma is grassy. Mouthfeel is crisp but sweet. Flavor is sweet, hoppy, fruity, sweet. Definitely good!

A collaboration with Brooklyn's Garrett Oliver and Schneider's Hans-Peter Drexler. Bottle-conditioned ale, 8.5% ABV. Long-lasting four finger head with excellent lacing. Aroma is sweet and grassy, with citrus notes. Definite hop bite in the taste, a bitterness that grabs your attention. Mouthfeel is as smooth as silk. The alcohol, malt, and hops are well-balanced leaving a clean aftertaste. Highly recommended. I want to try the companion brew: Schneider & Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse.

Noble hops, dry malt and fruity oranges on the nose. A nice welcoming scent. Vibrant orange color with a heavy head and good lacing. Hearty, balanced beer leaning on the sweet side but with a good hop presence. Dry wheat, honey and mild fruits. A hint of musty yeast as well as fresh bread and a faint woodiness.
