G. Schneider & Sohn / Brooklyn Brewery Schneider & Brooklyner Hopfenweisse Weizenbock at 8.2% ABV (C$3.99 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 500 ml, bottle date 30-Apr-2014)
Pours cloudy straw with two fingers of rocky off-white head, good retention and lacing. (4/5) Nose is banana, cloves, yeast, oranges, mild resin. (8/10) Taste is moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Medium bodied, moderate sustained carbonation and a mild bitter finish. (4/5)
An interesting wheat beer, with lots of characteristic banana and cloves, underpinned by citrus and mild piney resin. The stronger flavours work well to support the higher ABV and prevent it from being intrusive. (16/20)
My 145th from the 2010 Edition (139th from the 2013 edition), and 155th combining both editions.
