narratives

I recently started studying for the Cicerone beer sommelier certification program and thought it might be beneficial to begin blogging about the different styles of beers that I am tasting during my “studies.”

The first of my subjects was a hybrid weiße beer created through the collaboration of Brooklyn Brewery and Schneider & Sohn [aus München].

Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weiße

First impression: the aroma is captivating, crisp, and fruity. The beer holds a vibrant orange peel coloring with the grainy, haziness symbolic of weiße beers. It’s a beautiful looking beverage. The taste is tart, crisp and immediate, really capturing the tongue. One of the most refreshing and enjoyable beers I’ve had in a while. It’s perfect when consumed by itself, but I imagine it would be nice paired with a light cheese or frilly greens. Definitely a summer [or all-season florida] beer. Super delish.
