Sample at the Brewery today, pours gold with a white head. Nice drinkable american wheat with some a nice balanced feel.

Remarkably clear with low head retention, but a nice white fluffy head. Low aroma, but smells like pilsner malt. Low sweetness, with slight wheat and a small bit of pilsner malt. I.... I don’t get it. I LOVE Alpine, Pat makes some amazing brews, but I don’t get this beer. I would’ve preferred an actual wheat beer but this is just like a booring pilsner/wheat. Three cheers for clarity, though.

Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a bubbly, white head. Smell: It’s wheaty, lemony, maybe a bit floral. Taste: Mixture of pale malts and soft, malted wheat. Medium sweetness. Some tart lemon. Mild bitterness. Sweet, lemony finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-low carbonation. Drinkability: One of those so-so, average at best kind of beers where, if it weren’t for these notes, would be instantly forgettable.

From tap at Pizza Port, San Clemente. Pours clear and yellow with a lacing white head. Mild pilsner hops and malt aroma. Mild flavour if not to say vague. Reminds me more of a german pilsner than a kristall weizen. Light wheaty touch towards the finish though.
