COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our fourth flagship beer is “Water Tower Wheat”, named after Arvada’s famous landmark water tower. Arvada’s water tower is also Arvada Beer Company’s logo. The water tower was built in 1910, and just recently celebrated it’s centennial. Water Tower Wheat is a Bavarian Hefeweizen (Wheat Beer). The experience starts with a banana and clove aroma. It is an unfiltered traditional beer that prominently displays the quality of the unique strain of yeast. The banana and clove flavor is complimented by the wheat in this well rounded, flavorful beer. Wheat style beers have become very popular with novice beer drinkers who are starting to explore the craft brew world. The ABV is 4.5%.

notalush (3740) - Denver, Colorado, USA - JAN 16, 2012
Tap at ABC - hazy golden - creamy body, soft carbonation, full in the mouth - medium sweet and farily yeasty - moderate and well-integrated phenols of banana, clove, pepper - a hint of herbal notes (sage) - a bit tangy on the tail end, with lingering bready yeast and banana - mellow and tasty - dial down the sweetness a bit and it would be awesome.
