Commercial Description:
The Wheeler Wheat is our latest mainstay and is a result of input from our staff and customers. People wanted refreshment and Wheeler Wheat is all about that. It's an American-style wheat with 45% malted wheat and select specialty malts. It has a pleasantly mild hop profile and has been enhanced with orange peel and coriander for added refreshment.

On tap at the Backcountry Brew Pub. Poured a light and slighty hazy golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas and tastes of very light wheat, citrus with a light spicy finish. Thin and watery body.

Virtually no head. Body is hazy dark yellow, dense tiny particles, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of orange and lemon. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

Draft 6 oz’er at the brewpub: Very active yellow beer with a big white head and the aroma of a melted creamsicle. This drinks milky and very biscuity for a wheat beer, giving it more of a cream ale character.

This was just not a well made beer at all. Smells, kind of funky and sweaty, from whatever type of spiciness was being used. LIght yeastiness, with very little residual flavor left over.
