2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This was purchased at the Caboose in Ashland, Va. I was hoping to make a beer tasting by Troeg’s Brewery. It was rescheduled. I found two beers worthy of tasting. Bell’s has some excellent products. I have had few wheat ales. It is thin and without much spiciness or fruity flavors. It is a disappointing beer. Reviewing the rating the 2009 version may be weaker than in the past. The ale poured with a nice head that stayed with the beer. The color was cloudy yellowish amber.

A: Pale cloudy orange body... thick fluffy white head... reduces to a nice film with good lacing..
S: Lots of summer citrus... oranges and lemons.. nice wheat base.
T: Well balanced between the orange/lemon citrus flavors and the soft wheat base...
M: Smooth. crisp finish. refreshing...
O: Overall this is a great drinker... nice and refreshing and a bit different than most wheat beers in that the wheat is muted and oranges are delicate.. today it was in the mid 70s... i just had to have this!

Delivers on its promise, an excellent light and flavorful wheat beer with some fruit sweetness and peppery spice notes.

NIce and spicy, fruity, and refreshing. A very good summer style beer that you can enjoy with friends.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a orange gold with a white head and wheaty aroma. Flavor is of sweet malts and wheat, pretty light tasting, with a dry bitter finish. Nothing too memorable about this brew.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Golden colored with creamy white foamy head. Aroma is yeasty and grassy. Not much flavor, a bit watery but it is a wheat ale. Drinks easily but taste is too flat for me.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Deep golden color with an attractive white head. The nose is summery and floral, bright sugars and grassy hops. The taste is moderately sweet with a watery finish. The body’s light and approachable. Overall, OK, not very interesting.

After a nice citrus aroma you get a great creamy wheat taste. Just a beautiful ale to see, smell, and drink!
