Boulder Beer Sweaty Betty Blonde

Brewed by Boulder Beer Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Boulder, Colorado USA

This hazy yellow pour smells of banana with some sour notes. It is a pretty sweet flavored wheat. Mainly banana and it is pretty smooth and drinkable.

Pours a cloudy yellow gold, has white bubbles that make an ok head, bottle has a generous amount of sediment, pour turns cloudy towards the bottom of the bottle, left some lacing on the glass, initial aroma is sweet that reminds me of a cake mix with some malt sweetness (if you do not pour the sediment), afterwards, the sweetness loses its cake touch, some wheat aroma with real faint smoke phenols in the background, some citrus, flavor of wheat, some sweet in the drink but there is more citrus sour that lasts to the finish, taste better when cold, some pepper on the tongue at the finish, has a lingering sourness and a fine hop bite at the finish to, mouth feel is medium or a little less. Not real interesting, pretty simple drink, I thought the first bottle was better, more flavor and aroma, and I do not remember the smoke phenols, I need to try another bottle.

Very cloudy, golden yellow in color. Tiny white head that faded fast. Aroma is yeasty, yet sweet. Light, thin body that is easy to drink. Good summer beer.

I wasn’t too impressed with the look of this one. A pretty small head an a faint, pilsner like look. I like a nice cloudy wheat. Then came the aroma. It was very nice with traces of lemon and grains. The flavor was nice as well. A lot of citrus. It sat pretty good on the palate again with the citrus but not enough fruity body.

On tap at Jax Fifth Avenue (Orlando, FL). Pours a cloudy bright yellow with with bright white head that diminishes quickly to nothing. Aroma is of yeast, bread, wet dog, hint of citrus. Flavor was not very good on this pour with notes sour wet hay, vegetables, some lemon. Generally watery mouthfeel with a sour finish.

Appearance: Pours a clear, golden body with a small, though dense, white head. Smell: Mild aroma smelling softly of wheat and lemons with a slight underlying note of yeast. Taste: Pale, wheat malts with a tiny pop of sugared sweetness. Taste of lemon-flavored candy. Very minor, spicy hops and bitterness. Sip of cool, clean water. Hint of yeast. Lightly wheaty finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Just a light, lightly sweet, something wheaty beer, though it’s a fine quaffer for hot summertime Atlanta drinking.

Draft from Jax Fifth Avenue. Pours a cloudy yellow with an aroma of bread, banana, and some wet hay. The flavor is mostly wet hay with notes of corn. The finish is flavored of straw and some dry flavor. After some other wheat beers, not my favorite.

Nice blonde ale. Very strong flavor of banana and tropical fruit. Good for a wheat. Sampled at the St. Pete Florida Craft Beer Fest.
