Boulder Beer Sweaty Betty Blonde

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

Appealing cloudy straw-wheat banana yellow. Totally different than my expectation. Described as a "blond ale" at the Barking Dog. This was actually a mild and refreshing german style wheat. Easy aroma of wheat tart and clove. Some banana and clove flavors round out a tart, but palatable wheatiness. Refreshing and enjoyable

bottle. A vigorous pour of a "wheat beer" into an oversized glass yields... less than an inch of fizzy thin off white head on top of a pale yellow brew. Heavy clove aromas, with some wet grainy wheat bread. Flavors do improve a bit... sharp citrus lemon and clove notes, dry tart sweetness. A bit watery on the palate, though flavors come off crisp enough without much finish. Not bad, but not so good either.

This was poured from on tap. Came to the table cloudy golden in color and bearing a small white head. Aroma was of citrus and wheat. The flavor matched the aroma, lemon, strong spice flavor and a bit of a yeasty flavor in there as well. The density of the beer doesn’t feel right in the mouth and the lemon/spice flavor is quite overpowering compared to the other flavors present. Don’t think I will have this offering any time soon.

I rate this, #499, in honor of RateBeer’s own blindeyedbetty, in the belief that she lives up to the kind of name and labeling we get for this: "Irresistable. Flirtatious. Aromatic. Soft. Supple. Unavoidable. . . ." :-)

pours a pale gold color with a head that disappears into a white ring around the top. taste is of wheat and has a lemon after taste. very refreshing. I would purchase this again for drinking at a party.

Clear light golden pour with a full white fluffy head. Aroma is strong of floral characters and coriander. Flavor doesn’t quite live up to the aroma but does have quite a bit of floral character with a touch of coriander. Not a lot o carbonation. Decent refreshing brew. May buy for a lawnmower beer.

Light as is the style. Good summer type beer. Some variable spice in the nose and initial taste, this did not linger. I agree with EithCubes that alcohol is a little too high with the light flavor.

Bottle. Lemon citrus nose with a big dose of wheat, some tangy clove and tart apple, Hazy bright yellow pour with an ephemeral beige head - after a while it starts to resemble apple juice. Taste is all about the wheat and the lemon, with a bit of chalky clove and nice residual yeastiness. Very crisp and refreshing medium body. A bit too much alcohol, otherwise a superb brew for summer.
