Boulder Beer Sweaty Betty Blonde

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

On draft at Denver Airport. Pours a golden yellow color with a white head. It has the classic wheat taste with a hind of fruitiness to it. This is a decent attempt at a Hefewiezen - nothing special, but not bad.

I’m a little more impressed than my ratebeer comrades on this beer. The pour is hazy yellow with a big fluffy head. Taste has the spice and wheat you’d expect. Very easy to down quite a few on a hot summer night.

Bottle. Pours a blonde pale ale. Aroma is wheat some spicy yeast and some sweet malt. Not much in the way of hops or etoh. pretty basic.

Quite tasty, kind of salty like (from Betty’s sweat), good with food and pleasant and light.

From a bottle.pours very clear yellow. very average brew. Notes of wheat, spice and yeast in the taste and not much else.

Draught at Circa 5/23/08. Very sour and tangy, but not in an unpleasant way. Not sure whether this is seasonal or not, but I love drinking it in the summer and would hate it any other time of year.

Bottle. Pours a very cloudy blonde color with a white head. Aroma is of wheat and bananas. Taste is much of the same, has a bit of an acrid finish, but not bad overall.

Smells like wheat ale. Very blonde in color, and very clear or transparent. There is a little bit of a grassy aroma. Not very aromatic, but still a decent smell for a blonde ale. Smells heavily of wheat and yeast. There is not much citrus to speak of, but the wheat smell is overwhelming. If this is a wheat ale the color is too transparent. I do not appreciate that. The beer has a nice head that sticks around for a while. There is a very nice wheat and yeast taste, but again the citrus flavor is just not there. The beer is of an average palate. This beer just lacks the nuances of a good wheat ale. I like the yeast and the wheat, but beyond that there is nothing here. Overall, a very middle of the road type of beer.
