Commercial Description:
We figured the workers living in Williamsville, known as Ragtown or Hell's Hole, would have appreciated a few of these refreshing brews. A thirst-quenching wheat beer, made with two-row brewers malt and heaps of white wheat malt. It is hopped with Liberty and the acclaimed Oregon Chinook aroma hops. If you haven't tried this one, you haven't tried the most popular beer brewed in Boulder City.

It has a lot of citrus bite, but lacks the yeast and spice complexity of a good hefe. As with all of their beer, very cloudy, served with a huge orange wedge, and maybe a bit on the cold side. Less malt, more banana and clove would be appreciated.

Sample at the brewpub, served with a lemon. Pours a hazed orange-yellow color with a minimal white head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing is evident. Aroma of wheat with some zesty lemon and citrus in the background. Light, clean body with flavors of mild wheat and citrus as well as a touch of yeast. The finish is citrusy with a touch of hops left over. Barely average overall.

Draft in Boulder City. Just an odd attempt at a german hefe. not to the type at all from the very still and murky appearance to the boring flavor. No spice, no ester, no nothin’ really.

draft at the brewpub - This brew is hazy yellow and has a light, citrus and yeast aroma. It tastes of wheat, a little yeast, light citrus, and some good bitterness. I don’t see anyone else mentioning the latter, so I wonder if they’ve changed their recipe. It’s light bodied and has a dry finish.

...I was disappointed in this beer, but it is hard to replicate. Too watery, no head, no creamy consistency from the wheat malt. I even had two oranges, and no citrus or clove notes other than the orange. They need to re-analyze their recipe.
