Breckenridge SummerBright Ale

Brewed by Breckenridge Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Denver, Colorado USA

Bottle. Pours a lightly hazy pale gold with a thin white head. Light yeast and a touch of musk, a bit sweet. Light sour apple, grain, muddled, and sweet with a touch of corn juice. Finishes up with a bit of bitterness and touch more musky wheat.

From an old rating note: 12oz bottle. Hazy gold pour with a small white head. Grainy wheat, citrus, pear and mild malts. Grainy malt taste with hints of floral and spice. Light drinking here.

Just a hiiiiint of wheat on the nose and on the palate. Crisp beer, but there’s not enough flavor here to be a real gateway drug for the miller-bud-coors types to start to get into real flavorful beers. Goes downs soft on the finish, but not much else to recommend it.

Golden yellow with a hint of amber. Thick white head that leaves a slight foam on the surface. Good retention and lacing. Lime, orange, grass. Hops and a little bit of yeast. Tangy citrus flavors, mostly lemon/lime attack first. Followed by a bland sweetness and some light wheat notes. It’s got an okay body, but the citrusy flavor somehow seems to cut into what might have been a decent thing. Unimpressive. Don’t think I’ll try this one again for a couple seasons.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow golden with a medium frothy white head that leaves decent spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a light wheat and citrus. Thin mouthfeel with a light bitter hops and citrus. Easy to drink, a decent wheat from Breckenridge.

Very good, awesome beer. Perfect taste, nice and light. Not just a summer ale, great for any time of the year, especially on a cold and snowy day. Get it if you can!

Not a big fan of these American Wheat thangs. Just the wheat aroma, no subtleties, i.e. no bouquet, just aroma. Somewhat tangy, citrusy palate is a tiny bit interesting. Okay. By the way this was clear yellow, on the pale side.

Pours a rather typical clear straw yellow with a thick but not persistent white head. Aroma is fairly strong, crisp and malty with a yeasty undertone. Flavor is about average, malty and slightly fruity but nothing special. Texture is smooth, a little tingly and a tiny bit on the watery side. Still, it was a nice bit of sunshine on a nasty rainy day.
