3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is faint, sweet grain. Taste is sweet grain, honey? Mild flat hops. OK carbonation.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from D&J Liquor in St. Louis, MO. Pours a light amber color with a slight white head. Aroma is dusty and grainy. Near medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is a bit of light stone fruit, a touch of citrus, and some breadiness. It’s interesting, and likely good with summer grilling.
2.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Lightly hazy, straw-colored ale with a very small, fizzy, white head. The nose is grassy and doughy. Lemony and earthy. A whisper of green apple. The flavor is very well-balanced, but just a hint on the sweet side... if I were to get nitpicky. Very light-bodied with a fizzy mouthfeel. Short, crisp finish. Refreshing on a hot, humid day, I would imagine. Lawnmower beer. Thanks to my client, Scott Jackson, for the bottle.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured a hazy yelloe with a moderate frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate sour citrus aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Medium sweet citrus flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of short duration. Worth trying once.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear yellow body and a still head. Weak carbonation, slightly sweet wheat and malt syrup flavor. Has a definite cheap house character, like cheap extract homebrew, but it does redeem itself somewhat with a sweet lemongrass flavor in the finish. Not the ideal summer beer, but it works.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Light gold with a thin white head. Thin lacing. Malty and hoppy aromas. Mild citrus flavor with a buttery feel. Mild refreshing palate.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells toasty and earthy. Tastes of citrus, some light earthy hints. No real wheat presence in this one. Bland.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
I liked this one better than most. Bottle from Capone’s, consumed under my deck umbrella on an 80 degree day. Clear medium gold color with 1-finger white head that lasts for awhile. Aroma of pale malt, apricot, hopcitrus. Tastes pale malty, with mild honey, citrus, and hop notes. Nothing outstanding here, but I don’t expect wheat beers to knock me on my ass with technical or innovative brewing techniques. For what this is, it is a refreshing summer brew, and that’s all I need it to be.
