Buckner Honey Wheat

Brewed by Buckner Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Cape Girardeau, Missouri USA

Serve in Shaker, Weizen

Tap - Dark yellow, cloudy color, light fairly refreshing flavor, a little flat bot not bad

A very light clear golden color with no head and served with a lemon. Mild wheat aroma with a lemon and light sweetness from the honey (I guess). Wheat is in the flavor as well as some light citrus and finishes with a slight sourness. Overall the flavor is okay but there is NO density to it and it is completely missing they yeast that would really make this a decent beer. Not one I would have again.

Tasted 8/6/2007. Ragsdale’s bar in the basement of the brewery. Filtered with a pale golden hue. Layer of white head. Sweet clover honey citrus aromas. Light bodied and super smooth. This is all night smoothness. Light candy honey malts. Little to no bitterness. Slight effervescence. The palate is quite similar from start to finish. Light and modest. But still drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear golden in color. Pronounced honey aroma and strong honey flavor. Sweet, but crisp finish. Fine lacing remains in the glass. Not very much wheat or hop flavors at all.

Light and golden in the glass with some lacing. Gentle, grassy wheat notes and some yeast. Honey is more prominent in the taste than the aroma. A bit thin on the tongue with a somewhat crisp finish. Lots of carbonation. Served with a lemon on the rim of the glass, which I discarded.
