Fourth stop during Wisconsin Trip #2 and one of 11 brews offered at this small town brewpub. Pours a hazy light coppery amber with a heavy off-white foam head. Very nice lacing. Aroma has malted wheat, caramel, with a touch of citrus. Taste is smooth and not so much yeast and gritty wheat malt compared to other weisens. Don’t even think of placing a lemon slice with this one. It does not need one.

Distinctive spiciness to Bob’s wheat. Nutmeg? Banana bread? Poured hazy dark straw. Maltiest wheat around. Didn’t taste much in the way of citrus. Different, which is always good.

Caramelized malt flavor, not much else. Nutty finish. An odd wheat to be sure.

The beer pours to an amber bronze colored body with a white head. The aroma is caramelized wheat. The flavor didn’t come off as wheaty, however. More caramelly, cereal, and bready than like most wheats. The palate is oddly creamy for a wheat beer.

Translucent copper with white rungs. Some very light wafts of wheat, but this aroma is pretty muted. Flavor is acidic and astringent, sluicing at the corners of the tongue. Highly citric like lemon juice marinade and a dinner roll off to the side that got caught up in the commotion. Some detectible rye and heavier that usual hopping.

Amber color. Its a dark wheat flavor. Sweet spicy cereal... not like most other wheat beers I’ve had.

Ok, so this beer was late in the night, thus I really don’t remember a lot about it other then it was good.

Golden body with medium off-white head. Aroma is light wheat, lightly sweet. Taste is mild sweet up front, turns decent bitter (herbal). Some spicy too. Light/medium body.
