Calumet Wheat

Brewed by Rowlands Calumet Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Chilton, Wisconsin USA

Serve in Shaker, Weizen

Very pretty golden color. Taste is sort of bland, but the aftertaste makes you want more. Another great beer from Calumet.

This beer is just plain good. It’s very smooth and never leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. The appearance is very beautiful. It has a cloudy charachteristic to it. Once again Rowland’s saves the day with the half gallon.

THIS BEER IS VERY EASY TO DRINK.

A beer with few hops, but a real nice malty definition, a good moderate aftertaste common of a wheat beer. Overall: a good beer to drink in half gallon jugs and not be afraid to get to tanked

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

different than most wheats, this one is not something that would benefit with citrus addition. Much darker than most wheats I’ve seen. Cloudy copper brew with a THICK off white, lumpy head. Lots of malt, of course. Caramel and more caramel. So Smooth and creamy, but cleans off the palate so well. This is a problem because the beer’s tendency to disappear is increased multifold times. A wheat lager, pretty cool, yet it was unfamiliar territory. Not your usual citrucy, clovey wheat, but a distinctively different and unique cretion. Oh yeah, and it’s really good too!

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.

This was a darker orange color than you would expect in a wheat. Both bitter and sweet, but without the strong citrus flavor that you usually find in this style. A nice surprise.
