COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This refreshing golden ale will quench your thirst and satisfy after a hard day of riding singletrack or slaving on the job. It is brewed with malted wheat, orange blossom honey, and a dose of coriander and orange peel. Light bodied and dry with a touch of honey sweetness and a floral bouquet, Broken Spoke is easy to drink and finishes light.

I barely gave this one the time of day. Hazy pale. Husky and honeyish. A bit of grainy tartness late.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a thick white head. Aroma of honey sweetness with wheat notes. Flavor of bready malt with a hint of honey sweetness but mostly bready notes, some light spices. Good stuff, this was one of the better wheat ales. 7/4/7/4/14 [3.6/5]

Reviewed from notes. On tap at the brewpub in August 2009. Pours a cloudy yellow color that is nearly opaque. White head that is initially a few fingers high leaves some pretty good lacing. Nose brings some light citrus notes, faint sweetness, and a bit of wheat. The taste is a bit of orange and lemon along with wheat. Good thin mouthfeel with nice carbonation; a pretty drinkable summer brew. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 11-08-2010

Not bad. Smell is light. Color is dark-golden. Taste is slight honey, american crystal, wheat malts with a little bready taste. A little citrus, and sweetness. Overall not bad, decent
