Crabtree Twisted Creek Wheat

Brewed by Crabtree Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Greeley, Colorado USA

Bottle pours cloudy yellow with a huge white head Ƒ/2-1/3 of the glass with a proper pour and well chilled bottle). Aroma is bananas, clove and wheat. Flavor is typical hefe. Bananas, cloves, a little lemon, and wheat. This beer to me was over carbonated.

A simple wheat ale, sweeter than more but nothing substantial. A little citrus.

Twisted Creek pours a traditional cloudy dark yellow and had a decent sized white head on it. The head leaves a nice small lacing on the side of the glass. It has the distinct wheat aroma, somewhat funky and with a mild citrus overtone. The taste is very smooth. I can see why folks at the Fort Collins beer fest liked this. Goes down easy on a hot day. It has a slightly sweet taste and had a mild carbonation to the mouth feel. I’m not much of a big wheat beer drinker, but this one struck me as something I could get used to. The aroma seemed to change a bit as it warmed. From funky to slightly lemony. I enjoyed every drop of it. The taste is better than the smell but still worthy of your consideration.

bottle. golden/orange pour with thin head. aroma of wheat, yeast, banana and clove. flavor is mild and refreshing. sweet lemon, banana, light yeast and spice. fresh clean wheat. very enjoyable.

Cloudy orange color with a smaller foam. Nice purity in the nose which shows a lot of hearty wheat and malt characteristics. Also some notes of banana and clove. Flavor is really spot on, rich and hearty for the style. Lots of yeast character and true weizen notes. Banana, vanilla, clove, spice. Even a great mouth feel. An impressive hefeweizen.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber with a creamy white head that retains and laces the glass.

The aroma is traditional hefe - yeasty bananas and cloves with some wheaty malts.

The flavor is sweet and spiced bananas with some yeast funk leading to a light hop finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some sharp carbonation.

Overall, a decent hefe (not my favorite style). It is pretty similar to the Haystack by Lefthand, but a tad more adventurous.

This has a good German-style aroma and is very cloudy yellow orange. The flavor is neally nice too, not icky or funky, almost with some faint heaviness to it. It finishes a little poorly, but I was much impressed after the bad brown.

Bomber poured a clear dark gold with a disapatinmg white head. Aromas of wheat, light banana and a hint of spice. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of wheat and light fruitiness with a crisp dry finish.
