Dundee Wheat Beer

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Rochester, New York USA

If I hadn’t seen he word Hefeweizen on the bottle, I would have never guessed. like having a mouthful of pennies and sourdough bread. Just funky and unappealing.

Sour, malty bread aroma eminates from this cloudy yellow brew with average looking foamy white head. Taste is lightly hopped flavored club soda.

Appearance: Pours a clear, bubbly (like a soda), golden body with a small, fizzy, white head. Smell: Very mild wheat scent but with plenty of sweetish, honeyed cereal notes. Taste: Pale maltiness, slight wheat tone and a medium sweetness present. One drop of lemon juice. Three drops of clover honey. Tremendously light hop taste and bitterness. Finishes bubbly, crisp, with a lingering sweetness. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation, though fizzy like a soda. Drinkability: Fairly far removed from a traditional hefeweizen, it’s aptly thrown under the generic "wheat ale" heading. Light, refreshing, and with a generally agreeable taste, though very, very light. If you’re looking for a wheat ale with more, well... anything, then you’d best look elsewhere.

(12oz bottle labeled "Dundee Wheat Beer" from sampler 12 at home on July 9, 2008) Healthy white frothy head, steady carbonation bubbling through a pale light orange brew. I honestly can’t smell a thing from it. Flavor is metallic (fist thing I noticed), much like Dundee’s other brews. Light citrus. Description says unfiltered, but you can’t tell by looking at it. Suppose there’s nothing to filter out. Taste slowly becoming more like a hefe, but lightly bitter. "Ideal for warmer weather"... yep, if they sold this in a can I’d be taking it on the river this Saturday. All in all, better than the last time I had this... I actually had made an ugly face at its taste.

From a JW Dundees Sampler Case. I am finding i like JW Dundees quite a bit. Scent is light/medium malt, floral-coriander,and some honey. Taste is malt, floral-coriander, honey, fi got No banana or clove

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is apricot, honey and grass. Thin body. Flavor is very similar to the aroma, honey, apricot and caramel. Not that bad.

not a bad hefe. has a nice tingling mouthfeel that turns smooth. cloudy color. i ve had alot worse hefes. and this one, though slightly unbalanced and weak. is a solid effort. wortha try.

Presentation: Poured from a 12oz bottle into my “duff beer” hefeweizen glass. It has a light hazy golden color with an off white or light beige head. The head builds up thick and slowly fades to a thinner covering. The lace is slick and sides down with the beer as I drink it. The aroma has sweet wheat and doughy malt essence along with a light, all most fruity yeast as well. The flavor has some sweet doughy malt and wheat flavors that are a bit light and thin but refreshing. The finish has a light crisp citrus edge that I like. Its body is light with a smooth creamy palate. It a nice safe flavor. Nothing is out of balance or offensive just mellow.
