Dundee Wheat Beer

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

Bottle: Poured a yellow color with not much head. The aroma was malts and yeast. The flavor was weak, some yeast and citrus. Mostly malts and unbalanced flavor. Overall, not impressed.

Pours a slightly hazy caramel-amber with virtually no head. Smells a tad grassy. Smooth in the mouth and carries a little bit of a sweet caramel flavor. There’s also a little bit of an aftertaste. It’s not bad but nothing special.

JW Dundee’s Hefeweizen is a slightly cloudy, very sparkling light golden ale with a thin white head that leaves nice lacing. It has a very fresh aroma that seems to come mostly from the hops. It’s citrusy with a little bit of biscuit. It is pretty light bodied, very crisp and quite smooth. The flavor is very mellow, but bright and lemony. It’s a total American Wheat-- hardly a Hefeweizen. There is a little bitterness at the end of the taste and the hops match the flavor of the wheat very well. It’s very refreshing!

Overally citrused to cover up the fact that it is empty, stripped , denied of its hefe heritage no clove, no wheat , no nuthin....the color is all it has going for it...a nice honey apperance....but thats it!!

Nose: malty, sugarwheat and banana. Pours a golden colour beer. Some carbonation, maltybanana, bit of wheat. Artificial sweet taste that is off-putting.

sampler- a nice example of the style- smooth, easy drinking, with some esters going on as well as that characteristic american wheat yeasty flavor.

Pours a pale cloudy yellow with a fairly thick weizen head. No detectable wheat or yeast in the aroma; maybe a little lemon zest. Taste is refreshing, but not in a weizen way. Taste is more like a pale wheat ale. It gets the job done on a hot day, but it’s not a weizen.

Grainy amber color with quick diminishing head. Well carbonated. Earthy malt aroma hints of pepper. Light citrus Not much hop character. Malt flavor is a little overwhelming needs a grain bite, a little more crisp.
