Imbibed in December 2002. Made with Patagonia wheat. Aroma of wheat and slight yeastiness. Poured a slightly cloudy yellow gold with a thick white head. Initially a light hoppy flavor, followed by wheat with an acidic twang.

A light, wheaty taste that seems more like a wheat beer. A touch of citrus and sof carbonation. ON tap at El Bolson beer garden.

A hazy pale yellow beer with a huge white head. aroma is citric. Taste is yeast and citric. Some spiciness and bubblegum.

The first wheat beer I tried. Fairly good, still strange enough for the untrained taste. A bit yeasty but leaves a nice fresh bread taste in your mouth after drinking.

Thanks to El Gordo for bringing this beer back with him from Argentina--Golden, hazy body with a small soapy white head. Citrus lemon nose. Sweet, bubblegum lemon flavor. Finished quite well. Tres bien!

Bottle conditioned, poured a cloudy dark amber with a bubbly head. Grapefruit and sweet bubblegum in the aroma. Quite a smooth palate, though a little watery. Grapefruit again in the flavour.

Appearance: clear blond color, semi-turbid. Medium head, white color, persistent and consistent. Aroma: mainly the characteristic peppery yeast of “Cervecería Artesanal el Bolsón”; moreover the wheat. Low hoppy; citric-fruity of oranges and lemons. Hot spicy-fruity of paprika. Flavor: sweetness of wheat and malty; fresh and citric fruitiness of lemon and green apples. Highly yeasty, with the peppery touch of this brewer. Low hoppy, high sweet. Palate: light body, semi-oily texture. Low carbonation. Fresh, rare yeasty, unbalanced sweet-dryness.

El Bolsón Trigo Patagónico. Bottle. Hazy pale yellow body. Nice moderate aroma of wheat and malt. Good initial flavour of yeast and wheat with a good moderate dry wheat finish.

Hazy blonde with a thick white head, Rather surprising aroma of barnyard and lactic acid. In mouth, a citrussy malt, with light lemon coughdrop, some gueuze caracter. Well, it may have been a decent gueuze, but this is a weizen. Bought at La Anonima, Calafate, 3.99$AR. May 2006.

Sweet, malty and yeasty. A fine, if unusual, wheat brew that’s not entirely like other hefeweizens. The El Bolson line is available at most large grocery stores in Buenos Aires.

Bottled. Very pale yellow and hazy. Neutral aroma. Light bodied, dry, crisp and mild. Refreshing, but discrete take on a witbier.
