COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We’ve now hit our second stop on our multi-year trip to explore through beer all that is New Jersey. Exit 11. Its confluence of highways ensures that you can get there from here. So we chose a beer that celebrates a confluence of styles. We looked to Germany and its wheat beers, but then we used a classic English ale yeast. A trio of Pacific Northwest hops chime in to creates refreshing American wheat with a bit of a hop bite. Exit 11 is brewed with 50 % Belgian pale malt and 50 % white wheat. It’s hopped with Columbus, Palisade, and Amarillo hops. We then dry hop it with more than a pound per barrel of Amarillo hops for a bouquet reminiscent of tangerines and apricots. A perfect beer to enjoy when you get where you’re going.

Draft at the Pour House. Pours a hazy golden orange color with a one finger frothy white foam cap that slowly fades into a lasting ring.  Streaks of lacing left behind.   Floral hop aroma with some zesty spice, citrus rind and bready yeast.  Hints of pepper, clove, banana and apple. Medium bodied but on the fuller end with a blast of dry, earthy hops up front that provides bitterness that lingers into a slight dry finish.  Underneath the hops the wheat beer elements are there but they’re overpowered.  Lots of bready yeast with only subtle spice and light fruit.  Faint hints of pepper with a creamy mouthfeel along with some apple and banana.  An interesting idea but too hoppy for my liking making it one dimensional.

Gabf. A touch hazy but quite clear, yellow appearance. Somewhat earthy hoppy, light lemon citrusy aroma. Fairly earthy, organic hoppy, citrusy, wheat malty flavor.

On tap a UJ’s. Pours light golden blond with white head. Aroma of wheat, pine, citrus. Moderately bitter. Basically, the description is accurate, hoppy wheat beer. A bit lighter on the palate than an IPA.

GuilTTy (686) - Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA - AUG 7, 2011
On tap at the Pourhouse. Hazy sunshine yellow with a a medium dirty white head. Restrained citrus aroma with a little wisp of yeast. Mix of herbal, citrus and restrained toasted malt flavors with trailing bubblegum and metallic coppery notes. Interesting, creamy texture and a mildly bitter, mostly dry finish. On OK brew but not entirely focused.

On tap at Capone’s during Philly Beer Week. Pours a light hazy yellow. Aroma is of citrus. Taste of vanilla at the start. Subtle build of tart hops in the middle ending with a combination reminiscent of lemon meringue.
