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.

Lots of lemon, some wheat, a little dusty yeast, and earthy hop aromas. Pours hazy light yellow with a decent fizzy head. Lots of lemon up front, soft wheat flavors, lemon and earthy bitterness in the finish. Emminently drinkable. Vibrant carbonatin. Tasty.

Bomber bottle poured into an Imperial Pint glass. Color was golden with a light white head. Smells very candy-like with hints of wheat and toffee. The first sip lead me to the conclusion I was not going to be able to finish this beer. It was overly sweet and heavy and was filling me up quickly. The complexity was juvenile and way over done with sweetness. I am sure for American Hoppy Wheat beer fans this would be a nice beer but for me it was a one and done. I enjoy some Flying Fish beers, but this one was just too sweet and heavy for Bernie.

Thin head which does not last long. Minimal carbonation. Very flowery aroma with lots of roses, herbal notes and some grass. Color is a hazy golden orange. Bitter flavor with lots of citrusy hops, some oranges, more dry italian herbal spices and some dry grass. Finishes dry and pasty. Not a very good wheat beer. Just nothing special and nothing to get excited about.

750mL Bottle: Pour is hazy gold w/ a fluffy white head which leaves a solid ring of lacing around the glass. Hops are the major player in the aroma at first. After a few minutes of settling the hops seems to oddly fade away. Leaving a more traditional wheat aroma in it’s wake. Flavor is very crisp. Citrus, yeast, a dash of hops & a bit of spice. Mouthfeel is creamy & smooth. Very good, actually, I wasn’t expecting this to be so good.

Memory is a bit hazy on this one. From a bottle, poured a spritzy, super clear gold with a fluffy white head. Mild aroma of orange, wheat, light hop woodsiness. Extremely clean in the mouth. As I said at the time, it is "without blemish." Not extraordinary, but a great dry, fruity wheat character heavy on the orange, spritzy in the mouth. Enjoyed this.

Bottle shared by Shawn: Hazy golden hue with small fading head. The aroma has notes of twangy grapefruit, mango, lemongrass, biscuity malts, and wheat husks. The taste is moderately hoppy and twangy with a wheat and yeast driven background. The mouth feel is lively and refreshing, dry finish. A nice hoppy version of an American Wheat but not Gumballhead.
