COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed with 50% malted wheat, this is an essentially crisp refreshing beer, while still retaining a hearty malt flavor with a slightly sweet, slight (not bitter) hoppy finish. Whistlepin Wheat won the Silver Medal at the 1994 Great American Beer Festival. It is a summer favorite with a slice of lemon.

12oz bottle-A nice tasting American wheat with no overpowering flavors. Not trying to be something it wasn’t.

Panzuriel (1080) - Westerville, Ohio, USA - MAR 24, 2003

Nice full wheat beer with good malt. Not any frills. Very solid if not terribly special beer. Atypical of the style. I guess that is why I like it.

Aubrey (3193) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - JUN 4, 2000

Soft, sweet, and caramely. Finishes light, although a little cloying. You’ll have to add your own lemon wedge too - no lemon, orange, or coriander was very detectable.
