COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Horny Goat Wheat is a Belgian-Style white beer, craft brewed with wheat, malted barley, hops and a bit of orange peel and coriander. It’s natural haze from yeast and wheat make it a classic to be enjoyed on its own, or with a slice of orange. Horny Goat Wheat loves big cans... those little 12 ounce bottles aren’t enough beer, and cans fully protect the beer from light and oxygen, producing a new level of fresh that you won’t find out of a bottle. Cans are also easier to recycle and better for the environment... as an ecologist if you don’t believe the brainiacs at Horny Goat.

One pint can. The innuendos didn’t hit me at first, sure "horny goat", but on the box we get this: "cans...the bigger the better!" and "why choose our BIG cans?" Let’s not forget on the can" "horny goat loves big cans." By the way, a can can sometimes mean an ass, or butt, or tuchus, or booty, in the contemporary vernacular. The cartoon goat also has a constant leer. ’Cause he’s horny. Alright, let’s drink ’er. Into a Blue Moon glass, just for fun. With no orange. Huge fizz and carbonation, lightly hazed yellow appearance, huge head, leaving lace. Sweet, perfumey aroma, light spice, pronounced lemon, some orange. Nice enough. Could be fresher and brighter. In the mouth, smooth and slick...brisk and citric. Flavor swims in the mouth for a moment, then disappears. Seems like this is made for those who think Blue Moon is too thick. And then, the lemon spikes the palate with a palpable hit. Not especially pleasant...Lays flat and just putzes out at the end. Sticks in the mouth, a messy lemony...bleh...That’ll do. I had two cans the other day when I was fairly drunk, and didn’t think it sucked. Just not terribly good. Now that my mind is in better command, I’m less charitable. Paid $5.49 for a 4 pack. I’ve got to be more careful with my money... Don’t settle, folks. Say no to horny goats.

I debated whether to rate this from a sip of Shag’s, but it was so awful I know I’m never going to bring myself to buy it myself. Eww, looks like tang. WTF is a wit doing smelling like creamed corn?!? Flavor is very fusel infused, and not in a good way.

This is the worst wit I’ve had. Looks like a blonde ale. Tastes harsh and bitter. The name is worth a few points.

Cloudy yellow color. Skunky wheat aroma with faint citrus notes. Very watery body with faint metallic flavor.

Water + American Wheat Beer = really really bad combo. They seem to have mixed the two.
