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.

A hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, a smooth lemony banana with light cloves. In mouth, a rather chalky example of a wit with some light acidic points, banana malt, a bit short. On tap at the Istmus Beer and Cheese, Jan 21 2012.

12oz bottle. Cloudy witbier yellow a thin white head. Aroma of coriander, yeast and toasted malt. Taste of coriander, lemon and toasted malt. Flavors overwhelmed by the heavy, fizzy carbonation . Finishes up dry. This tastes like an "experimental" beer that should not have gone to the market.

Poured from a bottle to a pint nice head amber color Smells tart, spicy very complex Taste is amazing. Very yeast dominated tartness gives way to the orange and corriander High carbonatoin fits well I really loved this beer. Extremely complex refreshing

LetsGoState (383) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 11, 2012
Appearance is a medium white head with a hazy orange color. Aroma is some wheat and citrus. Taste was mostly all wheat, but pretty bland. Overall not a great example of the style.

It has the spices and fruit of a witbier, relatively thin in flavor and body though. Passable.

12 ounce bottle, that poured a dark hazy yellow with a thick white head. aromas of slight citrus, some spicy clove and a touch of banana. Taste follows the aroma, and one doesn’t overpower each other with a side of bread. A decent wheat bear.

This is very mediocre, even for a Belgian wheat. Not a whole lot of body to this.

A true Wheat Beer. Great scent, sharp flavor, and a very filling, satisfying drink.

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

12 oz. bottle. $1.50 loose @ Woodman’s. So where’s this can they keep talking about? Well, poured a deep yellow with red tinges before the yeast at the bottom slipped in. Head dissipates quickly. Slightly tart and lemony smell. Taste kind of just sits there. It’s not bad, but why put your own name on this "product?"
