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.

Hazy orange. Aroma is a bit rank - water and soggy hops. Taste starts a bit acidic and tangy, then mellows. Last second sweetness before the overwhelming blandness kicks in. Light in body and character.

vikingguy (456) - Chaska, Minnesota, USA - JUN 29, 2010

Pours a cloudy orange color with foamy white head; lots of floating sediment. Aromatic fruity/spicy aroma typical of a belgian wheat. Taste is corriander, orange, clove and some bitter-floral hops. As far as belgian wheats go, this is pretty average...nothing special but not bad. Drinkable, decent taste, a little thin.

FROTHINGSLOSH (3205) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 10, 2010

I rated this one a while ago when it was being contract brewed at LaCrosse - not sure why the rating was deleted but I found my notes. Sampled from a 24 oz can this beer poured a very cloudy orange color with a huge yellow-white head. The aroma was sweet, peppery and musty with a fairly strong citrus element. The flavor was sweet and tangy citrus with light undertones of cardboard, pepper and must. The finish was dryish musty citrus. Fairly good body. Solid.

Trev (1424) - Lakeville, Minnesota, USA - JAN 8, 2010

gold pour, thin head that fades fast. Aroma is corriander spice and banana, some citrus and musty wheat malt; light lingering bubblegum tones as well. Flavour was a bit of a letdown after that. Some banana and musty wheat and corn, some light spice.

drpimento (1695) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 1, 2010

Had this can for a while; over a year I think. I suspect it’s a lager, but could be wrong. I was kind of apprehensive about drinking it, but it’s really not that bad. Poured with a nice, foamy, frothy white head that mostly settled down to a thin layer with a little lace. Color is a clear shiny brass with a little bit of particles settling out. Aroma was a pleasant spicy Belgian wit. Flavor was a little less impressive with kind of a sweet soda pop cast. Body and carbonation are ok. Finish is like flavor and so not too great.

pintocb (589) - Darsville, Georgia, USA - DEC 31, 2009

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

Butters (2843) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - OCT 3, 2009

Can pours a very clear pale gold with quick fading, small effervescent white head. Nose is weak alcohol and Herbal Essence™ shampoo. Flavor is pretty shit fake corny sweet medicinal crap. I do like beers coming in a can, and cool name, but this beer is pretty bad.

undsioux7 (745) - Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA - SEP 27, 2009

Pours deep yellow with a big white head that dissapates to nothing. Maybe, and I say maybe some orange and corriander in the aroma, but less in the flavor. Its not really bad and very drinkable, but there is not much going on.
