COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This style of beer is classified as an American Wheat Ale, not to be confused with the German unfiltered version - Hefe Weizen. The focus is on the wheat used during the brewing process. Our version is filtered and slightly "off the beaten path" with a dry "hoppy" finish.

Bomber from Half Time. Pours amber gold with a slight white head. Mild citrus aromas over wheatiness. Med body. It’s lightly citric. somewhat wheaty, lightly astringent, and reasonably hoppy/bitter. Drinks pretty easy.

j12601 (4434) - Poughkeepsie, New York, USA - NOV 11, 2011
Bottle. Pours a clear golden amber with a faint orange tinge and a medium sized white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Soft sweet wheat on the nose, a faint hint of yeast. Medium bodied, cool grain. Grainy, with a touch of bitterness and a slight cereal quality. Soft bitter finish with more light wheat sweetness and a bit more graininess.

Pure golden color pour. Lots of carbonation produce a large head with decent lacing. Big wheat aroma. Flavor of wheat and citrus. Alittle hops at the end. Decent.

22oz - Gold liquid & off white head. Nice lace. Oranges and peeper on nose. Hoppy dryness on palate, spice of the wheat shows at end, nutty yeast finish. Best offering to date.

Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of citrus, yeast and wheat. Flavor of citrus, yeast and wheat. The body is light with a slightly oily texture and moderate carbonation. Not bad, not great either.

Bouteille de 22 oz partagée lors d’une dégustation Ratebeer Montréal chez MartinT. Arôme: Légère odeur de céréales et d’houblons. Apparence: La couleur est orangée avec une faible densité de bulle.

Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de blé en arrière goût. (Rating #2189)

Glouglouburp (4783) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 1, 2009
In short: A clean, basic, true-to-the-style but above average wheat beer. Highly drinkable.
How: Bottle 22oz. Consumed fresh soon after purchase. Tasting session with Montreal crew.
The look: Clear golden-yellow body topped by a very small white head
In long: Light nose of cereals/wheat with notes of peaches and bananas. Body is loaded with hay/wheat, light honey touch, a light lemony tartness, some garden flowers. The smooth carbonation is very fitting. There’s not a lot a brewer can do when remaining true to this style so this is a simple beer but a highly drinkable one. Above average for this simple style. Horseheads white men brewing nice Iroquois fire water.
