Jasper Ridge Ropes Golden Wheat

Brewed by Jasper Ridge Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Ishpeming, Michigan USA

On draught at the brewpub in Ishpeming, Northern Michigan. Pours a cloudy golden pale colored brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind some minimal lacing. Aroma of golden grain malt with wheat, a touch of citrus and a touch of lemon. Taste is light bodied, crisp, with some golden grain malt and a touch of citrus. Finish is semi-dry, crisp with a clean cut aftertaste with very little bitterness.

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy yellow body, lacking the brownish tones the blueberry and raspberry extracts give to the fruit versions. Light tangy nose with wet hay (and semi-dirty socks) and light fermented fruits. Spicy, bready body, ester-forward but light, crisply carbonated. Subtle fruity sweetness. Mundane.

On tap at the brewpub, Ishpeming MI. Straw colour with a very slight haze. Incomplete white head. Not much in the way of aroma. Subtle citrus flavour (it was served with a slice of lemon although at least that was just on the side of the glass not floating in the beer). Clean and refreshing mouthfeel. Not a great style but this is a decent enough example. Not much else to say.

Hazy Yellow Color with White Head. Heavy Mouthfeel. Alot of Lemon/Citrus Notes. Overall with a Light Dry Wheat Aftertaste. Nice Lawnmower Brew.

Festival tap: Candy-like sweetness, like a sweet tart. Thin bodied, just too dominated by the sweetness. Some lemon and cherry.

Color is somewhat pale light yellow and diluted with a thin foamy head, leaves no lace. Smell is very faint of musty dust with a lemon and sweet honey note. Taste is very wheatly sweet and lemony, vey mellow and easy. Leaves lots of lemon-like tartness and is a bit watery. Feel is light bodied for sure, watered down. Its their top seller, and I see why, its a lighter fare which compares to most macro lights.
