Kalamazoo American Wheat

From the 12 oz bottle it poured a slightly hazed golden body with a modest white head that laced the glass nicely. It had an aroma of buttered wheat flakes, wet grasses, and citrus peel. Tasted much the same although the bitter element seemed a bit confused, first grassy, then lemony, then back again. Pretty decent lawnmower beer.

cloudy dark golden with medium head. Light citrus and honey malt aroma. Nice balance of pronounced wheat, mild bitterness and citrus. Carbonation is on the heavy side. Enjoyable for sure.

Batch 8564. Pours a cloudy, glowing, golden-straw color with a huge, foamy, off-white head. The froth settles slowly to a thin film, leaving thick, patchy globs of lacing all the way down the glass. The aroma is light and crisp, with notes of freshly cut wheat, honey, lemon rind, and a faint hint of cinnamon. Flavors are well balanced and light. The dry wheat grains are sweetened with just a touch of honey, while floral and lemony hops lend countering bitterness. The finish is lightly sweet and clean. Substantial but not overbearing, the body shows balanced carbonation and laid back drinkability. Overall, this is a solid summertime brew, and a great ambassador for and underrepresented style.

Pours from the bottle a nice cloudy orange with a solid white head that leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is very faint of wheat and citrus. Flavor tastes like fresh squeeze orange juice with a bit of zest in there to bitter mixed with wheat and ends with a quite yeasty flavor. Pretty good beer and glad that Bell’s is back in IL finally.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with a nice white head. Aroma is wheat, lemon, orange and sweet malt. Flavor is wheat and citrusy with lemon and orange. A nice light and refreshing wheat beer with a touch of sweetness. Not really my thing but not bad for summer wheat beer.
