Key West Southernmost Wheat

Hazy golden color, thick initial fluffy white head with some retention. Aroma is malty and wheaty with hints of citrus and yeast. Flavors are yeast, banana, as well as some spices. This is a bit basic but very refreshing and pretty good on a hot Florida day. It was better than I thought it would be.

12 oz bottle

Thakns to daknole for sending a large variety of fruity wheat beers. This one wasn’t bad but simply average at best. My expectations are never very high with releases like this. Even so the Southernmost Wheat struggled to meet them.

Aroma / Appearance - The cloudy orange body appeared to be going for the Belgian angle. Unfortunately the aroma fell short - orange degreaser, white pepper and key lime pie were not sufficient to give it a decent punch. The only reason it gets above average is that it was a dense combination.

Flavor / Palate - The lime aspect dominated the pepper. Even so it was weak after two seconds time. Orange, cloves and wheat melded in a warm aftertaste. Overall this was an average somewhat safe play. Hopefully the other releases from Florida Beer are better. If not I will opt to pass on them whenever I see them in the future.

bottle 12 oz. Pours a very hazy yellow with a large whiteish head. Nose is for sure lemon and malt. Taste is wheat, lime, and spice. Palate is somewhat flat.

Bottle from Total Wine(Ft Laud). Pours a yellowish orange color, a tad cloudy with a white head...not much lacing. Aromas are interesting...wheat, yeast, tartness, citrus and maybe some spices. Flavor is somewhat tangy...not sure I can taste the key lime, but the wheat is evident. Refreshing, but not world class.

12 oz bottle from Total Wine (Tampa, FL). Pours a bright hazy yellow with a thin white head that settles rapidly. Little lacing. Aroma is wheat, bread, yeast, sour fruit, hint of pear, tangy citrus, and banana. Flavor is wheaty and bready with notes of citrus and sour fruit. Generally watery mouthfeel with a slight bitterness on finish.
