COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Wheat Monkey Ale captures the fresh, unfiltered spontaneity of our brewers’ creativity. Crisp and refreshing year-round, this American Wheat Ale pours a lazy, hazy golden color. Its large, white, foamy head can be attributed to the generous amount of malted white wheat added to the mash. The aroma is enhanced by our fruity house ale yeast and its fresh baked bread flavors are perfectly balanced with a Cascade hop addition.

This is ranked a little low by my estimation. This isn’t the most unqiue wheat I ever had but it’s a solid example of the style. Nicely fruity without being to easty. Very drinkable and I would gladly have another bottle of it.

Pours light light golden with minimal malt on the notes. Overall a weak beer but is very easy to drink and is quite refreshing

12oz bottle poured into glass. Went for this beer because I’ve yet to try it. Very bland and blah. Nothing exciting happening here. I’d definitely pass next time.

Goes down easy. It doesn’t have a lot of flavor. But you can taste a little bit of the wheat. Other than that it tastes kinda watered down. Its a chill beer. One for the summer that you can drink nonstop all fay.

andrewturba (480) - Alberta, CANADA - MAY 16, 2013
Pours an almost clear straw yellow with a thin bit of foam on top. Weird there isn’t more sediment or cloudiness from an unfiltered wheat beer. Aroma is not a big one but whats there seems to be some light fruity esters, bready, and grass. Flavour is bready, light lemon, bit of a creamy mouth feel and a faint bitterness you could miss if you weren’t paying attention. Easily drinkable but not very memorable.

Drank from a bottle at municipal. Good wheat beer. Apricot and fruity taste. Hate the style but like this one

I liked this more than most other raters. Although not great, I thought it was decent. The lemon came off as refreshing as opposed to off, and the wheat character went well with the fairly creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Lactic lemon and wheat malt aroma. Hazy pale yellow with small head. Lightly bitter lemon and wheat malt flavor. Light, watery beer.

Picked up a 6 pack after a brewery tour. If you are ever in Milwaukee, take a tour. It was the best brewery tour I have ever been on. Very fun! This was one of the better samples I tried during the visit. I am a big fan of wheat beers and this is has a nice clean and crisp flavor. Wish it had a little more orange flavor.

Very thin but not off putting. It’s clean, crisp, and smells pretty good but it lacks flavor and body. The palate is very watery but extremely drinkable. Hopefully the 8 pack variety can only go up from here!
