2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Another beer at the Mellow Mushroom. This was the first and the least enjoyed. The wheat beers are not for my palate. The yellow color was clear and a nice head. I just was not impressed. I moved on to Amber Jacques.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a Party Pig. Poured a slightly cloudy golden color with a light white head. Very slight lacing. Very pleasant malty caramel aroma. Above average mouthfeel. Flavor was pretty wheaty, with a malty kick to it. A lot better than I expected, especially since I’m not a big wheat ale fan. But this is a solid wheat beer.

Techinically a wheat beer - but it’s only 1/3 wheat. This beer is promoted as their version of light beer - the craft answer to BMC.
It pours a very light gold color without much of a head. It was more similar to an American light lager than an ale. Not very strong - not much malt or hop flavor. Very light and easy to drink.

Party Pig. Golden-colored and mostly clear. Good head but, it dissipates quickly. Crisp, with a slightly bitter after-taste. Thin mouth feel. Has a wheaty aroma. Not nearly as good as the Blue Heron.

Good beer, but kind of weak. Basically a low calorie wheat beer. I definitely prefer Lazy Magnolia’s Blue Heron and Indian Summer which are both wheat beers, but much better.

UPDATED: FEB 18, 2007 Sampled from a Party Pig (plastic mini-keg). Strong sour wheat malt and lemon aroma. Clear golden yellow color with large head. Light sour wheat malt flavor. A very nice Am wheat - one of the better ones.

This beer has its good and bad days for me. It’s a bit on the sour side, but pretty good if you’re ready to throw a bunch back.
