Commercial Description:
This Northwest style Hefeweizen is light-bodied, pale amber in color, fruity and refreshing, with a malty wheat character. The flavor is light and crisp with a touch of malt sweetness. Whistling Pig Wheat is unfiltered, with the classic cloudy appearance which characterizes the best Hefeweizens brewed in the Great Pacific Northwest. Whistle Pigs are marmots, small furry critters who live in the high country all around Leavenworth, WA, with especially high concentrations in nearby Whistling Pig Meadow.

(Draught) Sampled at Taphouse in Seattle. A rather expensive sampler at $9.95 for four 4-ounce samples. Cloudy gold. Nose is wheaty and tonic. Metallic flavour. Average at best.

This has long been my favorite NW American Wheat. It is nice and wheat with touches of sweetness and lemon. A little cereal wheat aroma and flavor. A little bit of yeast, but this does not come across as estery or fruity in any capacity. Good though.

on tap-pours a thin white head and cloudy yellow color. Aroma is mild medium malt/grain, some medium fruit. Taste is musty medium malt/grain, some medium fruit-sweet, then slight spice hops bite. OK/mild carbonation. Cross of American wheat and hefe.

Brewed for Pints & Quarts in Olympia WA. A good Hefe with a hazy golden color. The wheat aroma was thick and the flavor was refershing and light. this was not an over the top Hefe but it was good never the less. Easy drinking with a nice finish.

Golden-amber colour. Thick head even a lemon can’t kill. Ha ha! Screw you, lemon. Dry. Lightly toasty and husky...not much fruitiness if any. Very slight wheat character. Surprisingly dull given the original German inspiration behind this beer. Competent but boring.
