COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A Suburban Wheat Ale
Our same great wheat with a new name. The Wheat is brewed with approximately 50% wheat malt and 50% malted barley. The flavor of this brew is very well balanced meaning it is neither malty (sweet) or hoppy (bitter) like most of Finn’s beers, with the exception of raspberry extract added to the finished product. This is great beer to begin with if you haven't had a micro-brewed beer.

Clearly an entry level beer, that is a knock off of Goose Islands 312. Pours from tap into a pint glass a pale yellow orange with 2 fingers of white head. Nose and taste is semi sweet no big flavors here, a bit watery and thin even for this style.

If you think GI 312 is bad try this, it is buttery Perrier. Enough with the dumb area code wheat ales.

Tap at mickey fins. Pours a light amber orange with a small white head. A weird burnt pear note, doughy wheat, anf tangerines. Some light yeast character. Medium carbonation. Not bad.

Clear golden with a frothy white head. Nice aroma is tart wheat and bready yeast. Medium bodied. Decent flavor is tart wheat with a pale malt and citrusy sweetness. Another nice hot weather beer from Finns.

Sampler at the pub. Cloudy American Wheat appearance. Smells shows banana esters that are more at home in a hefeweizen than an American wheat. But slightly higher hop levels are appreciated. Some ale fruitiness further down. Finish has a bit of sweet roll dough to it.

RSRIZZO (1634) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - OCT 10, 2007
Had this beer on 9/14/1999. Color is much darker than any wheat I’ve seen (other then wheat Bock ). Starting with a medium/light body that goes down crisp. Finish is where things go wrong, it has a slightly oak whisky taste. Its just a bad beer.
