Mickey Finns 847

Brewed by Mickey Finns Brewery & Pub
Style: Wheat Ale
Libertyville, Illinois USA

Serve in Shaker, Weizen

On tap at the Mickey Finn Brew Pub. Poured a medium golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas and tastes of wheat, grainy, and some citrus in the tastes. Thinner body.

UPDATED: JUL 23, 2005 On draught at the brewpub: This poured a clear, pale yellow color with a slender white head that rapidly vanishes. The aroma is fairly faint, but is somewhat grassy with a yeasty fruitiness to it. Medium-bodied, it has a refreshing banana and bubble gum taste. The finish is short and sweet. This is definitely good for the Summer.

Growler courtesy of a travelling colleague. Pours a dark golden color with tiny bubbles. Medium foamy white head that stays pretty well. Thin, patchy lacing. Aroma of wheat and light malt. Light and smooth body with soft carbonation, with subtle wheat and sweet fruit flavors. Some malt as well. Nothing comes through very strong but at the same time the interplay between the airy flavors is somewhat pleasing. Not a great beer but intriguues me to try their other offerings.

Sample at the brewpub. Sweetish, slightly lemony nose, hazy and dull colored, sweet, simple flavor.

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.

draft... MF’s poke at GI 312... light sweet honey water some decent taste, easy to drink, better than a lager but not much there

Very refreshing and clean like a classic pilsner. Decent carbonation and a great wheat and barley nose and good hop spicyness.

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