Milwaukee Ale House Cow Catcher Wheat

Original Score 6,3,3,2,12 - 2.9. Dark golden to amber color. Closer to a ur-weisse appearance. Smaller off white head. Aromas of wheat, almond extract, ala blue moon ice cream, light clover honey and a light citric zing. Not a real appealing balanced aroma. Flavors of malt-o-meal with cream and light honey. Ok, another american wheat that I just don’t get. Something is lost with out the "right" yeast to bring out spices and help develop full malt and wheat flavors. I’ll keep trying they though. 8/2/07 Re-rate. Draft @ Wisconsin State Fair. Either they changed the recipe or the other sample was bad. This seemed to be a different beer. A much hoppier versin, with hints of citric fruit. Much like a mellow/light Gumballhead.

Golden color w/ light orange hughes a small thick white head w/ good lacing. Very light aroma of wheat and light lemon zest & a touch of honey. Average palate some coating. Flavor has a light sweet honey touch a bit of grain & a light lemon zest dry finish. Pretty good, highly drinkable wheat.

Transparent and pale bronze in color with a white eyelash smear shaped the head. Confined aroma hints at Spotted Cow imitation. A touch of vanilla cream over muted, harvested wheat. Angel food cake with a middle-of-the-road buttercream smell to it, along with vanilla tootsie rolls and a touch of cream cheese danishes. Experimental lemon-accented Wonderbread nearly sears the daylight out of the flavor but weaves its way out of it and sets a new course for government bread loafs. Reductionary carbonation concoction leaves a flattened, depleted Harmony cereal flavor, pulling out crushed vanilla, almonds and bran with a touch of hazelnut creamer substituting for the milk’s portion. Dare I say that this one caught the milkier side of the cow but failed to harvest any of the surrounding wheat habitat? Slight acidic bite keels at the flavor’s underbelly, finishing with some unrefined oats, granular white cornmeal and over-represented pale base malt.

Pours to a hazy pine colored body with a thin white head. The aroma is buttered wheat bread. The flavor is wheaty, creamy, light sweet corn, buttered bread, light grass hops and spice. The palate is creamy, well-textured, medium-bodied.

Tap. Light wheat grain and some lemon-citrus touches around the edge in the aroma. Solid flavor - lightly toasted wheat malt under a pepper-spice, grassy hops, and lemon rind hopping. Medium-light mouthfeel with a fitting tingly carbonation. A solid American Wheat that’s kept interesting by the lemony/spicy parts.
