Commercial Description:
Malted wheat and the choicest American barley are combined with a blend of noble hops to create this light, fruity, refreshing beer. Brewed in the style of the American beer renaissance, Blue Star is unfiltered, the yeast adding a complex note to the flavor profile. It's especially good with a slice of lemon!

Surprisingly dark for an American wheat… urine gold and murky with roused bottle yeast. The thin dishwater head leaves no lace. Mild aromas of bread, caramel, and sour fruit. Diacetyl and tonic water flavors. Dry, neutral finish with no aftertaste, but a tingling aftereffect on the tongue. Watery mouthfeel, slightly greasy. The “appropriate-to-style” blandness has been taken to an extreme… I could see adding a lime wedge to introduce some character.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. Aroma is wheat, orange and citrus. Taste is citrus and wheat. This is a clean crisp beer. Smooth on the palate. Decent beer

served cold from 12 oz. bottle. yellow/gold in color. hazy. aroma of citrus and yeast. flavor is kind of pedestrian. a drinkable wheat beer, but by no means a quality one.

Pours a hazy muddled yellow gold with white head that dissipates to a thin layer. Aroma is wheat and not too much to say about it. Flavor is wheat, light watery earthiness with very mild hops. Body is fairly light with medium carbonation. Definitely nothing remarkable about this beer. Better than bud light but that’s about it.

Pours a semi-hazy straw with fading offwhite head. Aroma of sweet citrus and some horseblanket. Flavor has a weak hop bitterness. Medium thin body with high carbonation. Not that great.
