Commercial Description:
This ale is an American Style Wheat. The smooth taste of this golden ale is derived from a simple grain bill of harrington barley. Shawano Gold is an excellent choice for thoses touges that prefer a lighter taste. But be adviced that this ale is far from being like a typical american lager, it still carries the full flavor that makes Slab City Beers the local choice in premium malt beverages.

Picked up the last single 12-oz bottle at Flanagan’s in Appleton, Wisconsin and stored in my cellar for nearly two years. Pours a semi-clear golden pale brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates clean. Aroma of light white bread malt with wheat, a touch of lemon zest and some cardboard. Taste is pretty thin, some light to medium bodied, some carbonation with a corn/wheat malt flavor with a touch of lemon. Finish is pretty flat and some husk flavors due to the two years of aging. I would have liked to try this one fresh, though.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of wheat, lemons and a little on the buttery side. Tastes of wheat, lemons and light bananas. Has a light tartness to the finish. Thin body.

Gold Coloring with White Skin. Puckering Bitter Malt. Not Very Enjoyable.

Frothy and fading white head... pale yellow body. Stale and sweet lemony wheat aroma. To me, it seems like a combination of a crisp Bud, and a wheat beer. A bit fizzy in the body... a bit too much.

Appearance: Hazy creamy caramel color. Thin white head that dissapated quickly. Micro particles floating in the body. Aroma: wheat and barley bread, slight banana. Flavor: odd. I definitely get the huskiness that DavidP does. I also get the cornyness that JPDIPSO does. Although, the corn flavor isn’t nearly as good as a New Glarus Spotted Cow. Flavor’s not apalling, but not that good. Palate is pleasing.
