COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Pour 422 Pale Wheat Ale into a pint glass, give it a long whiff and you’ll realize that this isn’t your average pale golden wheat. Preserved in its unfiltered state, 422 is a fantastic session ale in which flavors of wheat, barley and hops commingle to a refreshing and zesty conclusion. Hints of orange and sweet malts waft to the fore as a touch of bitterness contributes to a smooth finish. 422 is brewed as a tribute to preserving our precious planet and it’s environment. It is responsibly packaged with over 80% recycled consumer products and is completely recyclable. Enjoy 422 all year as to take one stride closer to a eco-friendly life.

coldbrewky (1319) - Hippetown East, New York, USA - NOV 12, 2011
Bottle via the sampler pack. Full pour produces a lackluster watery yellow haze with a thin head. Nose of light wheat and a bit of lime. Taste is similar. Sparse carbonation does not continue to produce much of anything on top of this liquid. While it is not unpleasant to consume, it left no lasting impression as most ST brews are apt to do. I even went so far as to consume all three during the afternoon in succession but no further attributes could be gleaned from this middle of the road brew...sustainable packaging aint gonna make this dishwater taste any better.

Vir4030 (464) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - FEB 25, 2011
Pours a light golden with a thinnish white head. Aroma is alcohol with a bit of skunk. Flavor is also a bit of skunk. This beer is not smooth-tasting like most wheats. I don’t know about zesty.

bottle; hazy yellow with small tan head; aroma-citrus, bread, coriander, cooked vegetables; taste-light sweetness, bitterness and carbonation. Not great

19Ei8hty (1077) - Washington, USA - JUN 25, 2009
Thin orange tinted clear straw body. Light wheat and banana notes on the nose. Thin grainy cereal malt body, slight clove and lemon notes. Somewhat metallic - decent wheat finish but unable to save this mess. Everything that is wrong with wheat beers.

Ungstrup (26267) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - NOV 6, 2009
Bottled. A hazy golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of citrus and youghurt. And the flavor is sweet with notes of citrus and youghurt.

grapengrain (125) - Havelock North, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 5, 2010
Tasted from 330ml Bottle. Bright amber hue with a hint of haze - very vibrant! Nose of chlorine, grassy hops and citrus. Thin body notes of honey, orange and dried grass. Unexciting.

JFURYCAT (1079) - East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 19, 2009
$2 bottle from Abe’s, Bethlehem, in case anyone actually wants this. The lemon drop flavor isn’t too bad and it figures prominently in the aftertaste but the other elements don’t seem to mend well with it. The grassy palate gives it some dryness but the hops and caramel malts seem like the wrong fit with this beer.

AndyHasFins (58) - Tampa, Florida, USA - JUN 3, 2012
Wheat ales are good & pale ales are good, so this should be good, right? Eh, not so much. One of Southern Tier’s weaker offerings. Not much hop flavor to speak of, but instead a little too much malty sweetness and grain flavors.

Pale, mininal head, looks like American lager crap, smells like it too, honey, grainy, not much else going on there. Palate is sweet, lemon, a bit of graininess in there, tiny bit of hops in the finish. I don’t understand why ST was interested in making this.
