Terrapin SunRay

Brewed by Terrapin Beer Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Athens, Georgia USA

Serve in Shaker, Weizen

12 oz. bottle. Another wheat I tried while down south. Very mild wheat ale. Refreshing on a hot day, but not nearly as much flavor as a good hefe. Would not buy again.

THOUGHTS: Sweet! Honey and wheat. Nice summer beer and session beer, too. A little past date, but not bad. A little cloying by the midway point. The flavor was nice, but the body was a little syrupy. One of the few beers that I would suggest drinking quickly. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a murky, dark, milky yellow with a small to average, ever so slightly off-white head that mostly lasted keeping a nice sheet and leaving fair lacing. The aroma was pleasant, but very weak. There was light yeast, honey, wheat and a little lemon. The initial flavor was sweet, acidic and slightly sour; while the finish was rather sweet and slightly sour with a short to average duration. There was citrus, lemon, honey, a little wheat, some spicy yeast and sour lemons; but mostly citrus, lemon and honey. The light to medium body was a little syrupy and then dry with soft, yet tingly carbonation and an acidic finish.

Hazy light honey color with thin white lacing. Nose is tangrine, & banana. Light refreshing palate is smooth and creamy yet crisp. A little thin on the palate but good overall. Good smooth banana finish.

Very light and smooth drinking. Light Color and very little bitterness. A very nice Wheat style beer.

12 oz. bottle. The bottle said "best if enjoyed by March 2010!! " Ok, I got this one a BIT out of code. Hazy orange color, small white head. Aroma is wheat, honey, fruits and mild yeastyness as well. Flavour is wheat, grass, honey and some slight earthy and grassy notes as well. Also has some banana lurking in the background. I would love to get a fresh bottle of this. Even with it being old, still pretty good.

Bottle at the State Theater (St. Pete, FL). Hazy golden yellow color with a foamy white head. Nice wheat, yeast and spiced aroma. The sweetness from the honey definitely comes through in the flavor. A bit of tartness in the finish. Refreshing.

There’s a nice wheat beer trying to get out here... unfortunately this one is pretty flat and fizzy. Nice sweet honey-fruit aroma and flavors. Wheaty finish. Would not mind trying this again with a fresher bottle.

Tap @ brickwall ap. Cloudy golden with white head. Aromas of wheat, vanilla, honey, clove. Flavors of cereal, honey, clove, yeast, banana, vanilla. Medium body with effervescent carbonation and slightly foamy mouthfeel. Not a bright and sweet, sunny type beer as name suggests but a complex wheat beer in style of german wheats.
