The Peekskill Brewery’s Strawberry Wheat

Brewed by The Peekskill Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Peekskill, New York USA

On tap at the Peekskill Brewery. This was rather interesting. While brewing their Hefeweizen, they decided to split the batch into two halfway through the brewing process. Half of it became the Hefeweizen, while the other half they added a bunch of fresh strawberries to, and then continued the fermentation. This was served with a spoonful of strawberries and simple syrup, so I’m sure that affected it a little bit. Pours a nice cloudy pink to orange with a thin white head. Loads of strawberries on the nose with some wheat backing it up. The strawberries help out a lot as they mask some of the graininess of the regular version. Finishes a bit grainy but with some strawberry, and even a hint of mint. Nothing fantastic, but a step up from the regular version, and an interesting beer.
