COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Although few of us will ever achieve the official jersey, there is an athlete in all of us that thirsts to get out. Yellow Jersey Wheat is an American wheat style ale. We use 50% malted barley and 50% malted red hard winter wheat. It’s a light-bodied beer that is perfect for the hot Texas summers. It has a light hazy straw color with a light citrus character.

On tap at Stiles Switch BBQ and Brew in Austin. Golden pour with a white head. The aroma and flavor are full of big wheat and grain notes, with a hint of grass and some light citrus. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Beerenberger (795) - Fischer, Texas, USA - MAR 14, 2012
Clear yellow in appearance with a short lasting white head and a grainy aroma. The taste is very grainy much like the nose with a light mouthfeel. Would drink again. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap. Pours a clear yellow green color with a small soapy head. Not very complex at all. Grains, lemons, powdered sugar. A quaffer for sure.

Sampled at Texas Beerfest. Pours a cloudy yellow with a small frothy off white head. The aroma is a faint wheat grass and banana. Thin mouthfeel and a bit watery. Flavor of wheat and light honey. A decent wheat from Thirsty Planet.

Hey we go, made for the texas heat .. . Poured out a hazy yellow, great head that died down quite a bit- some lacing left over .. . light banana skin, mushy wheat, and barley straight from the farm .. . it was to refreshing for me write anything else, its all gone .. . float like a butterfinger, stank like a bee. ..

Pours yellow into the glass with a small dissipating white head. Aroma is grainy. Flavor is wheaty and pretty one-dimensional. I would never describe this as a ’bad beer,’ but it is not necessarily something memorable.
