Commercial Description:
Our Brewmasters' Release - The three different red, caramelized, and dark wheat malts give this beer an intense red color that runs as deep as the flavor. The toasted grain flavors blend perfectly with the subtle spiciness of the hops just as the entirety fades to a smooth quick finish.

Small, foamy, off-white head covering an amber body. Wheat, cardboard, cherries, and oranges in the aroma (not attractive). Fruity, and very sweet tastee. Watery-fizzy mouthfeel.

Pours a deep copper color with a medium light tan head. The aroma is malty caramel. Nice smooth taste with a roasted wheat/barley presence and a good, slightly hoppy finish. Pleasant mouthfeel. I would like to simmer some bratwurst in this beer on the grill, and then enjoy the brat on a wheat bun with German mustard, along with this brew and a potato salad on the side.

From a 12 oz bottle from a $7.79 six pack purchased at Market of Choice in Ashland, Oregon this poured a color that was a very clear and attractive red-amber. Raised a nice fizzy white head. Left good lacing as it settled. Nose is light caramel malts with a a background of hops. Good smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is of the wheat malts and hops, and is very easy to drink. Slightly bitter finish. One of the better wheat ales I have seen. I like it.

Bottle. A lightly spiced caramel aroma. Reddish amber color with a ring and a smear for head (white). Thin to medium body with light, fizzy carbonation. Lightly roasted caramel with light, spicy hop. Actually tastes pretty good. Finishes out with lightly hoppy, lightly bitter, lightly caramel, lightly everything. Sort of refreshing, and probably very good for summertime.

Has a nice aroma. The taste seems like an amber witha mix of a wheat. Overall, it’s fairly smooth, but still too wheaty for me.

Copper or perhaps toffee coloured. Fair soft off-white head. Sweet toffee aroma. Darker malt and accompanying sweetness seem to mute any benefit from the wheat. Round mouth feel. A bit of light spiciness but mostly toffee and caramel flavours. Pleasant.
