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.

Pours a reddish amber color with small, quickly fading off-white head. Aroma is malty and sweet. Very smooth easy drinking beer. Unlike most wheat ales I’ve ever tasted, but in a good way.

Aroma is malty-sweet. Pours red-amber with a creamy small head and modest lacing. Favor is rich sweet malts with a touch of bitter hops. Hop profile could be bigger. Palate is soft, smooth, drinkable brew. Overall a good session wheat beer. Not one I will seek out, but I wouldn’t turn one down. I would try a draught version if found.

Pours a clear red, with almost no head. Aroma is light malt. Flavor is also light, but not typical of a wheat beer. Slightly more malty, but reminds of a lager more than a wheat ale. Medium body, with a slight fizz at the start, and a flat finish. Glad I tried it, but probably won’t try it again.

Pours a slightly hazy deep amber color with a small white head. Spotty lacing. Light toasted sweet malt. Flavor about the same. Sweet aftertaste. Worth a try but nothing special.

Nice amber brown color with a off white head. Aroma is light fruit, malty. Taste is lightly malty, some dried fruit, a bit earthy.

Pours dark amber, barely a tint of red. Not a whole lot of foam. Smells like grain, hay, etc. Tastes spicy, very malty, and a little like the glass bottle. Medium thick body. Pretty carbonated. Heavy finish - food like. You might say you could chew this beer.

A 12oz bottle with a made on date stamped on it. The beer poured a amber body with a light brown head. The smell of roasted malt and wheat. The taste is light wheat and hops but not bitter nice and smooth. Good carbonation and lacing. Six Pack.
