Widmer Brothers W08 Crimson Wheat

Brewed by Widmer Brothers Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Portland, Oregon USA

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.

amber pour. thin head zero lacing. nothing special, very session-able nightcap style beer

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.
