Widmer Brothers W08 Crimson Wheat

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

Very dark wheat color. Almost red. Small head that turns into just an oil slick. Nose is wheat, biscuits, toast. Taste is soapy and bland. This reminds me of a weak Fat Tire Ale. Not a whole lot went right with this beer. Maybe its time for a new brewmaster. Thank god I broke down the sixer.

Copper colored with a thin head. Wheat in the smell, somewhat sweet smell. Taste is wheat and sweet with caramel. Medium body,

Thought it would be better...poured a off white head, which didn’t last too long...Aroma was ok, aroma of malt, no hops detected. Dark amber color. Now, for the flavor. It was a good wheat beer, but was not unique in any way, and to quote the last poster, "Highly Boring", has a sweet malt flavor and I think I detect a little honey as well???.....but it is a good beer non the less.

Crystal-clear medium red color, with a quickly evaporating head. Faint malt aroma. Thin wheat taste. Maybe filtering this beer to achieve the brilliant color robbed the flavor usually found in a wheat beer. OK beer, just not much that stands out. I look forward to to W09.

Easy soft tones of wheat, yeast and caramel malts, not an overwhelming appearance, except the color is a nice reddish copper, flavor is sweet malts and spice, palate is thin, overall a quaffer that I would not refuse if it were at a party or given to me, I’m ready for the next tasting...

Bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a small disapating amber head. Aromas of carmel, fruittiness and wheat. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel and light fruittiness with a crisp dry malty finish.
