Sierra Nevada Wheat Beer
The label says unfiltered, but the beer doesn't really show it. Poured a pale golden yellow with minimal but sticky head. Carbonation looks very nice bubbling up to the surface. This one smells primarily of clove and citrus. Its not an overwhelmingly aromatic beer. It is watery in the mouth, but then again, it is a wheat beer, so that is just about par for the course. There is some tingle from the slightly above average amount of carbonation. Wheat is the dominant flavor as soon as you take your first sip, and it sticks around all the way to the aftertaste. This is the wheatiest wheat beer I have had. Some sweet fruity and sugary flavors get through when the wheat flavors ebb. A faint spiced flavor gets through now and again. This is certainly light enough to drink mass quantities of, but the strong flavor might have me reaching elsewhere after 2-3 of these. Overall though, this is a nice, flavorful and yummy wheat offering from Sierra Nevada. It isn't on par with their flagship beers, but it is still a solid choice if you want an American style wheat.
