Sierra Nevada Wheat Beer
A. Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. A vigorous pour yields an average head, with decent retention. Cloudy straw yellow in appearance. Some stickage is noticed and appreciated. S. Wheat and some slight lemony hop. T. A good wheat beer. The hops are somewhat oily and lend a citric character to this wheat beer. The wheat is bready but does not approach the bubblegum/banana/clove noticed in some hefeweizens. Good for the style of APWA. M. Light bodied and moderately carbonated. Signs of active carbonation are apparant. D. Pretty drinkable indeed. Light and enjoyable. Overall: Sierra Nevada succeeds in making a very good wheat beer. Recommended. Especially for a summer beverage.
