tasting #014: weekend warrior wheat

Appearance: Lightly cloudy, lightly golden. Good clarity for unfiltered wheat! Low carbonation, but it is likely me rushing to open a bottle, it was just to good straight out of the fermenter.

Aroma: Rounded sweet and delicate, with good amounts of the critical bubblegum and banana esters. The background has a citrusy hop but its not overwhelming. It is prettier (?) than anything I have brewed before.

Taste: I hate to say ’rounded’ again but I do think that it is overall well balanced, with no overwhelming sweetness or bitterness. Gently sweet wheat, and possibly some late alcohol burn? The finish could be cleaned up a bit, but this is damn fine. Medium mouthfeel, thicker than those macro wheat brews; full bodied refreshment!

Overall: Suburb and simple. It will be very easy to share this will those not so familiar with beer or homebrew…if it makes it out of my house.
