Wow, what a head, thick and creamy. This seasonal brew has a medium golden color. Not much of a bitterness flavor, but that's not unusual for a wheat beer. Lime leaves and peels are used in the brewing process and the beer has a slight sour lime flavor mixed with a slight orange flavor, All and all not a bad brew, it would be a good complement with a seafood dish.

Wahoo Wheat Beer, Ballast Point Brewing Co.

This Wit Beer has a yellowish cloudy (unfiltered) coloring with a so so white head, and a metallic type aroma. Brewed with orange peel and coriander, the taste has an almost banana like sweetness to it. Not much bitterness, it has a tangy light body feel on the pallet. Not a bad Wit beer, but I wasn't overly impressed.

Our Reviews

When we review beers we don't go into this fancy diatribe like wine reviews, after all we're beer drinkers, not tea totters. If we taste a particular flavor, we'll mentioned the flavor but not mention 20 different hints of this and that. We don't rate the beers, because we believe that everyone has different tastes. If we don't like a beer, we'll tell you we don't like it. So enjoy the reviews and if there's a beer you'd like us to review, let us know. Prosit.
Working the Reviews

Even though reviewing beers is the most enjoyable part of creating this web site, it also takes a long time to review a lot of beers. I informed my wife that I need to take a week off from my day job to work on beerandmicrobrews.com. When I explained that I needed to taste a bunch of beers each day, she gave me this disgusted look and said "you've got to be kidding me"! She actually believes that my main reason for beerandmicrobrews.com is so I can justify drinking more beer. Can you believe the insanity of that reasoning? Instead of taking a week off I decided to have a beer review party. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who participated, it was a great theme for a party and a hell of a way to drink more beer, it won't be the last.
Shock Top, Anheuser-Busch

Light golden unfiltered cloudy color with a weak head, this Belgian White Style Wheat Ale has a light grapefruit aroma. Not much of bitterness flavor, the citrus peels and coriander used in the brew seem to over ride the bitterness.The taste has a citrus flavoring with a banana sweet finish. If you like a sweeter wheat beer, you'll probably enjoy this one.

Pyramid Hefeweizen, Pyramid Breweries

Dark golden/orange coloring, this hefe is brewed in the Bavarian style of using lots of malted wheat. It has a fairly weak head and an unfiltered cloudiness, with a sweet banana aroma. It as a real spritzy type feel and a lot of bubbly carbonation. The taste is slightly bitter with a hint of sweet wheat flavoring. Since I like hops, I enjoyed this beer.

Konig Ludwig Weissbier, Konig Ludwig Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg

Cloudy orangish coloring with a decent white head and bits of yeast that sank to the bottom of the glass. . It has a bit of a sour aroma. It has a slightly bitter hops flavor with good carbonation. Not much of a sweet flavor with this brew, it has a biscuit feel with a toasty yeast flavoring. It's German so enough said about the purity. A pretty decent Weissbier.

Great White, Lost Coast Brewery

Light golden and clear coloring. This wheat beer has a citrusy aroma and a good white head. A very refreshing brew with a buttery, vanilla taste. Great White has a nice carbonation feel with a light wheat finish. Not your typical wheat beer. Very enjoyable.

Erdinger Hefe-Weizen, Erdinger Weissbrau

Light yellow coloring with a great white head. This brew had a bit of a yeast aroma. It's bottle fermented and the color was pretty cloudy. Weissbrau, as its name indicates specializes in wheat beers. Since it's German, you know the ingredients all natural and pure. It has a bit of a spicy banana type flavor with some sweetness to it but it's not overly sweet. Pretty good wheat beer. It would go good with a nice fish filet.

Sunset Wheat, Leinenkugel Brewing

Medium yellow cloudy coloring with a decent white head. The aroma actually smelled like fruit loops. The taste surprised me. You can really taste the coriander. The taste is like a combination of black licorice and blueberries.. A very sweet beer with a lot of flavor. It actually numbed my tongue a bit. Not a bad wheat, just different.
