A new summer beer to add to the rotation. Crisp and cloudy.
In the summer, a nice fresh-tasting, refreshing beer is what one looks for. And I’m not talking about the “cold-filter”, gimmicked-up crap that they advertise on T.V. as “the most refreshing beer”. I’m talking about a beer that has flavor and is refreshing on your palate. The brewers at J.W. Dundee have crafted a fine Summer Wheat beer.
Pouring this hefeweizen into my glass, the head was small, white and fizzy. The head dissipated quickly. The carbonation of this hefeweizen came at a medium rate. It is a hazy beer and has a gold color.
The aroma has nice lemon/citrus notes and a bit of maltiness from the wheat. The first sip brings a lemon hint from the hops and a slight maltiness on the finish. It is not a very bitter beer and has a nice refreshing crispness that is great on the palate and is refreshing. The finish on this beer is short and does not last that long – which is not a negative on this beer.
Summer Wheat Beer is a good beer and is a definite repurchase. I have bought three cases of it in three weeks by the time I wrote this up. This beer is one that you can have many of and not get bored with it.
ABV = 4.5%
