Anderson Valley High Rollers Wheat

Brewed by Anderson Valley Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Boonville, California USA

Pours a golden/orange color. Aroma is zesty and citric like lemon peel. Flavor is tart and bitter. Not really a great brew but it is drinkable. It seems to be hard to find a really good American wheat.

Very soft basic american wheat without hte clove and banana spice of the Germans. Some lemonzest and wheat notes. Clean and refreshing. Great if you are not drinking for enjoyment.

Big foamy head. Hazy orange color. Nice orange, hay and herb taste and nose. Medium carbonated. Very refreshing.

Bottle. Hazy golden-orange color with a large white head that diminishes quickly. Light citrus, yeast and wheaty aroma. Flavor is also citrusy sweet with a nice tart-bitter finish. Light to medium body and gentle carbonation. Not a fruity and spicy as a german style wheat, but refreshing and good.

Slightly hazy straw colour, average-sized lasting head, good lacing. A bit peppery, floral and citric aroma. Taste of wheat with a touch of hops. Definately in the American Wheat tradition, but still better than most in the category. Not bad, but also not great.

Yellowish murk but still very visiable through the glass. Has a very faint wheat and lemon smell. Not a whole lot of flavor but some citrus can be detected along with grains of wheat. Has a water and yeast taste about it that when added with a lemon it will become drinkable.

22 oz bottle: light golden yellow, clear with a creamy white head fed by a continuous stream of tiny bubbles…sweat malty aroma with wisps of citrus fruit, sugary banana icing, flower petals, and sour plastic. Strong maltiness surrounds fleshy citrus slices and is backed-up with a toasted grains and a light bitterness. Nothing to write home about, but drinkable enough.

This is another average summer outing, that is just light and refreshing. This is average but so easy to drink. A nice amount of hops, with some clove and banana and citrus.
