The beer escapes the 12-ounce bottle a clear gold with a generous creamy white head that lingers long, upon its final dissolution; the lace provides a thin veil to obscure the glass. Nose has a nice earthy grain aroma, slight hint of hops, citrus like in its crispness, start has a fair to middling grain profile, decent bitter bite at the back, feels light to moderate. Finish has a sparkling acidity, the hops diminutive but pleasing, quite dry aftertaste, nice drinking beer, good session beer.

12oz bottle. Pours hazy orange/yellow with a moderate, fizzy white head, specks of lace. Smells of light malt and some citrus. Tastes malty earthy with some citrus, oranges and the like. Somewhat musty. Thin body, vibrant carbonation. Thin body, vibrant carbonation.

light, airy aroma, actually reminds me of a freshly cleaned room, like ozone. slight haze, golden and a head that never rose, but refused to leave. anything sweet is quickly fleeting, became dry and dirty, perhaps because big sky’s not making this anymore. astringent finish.

Let me start by saying that I am judging this beer against the style. I’m not a huge wheat beer fan, but TroutSlayer is delicious. It was pretty clear for a wheat, was yellow in color and the head was composed of big bubbles. The aroma is what got me. It had a citrus aroma and some herbal smell that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. The taste was similar to the aroma, with more of a citrusy character. It was too easy to drink. After this and Moose Drool, I’m becoming a big fan of big Sky.

Draft: Golden color pour with white medium sized head. Wheat, grainy aroma with a light hoppy, slightly sweet finish. Not too bad.
