Blue Star Wheathead

Brewed by Blue Star Brewing Co.
Style: Wheat Ale
San Antonio, Texas USA

Good stuff. Great wheat beer, reminds me a lot of blue moon which I really enjoy.

Draft, shaker. Aroma is mostly hay and clove with a background of spicy/earthy hops. Malt (L), yeast (L), hops (L). Deep straw body is quite hazy and topped with a diminishing “whipped cream” head. Lightly sweet, moderately acidic (sharp, tart) flavor becomes a moderately acidic (tart), moderately bitter finish. Medium-light body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: a refreshing thirst quencher with enough hop bite to make it interesting.

Bottled. Poured cloudy yellow with a white head making it look like a good hefe pour. Aroma is lemon and wheate with a good sweet citrus to it. Reminds me of a Boulevard Zon. Flavor is a slight sweet blueberry which then switches to a stronger lemon finish. Sweet with a hint of spice and a medium body.

Bottle from World Market. Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus. Flavour of wheat, citrus, some malts, some spices. Medium bodied. Nice one.

Draft at blue star. The beer pours a dark orange yellow with a thin white head. The nose is a fruity lemon and spice. The taste is a citrusy yellow and orange with clove and banana notes. The finish is a slight yeasty flavor.

Smells of dry banana. Medium gold with white head. Opaque, no floaties. Mild bitterness. Some banana. No sweetness. Boring mouthfeel. Solid wheat

Slightly cloudy golden pour with a thin white head. Aroma of grains, yeast and sweet citrus. Feels a bit watery going down, but has a nice flavor of wheat and lemon. Very refreshing.

Bottle poured cloudy yellow with no head or lacing. Aroma is crisp, malty, and a bit of citrus. Flavor is very light malt, creamy and just a touch of hops on the finish. I like it!
