Boulder Beer Sweaty Betty Blonde

Brewed by Boulder Beer Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Boulder, Colorado USA

Very cloudy, golden yellow in color. Tiny white head that faded fast. Aroma is yeasty, yet sweet. Light, thin body that is easy to drink. Good summer beer.

I wasn’t too impressed with the look of this one. A pretty small head an a faint, pilsner like look. I like a nice cloudy wheat. Then came the aroma. It was very nice with traces of lemon and grains. The flavor was nice as well. A lot of citrus. It sat pretty good on the palate again with the citrus but not enough fruity body.

On tap at Jax Fifth Avenue (Orlando, FL). Pours a cloudy bright yellow with with bright white head that diminishes quickly to nothing. Aroma is of yeast, bread, wet dog, hint of citrus. Flavor was not very good on this pour with notes sour wet hay, vegetables, some lemon. Generally watery mouthfeel with a sour finish.

Appearance: Pours a clear, golden body with a small, though dense, white head. Smell: Mild aroma smelling softly of wheat and lemons with a slight underlying note of yeast. Taste: Pale, wheat malts with a tiny pop of sugared sweetness. Taste of lemon-flavored candy. Very minor, spicy hops and bitterness. Sip of cool, clean water. Hint of yeast. Lightly wheaty finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Just a light, lightly sweet, something wheaty beer, though it’s a fine quaffer for hot summertime Atlanta drinking.

Draft from Jax Fifth Avenue. Pours a cloudy yellow with an aroma of bread, banana, and some wet hay. The flavor is mostly wet hay with notes of corn. The finish is flavored of straw and some dry flavor. After some other wheat beers, not my favorite.

Nice blonde ale. Very strong flavor of banana and tropical fruit. Good for a wheat. Sampled at the St. Pete Florida Craft Beer Fest.

Appealing cloudy straw-wheat banana yellow. Totally different than my expectation. Described as a "blond ale" at the Barking Dog. This was actually a mild and refreshing german style wheat. Easy aroma of wheat tart and clove. Some banana and clove flavors round out a tart, but palatable wheatiness. Refreshing and enjoyable

bottle. A vigorous pour of a "wheat beer" into an oversized glass yields... less than an inch of fizzy thin off white head on top of a pale yellow brew. Heavy clove aromas, with some wet grainy wheat bread. Flavors do improve a bit... sharp citrus lemon and clove notes, dry tart sweetness. A bit watery on the palate, though flavors come off crisp enough without much finish. Not bad, but not so good either.
