Boulder Beer Sweaty Betty Blonde

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

Smells like wheat ale. Very blonde in color, and very clear or transparent. There is a little bit of a grassy aroma. Not very aromatic, but still a decent smell for a blonde ale. Smells heavily of wheat and yeast. There is not much citrus to speak of, but the wheat smell is overwhelming. If this is a wheat ale the color is too transparent. I do not appreciate that. The beer has a nice head that sticks around for a while. There is a very nice wheat and yeast taste, but again the citrus flavor is just not there. The beer is of an average palate. This beer just lacks the nuances of a good wheat ale. I like the yeast and the wheat, but beyond that there is nothing here. Overall, a very middle of the road type of beer.

Bottled. Pours a cloudy golden yellow colour, with a firm white head. Citrus and spice aroma was pleasant. Easy drinking flavour with more citrus and some bananas. Good wheat beer.

sweaty betty pours a light gold, almost white, with a cloudy appearance and a huge frothy white head. a nice belgian white aroma of spices(clove, coriander) and yeast(marshmallow). the flavor has the same qualities as the aroma with a nice grainy malt. light bodied. pleasant.

not bad for this style, but the more beer I drink the less I find I enjoy this style. I dont think I can get it to my sink quick enough.

Cloudy yellow pour with a very thin and short lived white head. Aroma has wheat, yeast, banana and some light spice. High carbonation. Taste revealed some clove, but it’s mainly banana and wheat. It’s just an honest wheat ale. Pretty good.

bottle. yeasty and spicy at first, then a second wave of something like coriander or clove and some citrus behind it. the second bit was tart and apply too. was quite surprising, and the flavor intrigued me enough that it kept it interesting. a much more complex beer than i thought it was going to be.

given to me, didnt finish it, didnt drink another, probably wont buy another but if there is nothing else at the bar i like, id get it, i think.

Bottle. Poured a pale yellow with a thin white head. Wheat, spices, and a hint of citrus in the aroma. Light clove in the flavor with wheat and citrus backings. Light body and a citrus aftertaste. (Rating from June ’07)
