Boulder Beer Sweaty Betty Blonde

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

This is hands down the best American Wheat I have had yet. Boulder Beer never disappoints and this is no exception. Pour was a beautiful cloudy gold/white with a 1 finger white head. Aroma was strong yeast and wheat. Taste was classic....strong wheat and yeast with citrus notes throughout and a crisp dry aftertaste. Spring is here!

Bottle: Pours a golden color with a big puffy head that falls flat. The nose is a bit herbal and husky with light wheat notes and sweet malts. The flavor is sweet and malty, not as americany as I was thinking, this is actually more like a golden ale, not quite wheaty enough. Nice light hops, citrusy, somewhat balanced. Hmm.

Bottle pours a hazy light yellow. "Blonde" I suppose. Very slight white head that quickly fizzles out and only a few traces of lacing. Aroma is standard wheat malts and a little leamon zest. Flavor is standard wheat but with some european yeast characteristics. German Hef or Wit.

Bottle: Pours a cloudy, dirty blonde color with a smaller white head. Nose is citrus and wheat, hints of spices. Taste is consistent with the wheat style of citrus, clove, wheat, and a light spice. Hints of witbier spices, but it doesn’t really stand out. Thanks Indiana_Red for sharing.

How can anybody remain unemotional after reading the name of this beer? Alky spec looks to be above average. The beer in this 12 oz bottle smells a little sterile industrial and clean, ahhh, no floral hops. Perhaps my olfactory detects some sour vinegary-ness. Beautiful wheat pour, swirling, hypnotizing, yeasty precipitants. Bright citrusy, but not sweet, flavors. Some alky bitterness does greet the side of the tongue but it fades rapidly. Not quite as clean as a witbier. On the finish you do get a little bitter bite on the tongue, back center. Overall, I’m glad the wheat beer style types exists, fun to drink.

Pours a cloudy, golden color with a white head. Aroma is of citrus, lemon, wheat, and some banana. Flavor is strong of citrus, lemon, and banana at first then gives way to the yeasty, earthy tones. Has a strange after taste that really isn’t that pleasant.. Overall it’s ok, but there are better american wheats out there.

12 oz sample bottle into a Snifter style glass. Pours a slightly hazed golden yellow with a small white head. Fairly strong banana aroma with a hint of wheaty yeast. Pretty simple and almost bland wheat flavor with a small hint of clove and banana, but not by much. Has a hint of an orange citrus note, but dies quickly with wheat. I feel like its confused on whether or not to be a hefe or a blonde. Not horrid though.
