Boulder Beer Sweaty Betty Blonde

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

Hazy Yellow Fresh citrusy bright aroma with several notes of fruits especially lemons, green apples, honey dew and banana. Fresh, subtle, solid and refreshing wheat beer. An americanized hefeweizen with the usual banana, clove and nutmeg flavors but also some hints of lemon, ripe pear and apple.

This beer came a pale cloudy cider color that fades to gold near the bottom of the glass. The head consists of a wide collar of small white bubbles. Smells of sweet honey and creamy wheat with some orange citrus. There’s also a smooth milky yeast that seems to ties this all together. Tastes of doughy wheat and oats with an awesome, milky banana and clove presence. This is followed by a snap of citrus that helps dry the flavors out and helps this finish with a little clove and a pasty wheat. The mouth feel is light to medium bodied and not too heavy at all. This one’s a dead ringer for a Bavarian Weitzen. Well done!

I’m going to do this one in two parts since my glass is to small for the whole bomber to go into,so it without yeast first and with yeast poured in second. Nice clear straw color,small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.The aroma was wheaty with a slight cerealish quality coming through a little fruit hint like maybe a mild citrus.The flavor is a mild wheat with some bannana and spice,somewhat sweet at first then a change to a cerealish flavor and a slight hop presence.Finishing up fairly clean with a mild bannana after taste.Sofar not bad,now for part two. Oh yeah now theres what i’m looking for.Cloudy straw color,the head stays much the same as before,with the aroma coming on just a bit stronger with a little more bannana and citrus.The flavor also comes on just a bit stronger in the fruit arena and an addition of a slight yeasty character but nothing more that would really add to the brews over all rating,just strengthens whats it’s going to get.A very nice brew over all and well worth getting a few more due to it’s easy drinkability and over all summer appeal.

Quite tasty, kind of salty like (from Betty’s sweat), good with food and pleasant and light.

Bottle. Pours a rich gold with yellow highlights... great carbonation, pleasing presentation. Aroma is faint hops and citrus. Pleasing aroma! Flavor is clove, banana, and bubblegum. Pretty good. Palate is subtle, but it does the job. A great beer.

Bottle from Frugal McDugal in Nashville. I going to rate this for what it is. Just because a beer is light bodied and not 11% does not mean it can’t be well crafted and complex. Too many people bash summer beers and I don’t understand why. Pours a hazy pale golden with a white head. Nice hefe type aroma of yeast, wheat malt, and a hint of lemon. Light texture and body, but refreshing and not watery. Initial flavor of pale wheat malt, yeast, and spice with moderate sweetness. Hints of lemon and a wisp of clove in the middle. Light thirst quenching and subtle yeasty finish. This is like a hefe meets wit, but with less body. Very well done for what it is, a mild summer beer. On a hot summer day, the kids can drink lemonade and I will have one of these. Under rated IMO

12oz bottle A—Strong bright yellow and mid-range cloudy, Average white head that quickly dissipates into top lace. S—strongly citrus, grassy. T—touch of lemon, stronger taste of wheat, soft grass taste at end of swallow. M—light and refreshing, effervescent and bubbly. Wheat adds a nice character to the tongue without overpowering mouth. D—very easy to drink beer. Excellent warmer weather beer.

Had this beer on 7/22/2004. Aroma is a sweet almost fruity scent. Color is a bright gold with very good carbonation and a nice light looking head. Taste is light and refreshing. Starting with a full/light body it goes down with a crisp clean feel and sweet wheat flavor starting to show its self. Finish comes on with this sweetness growing a bit then is followed by a gentle sour flavor that is a bit like a Heffe. Its a nice Summer brew and one of the better clear wheat beers I’ve had.
