Breckenridge Agave Wheat

7-13-08 bottle
Thick dense clouded orange with no lasting head at all. Smell is huge OLIVES, and light tart wheat. Flavor is light and sweet dough - not a big or bold flavor at all. Medium to high carbonation. Very strange presence of olives in the smell.

12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a dark gold with a small head. Aroma is all citrus. Taste isn’t bad, but there’s nothing too special about this beer. Meh.

This beer pours a horrible dark yellow or amber color. Very small faint head. Lemon is over bearing and very faint hints of wheat. If you are looking for a good wheat beer, this is not the one.

Rated 7.13.08. Pours a very murky light golden with a small soft white head. Sweet agave and wheat aroma. First taste is sweet agave, followed by some boring wheat and metallic flavors. I like the unique sweetness the agave adds, however, the rest is kinda like macro american keg beer. Medium, kinda chalky body with some light fizzy carbonation. . . . 5 3 5 3 10 . . . . . . . . Rerate 12.27.08. Who would have thought an accidental 6 months would help this beer hehe. Pours a cloudy homogeneous gold with no bubbles and a small dense creamy white froth. Light aroma of sweet agave juice, light honey and faint toasted wheat, pleasant. Soft flavors, the slight oxidation seems to have helped greatly. Tastes like pilsner malt, lightly grassy, sweet and tangy agave sugars, light honey wheat toastiness. Smooth crisp palate. . . . 6 4 6 3 12 . . . . . . .

Pours an odd semi hazy yellowish orange with a quickly fading white head. Smell is slightly sour almost funkiness, and wheat, with a bit of lemon in there as well. Flavor is extremely bland aside from the tartness that feels like a ton of lemon juice was squeezed into a regular lager. The agave gives it an odd mustiness, that I don’t particularly care for. Interesting, but not really good. A bit thin as well.

Drinkable, so in some sense it’s better than the other beers in this scoring range for me. But very little head for a wheat beer, low aroma, watery flavor and no catch of the agave nectar make this a low scorer. I did have some agave nectar at the house so I just poured some in myself. At least I get the "subtle note" that way, eh.

12oz bottle served directly out of the fridge in a shaker glass. Crisp wheat and mildly earthy aroma, maybe a little citrus. Pours goldish yellow with a one fingered white head, active carbonation, and evident bottle conditioning. The taste is crisp wheat and an unfamiliar flavor that is both fruity & earthy, a bit of tartness as well as lemony citrus. There is also a slickness about the beer that is unique but not off putting. An interesting American wheat with a little extra something. Would be nice on the back porch on a hot day.

Pours a golden color (unfiltered). Tastes like a regular wheat, with a slight citrus
