Breckenridge Agave Wheat

Brewed by Breckenridge Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Denver, Colorado USA

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is hard to detect. Sweet malts is all i can come up with and that is a guess. Flavor is not much better but there is some bitter citrus and not much else. I don’t know what agave tastes like other than tequila but i don’t taste any in here. Pretty bland and boring even for this brewer.

Cloudy, dirty gold with decent, white head / Vegetal nose of wheat, lemon & agave / Medium, moderately creamy body with some tartness and a touch of hot spice on the good finish / Flavors of wheat and lemon with a mild cactus note complimenting the wheat / An interesting combination which works, although a more forward agave presence would be desirable.

This beer is very clear. If this is wheat ale I am confused. There needs to be a bit more of a opaque to translucent appearance. The head fades away too fast. There is a bit of a sweet smell in the aroma, but I am unable to pinpoint what it actually is. I think the aroma is very weak and dull. Not creamy enough to be a wheat ale. There is a continuing sweet flavor throughout the beer. I think it is the agave juice or flavor that they have added to the beer. I think this is a valid approach towards a wheat ale, but they should have stuck more towards the traditional approach with their own nuances. The agave juice is not a bad idea, but I think the brewer needs to be a bit more cognizant towards what he is trying to approach. A fellow drinker said he thinks this beer is rather sour, and I could not agree more. Overall, a bad version of a wheat, but they tried. They tried to make this a wheat beer, but I think it is closer to a sweet lager.

Pours a slightly hazy bright golden with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly pale semi-sweet malts. Body starts with an average viscosity and mild pale malty sweetness with a touch of grain and light agave character. Finishes drier and more bitter, but overall, pretty bland.

Pours a hazy straw yellow color with a white head. Aroma is malty, some wheat, sugary, and some peppery hops. Flavor is wheaty, sugary, and peppery hop finish.

Draft. LAbeled as Agave Nectar Heffe at local bar. Poured a cloudy orange body with thin head. Aroma was very faint and I could barely get anything out of it, I guess that’s better than it smelling bad. Taste was bitter citrus - orange, lemon; noticable wheat character with light fruit. Slight;y dry but very smooth with a nice mouthfeel.

tastes like a wheat beer with agave syrup in it. which isn’t really a good thing. kinda wierd aftertaste.

12oz, bottle, not terribly bad, not terribly great, nothing standoutish... taste is of a wheat beer with some sweetness type note coming through.... aftertaste is something tequila like... but not in a good way.
