Breckenridge Agave Wheat

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

On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a cloudy, orange body with an inch thick, dense foam, white head that dissipates at a moderate pace and leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is some sweeter and light wheat malts, bread, sweet oranges and tangerines, and slightly tart lemons. Flavor starts sweet and fruity with a light tartness before more wheat bread comes in. Finishes slightly juicy with a bit of a tart earth and lingering sweet wheats. Palate is medium bodied and smooth. Overall, a pretty tasty wheat with enough bright flavors to satisfy. Straightforward, but solid.

12oz bottle: Pours a hazy gold with a fluffy white head that instantly disappears. Fruity, almost pineapple-ish nose, is light but enjoyable. The body is sorta spritzy for the style, definitely lacking any creamy wheat. More fruit - mostly peach, hits the palate first. Softer notes of overripe banana and vanilla play a nice secondary role. Not as impressive as I was hoping, since agave sounds great in a wheat in theory.

Bottle from Siciliano’s, I can’t believe I haven’t rated this yet. Slightly hazy orange with small to medium white head. Aroma is dry wheat and slight funk (like sewage) but not too off-putting. Flavor is medium sweet wheat, slight citrus, grain, chalky, not too bad. Medium and creamy. Not bad and in fact one of the better beers from Breckenridge.

On draft at Old Eagle Tavern. Poured hazy gold with minimal head. Funky sour, yeasty flavor. Meh.

Pours hazy orange gold with a thick head. Aroma is light banana wheat and lemony citrus. Flavour was slightly tart and the body was a bit thin. Wheat malt flavs with some thinned out lemon juice tones. More light banana towards the finish. Slight tang. Not to shabby.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a cloudy gold with white fizzy head, dissipated kinda quick. Aroma is citrus, kinda tangy. Flavor is kinda sour, citrus, some light wheat malt. Mouth feel is light-medium body with high carbonation. Overall, I’m not sure if this is an old bottle or not, but I find it tangy and refreshing for summer....I like it!!! But I like sour beers!!!

Pours a very hazy yellow with a white head forming. The head is rather small for a wheat beer. Smells of light fruit and spice. The flavor really doesn’t have any character to it, but it still pretty decent. Tastes of sweet lemons, a hint of agave, and some grain as well.

12oz bottle from the foodery. Pours golden yellow with a bright white head. Nose is sweet. Taset is very sweet and quite drinkable.
