Breckenridge Agave Wheat

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

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.

Pours a cloudy orange with a light beige head. Aroma of fruit, spice, and clove. Taste is also fruity, very wheat, and spiced. Finish is dry and a little bitter. Not really a pure wheat beer, but a nice beer nonetheless.

On tap at Flying Saucer. Has a very cloudy orange golden color with a small white frothy head. The aroma is citrus and wheat grass. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet orange with a nice dry finish. A decent wheat ale from Breckenridge.

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.

Cloudy, yellow color served in a Breckenridge Agave Wheat pint glass at my favorite Mexican restaurant (La Cueva). The smell is wheaty and unsurprising but still good. The flavor is a nice wheat with the expected hint of cloves and banana and some earthiness to it. This was obviously very easy to drink and went well with enchiladas.

(bottle). Cloudy golden color. Medium white head which is mostly diminishing. Sweet wheat aroma. Wheat flavor with a light, lasting sweetness. Avg duration. Finish is Slightly bitter and astringent. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Good lacing.

Slightly cloudy, straw colored pour with a 1 finger white head. Grassy aroma with a hint of sweetness, lemon and spice. Mildly sweet malt flavor with notes of citrus, yeast, esters, and a light semi-sweet fruit character (the agave nectar i guess). Has a touch of spicy hop bitterness on the finish. Medium-thin body.

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.
