Breckenridge Agave Wheat

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

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.

12 oz bottle purchased at Metcalf Discount on 91st Street in OP, KS. Pour is slighlty hazed straw golden with a firm 2 inch white head. As the head slowly retreats, leaves behind nice lacing. Aroma of musty wheat and floral perfume. Also some vegetable quality, I’ll assume that is the Agave. Slight twinge of chemical sour towards the very back. Unique nose for certain. The taste is wheat primarily, with a grassy hay earthiness leading to the Agave flavor towards the finish. Some tart lemon citrus is present as well. Flavors are nicely integrated, and this builds up to a satisfying beer. Palate is mouth coating without being heavy. Interesting idea well executed.

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.

On tap at Jonesy’s (Denver, CO). Pours a hazy golden color with white head. Aroma of banana, honey, clove, spice, light fruit. Flavor is about the same with a little more fruitiness. Light body and light malt finish.

Pours a cloudy orange color with a small white head. The aroma is full of sweet malts, some honey, citrus and wheat. The flavor is pretty basic, but nice; lots of wheat and some honey, the agave is interesting, I guess it gives it a bit of coolness. The palate is pretty light and very fizzy. Thanks Richard.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy light orange with a half finger white head that results in spotty lacing. The nose is wheat and light citrus hops. The taste is wheat, light citrus and very subtle agave in the finish. Medium body. Refreshing but not very interesting.

On-tap, served in a shaker glass. L: Unfiltered cloudy appearance, straw yellow in color with orange hues, fluffy white head that slowly settled into a thin sudsy skim, splotchy rings of lace follows the body down the glass, an attractive start for this wheat ale. S: Husky grains, toasted wheat and a light honey maple from the Salmiana Agave nectar, everything is framed by a citric lemony aroma. F&T: Malty moderate body, softly crisp, creamy feel in the mouth. Good wheat twang in the taste, provides a nice snap of toasted wheat to go with the lemony flavors. The agave nectar has more of a neutral sweetness than in the aroma, just a subtle sweet light colored honey taste. A delicate hop spiciness comes out in the end, adding to sprightly dry lemon honey, toasted grainy, bread yeasty finish. I thought this was a pretty enjoyable pale wheat ale, quite quaffable, I will have to pick up the bottle version sometime soon.

Pours cloudy light golden with a mostly receding wispy white head. Aroma of agave, citrus, coriander. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lively carbonation. Not impressed.
