Breckenridge Agave Wheat

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

Bottle -> Imperial pint glass. Crisp bordering on sour hoppy aroma. Poured a cloudy, dark golden color, with a short head which retreated quickly. no lacing whatsoever. Fairly traditional wheat flavor, with citrus and grass notes, while the agave initially presents a barely noticeable passion fruit-like flavor. As the beer goes down, a spice becomes present in the back of my throat, which I attribute to the agave. The palate is thin and ever so slightly oily, with a mild carbonation buzz for the tongue.

Bottle courtesy of jbye, thanks Josh. Pours a cloudy brown apricot with a medium sized white head that dies off quickly. Smells sweet with honey, light floral notes, and a bit of musky grain that is a bit off putting. Nice mouthfeel, little bit of fruit, cardboard. Finishes up grainy with a bit of musk melon.

Bottle. Poured a hazy light orange with a white head. Aroma of citrus and wheat. Tastes of wheat and citrus with a watery finish. It is an ok wheat.

I had high hopes for this. It really has a bland flavor. I think the hops overwhelm the agave. It looks good, and is easy to drink, but so is Keystone. For those homebrewers out there, Austin HomeBrew supply has a Agave Wheat Kit that is waay better.

Hazy orange color, thin white head. Light carbonation. Aroma is of grain. Flavor is light an drinkable. The agave is barely there, way in the background. The flavor is nice. I could drink a lot, but not the best wheat ever.

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) Pours a cloudy yellow color with a decent white head. Aroma is of wheat malt and biscuit. Not detecting much agave in the nose. Taste is a little more potent. Sour notes and light citrus hit your tongue first. Some grass and grain in the finish. In some ways it reminded me of a Berliner Weisse because of the sour wheat character of the beer. I just wish there were more robust wheat notes in here. Still a unique and somewhat refreshing brew.

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.
