Breckenridge Hefe Proper Ale

Formerly brewed at Breckenridge Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Denver, Colorado USA

Pours a cloudy amber with a good head. The aroma is nice enough. Some clove like aroma, a little bit of bandaid. The flavor has enough wheat backbone to keep from being lifeless, but it comes across watery at times.

12oz bottle. Poured a slightly hazy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of wheat and lemons. Tastes of wheat and lemons, with a very light tart finish. Thin body.

From a 12 oz. bottle with a notched bottled on date along the left side of label, "enjoy with lemon" on the lower right corner. Poured a hazy orangey golden with a foamy white head that settled into a thin sudsy lacing. Bland aromas of wheat malt, dusty, musty yeast and slightly hayish. For my taste, a bit too overcarbonated for a good hefe weizen or a pale wheat, a little fizzy and a crisp, smoothish medium bodied mouthfeel. Bland tasting wheat malts, a little earthiness to the malts, soft musty hay, a very subtle citric, trying to be orangey, and a dryish salty, malty finish. After I did my reviewing notes, I tried this with a slice of lemon and I have to say that it did improve the taste, but still, with all wheat beers out there, I’ll be passing on this in the future.

One of the more ’available’ drinkable beers from Breckenridge. An unfiltered wheat, sediment and all. Light and crisp and if you roll it, get the citrus spices. Not quite as clean as wheats can be.

I got this beer in a 12oz bottle. The pour was a milkey yellow body that produced a nice white head. The smell was of a very light lemon and grass. This is not a very flavorful beer with hardley any taste to is. The mouthfeel is dry and light. It goes down easy but that is about all i can say.

On tap at Breckenridge Pub 9/28/06. Pale straw color, cloudy, small head. Aroma is extremely light, maybe some lemon but missing the traditional hefe aromas. Flavor - more like an american wheat. Soft malt, slight sweetness from wheat, sharpness from hops and carbonation. Clean. Overall, a well made beer, easy to drink....but definitely not a hefe. If they called it an american wheat, I’d have rated it a lot higher.

sampled at brewpub. Hazy golden, light orange. Light wheat and lemon in the aroma. Same in the taste, watery body.

tap at brewery. snowing in september. hazy golden pour with minimal white head. fresh mild aroma of wheat and lemon. wheat, a little sour and lemon. caramel malts peak in at the end.
