Breckenridge SummerBright Ale

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

had this with the swmallest portioned order of fish and chips known to man. i like a good "american wheat" whatever that is. i’ve had great summer quenchers that have that light citrus hint, and a clean quenching finish that leave you feeling like you just sucked down a clean glass of wayter after mowiung the yard and screwing against the fence, but with a tinge of alcohol and grain. that is a good beer. this is not. odd yellow pour, white head. nose was lemon pledge. tasted like dust a bad pilsner and well, nothing, thats it, nothing. if you want a nice glass of nothing, well, here you go, have a good one, i miss cumberland brews right now so much.

I liked this one better than most. Bottle from Capone’s, consumed under my deck umbrella on an 80 degree day. Clear medium gold color with 1-finger white head that lasts for awhile. Aroma of pale malt, apricot, hopcitrus. Tastes pale malty, with mild honey, citrus, and hop notes. Nothing outstanding here, but I don’t expect wheat beers to knock me on my ass with technical or innovative brewing techniques. For what this is, it is a refreshing summer brew, and that’s all I need it to be.

Bottle - from sampler pack. Light golden, very clear. Pretty bland. No weizen flavor at all.

I found this beer to be rather boring and rather unredeeming. I was expecting something like Leinie’s Sunset Wheat, and I got a beer that was quite dull and indistinct. Appearance was a pale yellow with a minimal amount of Sprite-like head. Aroma was corny and very faintly sweet. Flavor was very lightly fruity, but there wasn’t much to it. Mouthfeel was slightly sticky. Not much to recommend it, and coming from Breckenridge I expected something better. A 12oz bottle I picked up at Three Cellars in S. Milwaukee.

12 oz bottle. Place for date code on the lable not notched.

Clear dark yellow with a billowy white head that drops quickly and leaves minimal lace.

Aromas of bananas and earth with some sourness.

Flavor is a touch tart, with some dry wheat.

Drinkable yes, but with so many other choices why would you.

Straw color with a quickly vanishing head of white bubbles. Hints of a wheat field next to an mowed alfalfa field. Faint rubber underneath. Wheat and corn flavors come together to create the taste of a light malt liquor. I say this as the alcohol does seem to be evident and only lightly hidden by a touch of lemongrass.

12 oz bottle-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is faint, sweet grain. Taste is sweet grain, honey? Mild flat hops. OK carbonation.

Possibly breckenridges worst beer. Was this made to compete with the big beers? Super light, almost non-existent body. Bitter grassy bite. Watered down beer. Shouldn’t this come in a can?
