Ernest (4179), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jun 3, 2002 Draught. Medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (light bread, cereal), lightly hoppy (flowers), lightly yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is moderately acidic. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Marketed as a German wheat, but the lack of clove/banana esters puts this one in the more lackluster American wheat category for me. The acidity is of the rather dull/unfresh variety, not the zesty and refreshing type, so this may have been an old keg.
