Dundee Wheat Beer

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Rochester, New York USA

<i>12 oz bottle.</i> Slightly hazy amber with a loose cream head; slightly spicy citrus aroma; fresh citrus flavours with good bitterness and some spice towards the finish. Very pleasant and refreshing, but not a typical wheat beer.

Poured very clear for a wheat beer. Aroma was not very interesting, maybe some hops. Taste was mainly of wheat, but there were some strange spices and the finish left a bad taste in my mouth. Not a great wheat beer.

Cloudy golden color with a foamy white head and a light hop aroma. Typical american hefeweize but little on the pale side.

Near cloudy straw colored liquid. Thick, fairly lasting white head. Aromas of wheat, pale malt and hints of floral hops and lemongrass. Wheat, light honey and lemon in the flavors. Simple wheat/american ale. Quite typical and boring.

Smells like butter & cheese, strangely. Looks clear golden with bubbles. Flavor is buttery / cheesy / watery / not so much wheaty...maybe the buttery / cheesy taste is somehow yeast, but I dunno...tastes weird to me. The palate is light and about two or three dimensional. There is little carbonation. My overall impression is positive but underwhelmed.

Bottle. Mealy, grainy wheat with honeyish malt and faint coriander. Some orange rind / juice. Pours golden with nary a head. Taste is very dusty and water-sucking, but there’s this awkward minerally straw note that moves to dominate and just ickies things up. Spice is weird, and no longer resembles coriander. Light body with a bit of sickly, metallic malt. Ugh!

Bottle. Stale fungus and blue-cheese (stinky feet aroma) with unconstrained sugar. I doubt it’s a bad bottle though. More stale fibrous cardboard, too. Golden body with light but continuous carbonation and a lacing white head. Taste is alternatively sappily-malted and dry cardboard, and a maladroit touch of wheat. Light watery body. All in all a bad experience - why do we put ourselves through this!

Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 12 oz bottle - part of mixed 12 pak. Murky medium gold pour with a thin white head. Orange marmalade in the aroma with some slight funkiness. Odd flavor with some brief citrus, some toe jam, a hint of peach jam and some unidentifiable spice. Too carbonated mouthfeel. Somewhat forgettable.

Pours golden yellow with a nice head and lacing, aroma has slight citrus hop notes, flavor is modest barley & wheat notes, balance is nice with not much standing out anywhere, Basically a light session ale
