Dundee Wheat Beer

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

Bottle: This poured like an American wheat, orange and hazy, with a bit of the requisite yeasty sediment. Why do American brewers call their American wheats hefeweizens ... it’s different .. and so is this. Gristy and musty on the nose, citrusy and sweet, rathery than clovey and yeasty. This doesn’t drink much differently than a lot of American golden ales. Well made, pleasantly balanced. I suspect it loses props in the ratings (including mine) due to the inappropriate and presumptive name. (#3066, 8/27/2007)

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a thin head. Some citrus, maybe wheat in the aroma. Light, sweet taste but not much of a hefe. Some hops, but nothing that characterizes this beer as a wheat.

Smells very faintly of sweet malts. By faintly I mean barely there. Pours a very very incredibly light straw color. Pretty much yellow. Color reminds me of cheap beer. Taste is very weak hints of banana with the overly dominant wheat malt flavor. I would not call this a hefe. If anything it is a bad american wheat. Not something I would drink a lot at all...

An American wheat? Just as confusing as is the description. Unfiltered wheat beers are usually hefeweizens but what makes an American hefeweizen an American wheat when other American brewers make Hefeweizens and wheat beers and are classified as German wheat beers? It is like the Abbott and Costello skit, whose on first? Well it is hazy with a med creamy head. A stale cardboard aroma. A bland Wonderbread taste. I guess that is what makes it an American wheat, cheap ingredients and very PC.

Hazy dark strawish pour with aroma of slight hopcitrus, some lemongrassy malt, and slight spicy notes. Medium to light palate heft, with some hopcitrus, lemony hints, and mild fruit. Not a great hefe.

bottle. clear light golden pour. thin white head. slight malt nose with definate lemon scents.

also got this in the craft pack for 9.99 in NH, poured into bottle and really enjoyed this. Has slight lemony taste and is very refreshing. not too sweet.

Got a pair of these in the JW Craft Pack. Didn’t expect to care for this at all, but was pleasantly surprised. Light orange, slightly hazy look, with a big white head in a weizen glass. Smell is definitely lemony, and light wheaty malt. Big Carbonation, with a light taste at first with lemon and acidity, followed by a finish of wheat and sweetness. Very decent American wheat.
