El Toro William Jones Wheat Beer

Cloudy gold color. Smells like cereal. Flavor is a bitter lemon bite upfron with a lingering wheaties flavor. I could see this being a nice thirst quencher.

Drinkability: 6/10
Score: *+/4

Appearance: Pours a very light, clear yellow body with a decent white head. Smell: Faint aroma of lemons, wheat, and even less spicy hops. Taste: Exeptionally faint toasted wheat flavor with a light sweetness. The finish, if you can really call it that, has only the lightest touch of hops. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Pretty dull and lackluster even for an American Wheat Ale.

Pours a transparent pale golden with an effervescent, airy, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of mildly sweet wheat and some sweaty hops and light fruity esters. Body starts with a lot of carbonation, light pale malty sweetness and some mild earthy bittering hops toward a pretty bland, but smooth finish. A standard American wheat.

From a 12 oz. bottle with no freshness date. Poured a hazy yellowish golden with a large foamy, fluffy white head, good retention, plenty of ringed sticking. Aromas of a bread powdery, lemon honey and a very light spiciness. Good carbonation and a crisp, smooth medium-light bodied mouthfeel. Kind of bland tasting, lemon bubble gum, a bland wheat grassy, a soft spice hoppiness towards the end and a dry malty finish. A passable wheat ale, but not one I would want on a regular basis, can’t see myself drinking more than two bottles of this without becoming bored.

A really good "light" beer on very hot days here in the south valley.

Bottle with "Brew 997" stamped on it. Clear dark golden body under a small but dense white head - goopy lacing. Melon/berry aroma with with a grassy wheat base. Zesty flavor - lemon grass and sage over clean wheat. Some astringency in the dry finish. A hot day beer for sure.

Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of lemons, honey and light wheat. Tastes of pretty much the same with the wheat coming through a little stronger. Both the aromas and tastes on the lighter side with the body on the thinner side.
