El Toro William Jones Wheat Beer

Brewed by El Toro Brewing Co.
Style: Wheat Ale
Morgan Hill, California USA

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

Bottled, Brew 1265 according to the label. Poured hazy medium orange iwth a creamy, nicely-set cap of white head. The aroma picked up soft, toasty bread and honey malts topped by prickly wheat and orange zest.. tart and engaging.. surprisingly excellent! The flavor found honey and pale malts at the core.. peppery yeast, orange zest, and wheaty notes around.. spicy at the end. Lighter-bodied and tangy on the palate.. creamy carbonation supported the middle well.. spicy and memorable on the finish. Wow.. never saw this coming!

Nice misty golden color with a fluffy white head. Awesome wheaty malt taste. It’s slightly buttery on the tongue, and light and crisp in the mouth. Just a touch of the hops.

Golden brown, with a touch of lacing and a creamy head. Toasty malt flavors with just a hint of sweetness, and a little hoppy. Slightly cloudy, but just enough to make it opaque.

Usually not a fan of the American wheat beers but this one just hit the spot. Probably had something to do with the fact that I was standing in the 100 degree heat of morgan hill drinking on a cold easy brew. Has a bit rounder of a flavor than most beers of this category.

12oz bottle. Orange tan with a slight haze. Well carbonated, decent accompanying head. Sweet malty tastes with some lemony wheat. Sugary malt aroma. A little bland, and not as refreshing as you might hope for in a wheat. Ok.

Bottle. Clear golden color with slight amber hue, thin broken white head. Light malt aroma with a slight floral cast and some wet grains. Taste is mild, even the wheat characters are pretty low-key. A mild brew.

No, this is not as lame as the group average rating. Perhaps the lemons are following the bitter grudge miester.
