Commercial Description:
Horny Goat Wheat is a Belgian-Style white beer, craft brewed with wheat, malted barley, hops and a bit of orange peel and coriander. It’s natural haze from yeast and wheat make it a classic to be enjoyed on its own, or with a slice of orange. Horny Goat Wheat loves big cans... those little 12 ounce bottles aren’t enough beer, and cans fully protect the beer from light and oxygen, producing a new level of fresh that you won’t find out of a bottle. Cans are also easier to recycle and better for the environment... as an ecologist if you don’t believe the brainiacs at Horny Goat.

Can from Mellow Mushroom (Chattanooga). Poured hazy yellow color with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sweet grainy aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Drinkable but only worth having once.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden color with nice fluffy head. Aroma is somewhat like beer. Flavor follows aroma, for the most part. Very thin body. Has qualities that suggest use of sugars or corn syrup instead of malted barley. Might go well with almonds, but I think I’ll skip the beer and just have the almonds next time.

Thanks ScottyP. Can pours a fading off-white head with a deep golden, slightly hazy body. Smells and tastes of creamed corn. FInish has a metallic edge.

From a can obtained in a trade with Erik in Indiana this poured a hazy golden color with a fat white head and good lacing for a witbier. Nose of citrus and coriander. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor of oranges and wheat malts. Decent beer but overall just kind of average.

24oz can. I’m not sure what I am in for. Pours hazy golden color, white fluffy head. Looks good so far. Aroma of a dried navel orange. It smells light and clean, as if it were opening up my airways. Some distant aromas of barley. Flavor of an all extract brew. Sweet wheat malt extract, generously watered down, a touch of fresh OJ (for presence), aged quickly in steel. Fill as many units as possible and pimp it out to whichever retailer will purchase it in bulk for a quick flip and profit. Overall, GENERIC. Finishes with a powered orange drink flavor and a light fizz on the palate.

Experienced from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a very hazy (even for a Witbier) medium to light gold, with a white head. Notes of orange come through, as do a bit of spice, but not tremendously clearly, and not to the extent that a Hoegaarden or Allagash White does. The palate is a bit thin, but not inappropriate. Notes of orange, a bit of wheaty smoothness, and just a touch of spice come through. As with the nose, the flavors do not match those represented in the best examples of the style. Overall, a great name, but a relatively pedestrian beer.

Honey yellow pour with nice white head that eventually went away. Oranges and coriandeer present, but very hard to distinguish. Little wheat aroma. Thin tasting beer. The aromas where just as hard to taste as they where to smell. It will quench your thirst, but it is not a thrilling beer to taste.

Slightly hazy gold with a short lived heat. No head. Aroma of citrus, yeast, and something a little soapy. Heavy, nectarish palate, which oddly feels a bit flat, and doesn’t fit well with the otherwise would-be refreshing flavors. Moderately sweet honeyed malt base with orange, apricot, and yeast presences, just enough hop bitterness to balance the sweetness. Yeasty finish.
