Commercial Description:
American Wheat Ale Wheat Monkey Ale captures the fresh, unfiltered spontaneity of our brewers’ creativity. Crisp and refreshing year-round, this American Wheat Ale pours a lazy, hazy golden color. Its large, white, foamy head can be attributed to the generous amount of malted white wheat added to the mash. The aroma is enhanced by our fruity house ale yeast and its fresh baked bread flavors are perfectly balanced with a Cascade hop addition.

Cloudy golden orange color with a thin white head. Aroma of wheat and citrus. Taste is sweet and a little bit tart with wheat, yeast and a hint of orange. An average wheat ale.

Draft at Lakefront. Banana and wet grain aroma, not completely pleasant. Body and carbonation fit but the flavor is a little off, it’s like there’s another grain in there contributing unfamilar flavors. Might be flavors from the yeast but more likely the mash temps weren’t quite right (too warm). Unfortunately, not worth tasting again, at least for me.

Clear yellow with a white foam. Aroma is wheaty, citrusy, but empty. Taste is soured wheat, some spice and lemon.

Bottle Pours a cloudy orange gold with a deminishing thin white head. For as small as the head was laces fairly well. Has a strong grain aroma with some wheat. Has a decent carbonation. The flavor is very grainy with some wheaty sweetness. Has a light body. The texture is watery. Has a weak finish and a mild aftertaste. Not awful but not great. Most likely the last one of these I drink.

I had this at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee after drinking a large sampler of beers from the Water Street Brewery. This was pretty good, standard wheat ale that went down smooth with a good head. Would have again, maybe in a more sobering situation.

From a bottle at SB&WF 2009. Cloudy golden, small white head. Bleak melon aroma with some soicy notes. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation. Dry finish. Very bland.

On draught during the Great Taste of Midwest 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy golden pale colored brew with an average sized white head that slowly dissipates. Aroma of golden grain malt with wheat, some sweet banana esters, a hint of orange zest and bread dough. Taste is medium bodied, plenty of carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, some bubblegum, banana, a hint of clove and a touch of citrus. Finish is semi-sweet, with a nice balanced yeast and grain aftertaste that slowly disappears.

Another bland American wheat beer. Drinkable, but not something that I’d go out of my way for.
