Lewis and Clark Miners Gold Hefeweizen

Brewed by Lewis and Clark Brewing Co. (ex Sleeping Giant)
Style: Wheat Ale
Helena, Montana USA

This beer was hazy and yellow-gold in color. Texture was pretty nice; creamy and filling. Malts were cakey and doughy, with a tasty sweetness. Nice yeasty-fresh aromas. Mild yet fitting bitterness level. Yeast esters gave it some hefeweizen qualities, but otherwise I would’ve thought it was just an American-style Wheat. Regardless of its style, it was pretty refreshing.

Slightly hazy lemon-yellow pour with a low-key white mattress of a head. Low estery aroma behind clean pale malt. No banana or spice in my beer. Harmless, average American-style wheat in every respect, with nothing special added by the yeast other than a softening of the palate.

Bought 6-pack of this while in MT and enjoyed it very much. Great American style wheat, refreshing citrusy, wheaty, and yeasty flavors. The bottle had instructions on pouring into glass and swirling the last third to get a nice cloudy look which worked great. I especially liked the concept of the new environmentally friendly 6-pack, much less waste and better for the planet...good job guys.

Tap in Virginia City. This wasn’t very good. Somewhat sour and bitter which were it’s only redeeming qualities. Very tame and limp. I managed to finish it though.

12oz bottle via my brother-in-law’s beer of the month club. Pours hazy golden with a short white head that stayed pretty well and laced some on the sides of the glass. Aromas of bannanas, cloves, and yeast. Flavor is quite yeasty with light bannana, and clove blended in. Palate is light and well carbonated making this a refreshing summer brew.

On tap. Dark cloudy yellow. Lemonade-like. Thin head. Served with 2 lemon wedges. Strong lemon aroma of course. Light yeastiness. Strong lemon flavour even without the lemons.
