Market Street Frau Blucher Wheat

Brewed by Market Street Pub (FL)
Style: Dunkelweizen
Gainesville, Florida USA

This review is from memory but this has been discontinued: I think this is supposed to be a dunkelweizen, light brown color. It was very sour, I am pretty sure this beer was contaminated or made with malt extract. This convinced me never to drink another MSP homebrew.

On tap at the Market Street Pub. Pours clear amber with zero head. It appears to be well under carbonated. The aroma is like tart fruit candy, red licorice vines, blueberries and black currants. The taste has a brief moment of a sweet malty pulse moving into modest levels of red wine like barrel notes and vinegar tartness. The tartness thins out revealing mild sweetness and a sense of both sweet and tart black currant flavors. The tartness isn’t out of control and it isn’t like a typical infection type tartness either. It seems like it has been aged in slightly funky red wine barrels. It seems more like a Kriek than a “traditional dunkle wheat” as they are calling it.

Tap @ Market Street. pours ruby/amber, no head Really wonder how to cat. this beer that in some aspect seemed more like a dark kriek. Aroma had some notes that reminded me of a low key sour with some woody aspects, hints of black currants. Flavor, well under carbonated, a little amateurish, vinegary, some tart fruits with black currants. It’s a homebrew you’d like to enjoy but has hints that indicate to just a poor quality. Shows it as a wheat with dunkel aspects and sure couldn’t find any hints of wheat in this beer. Not sure if the beer went bad. There close to no head and no carbonation to speak of.

Clear coppery-brown warm color with small white head. Strange fruity aroma includes phenols. Soft carbonation. Bready qualities redeem what is otherwise an exceptionally thin amateur beer that seems like it was brewed in the Beer Machine.

It’s got a dunkelweizen chestnut colour with some haze but no head. It’s tart, with the gasoline-like notes typical of a malt extract brew. Very homebrewish. I’ve made beer like this before and I wouldn’t charge money for it.

On pub in Gainesville - Very dark for a wheat, had to ask the waitress that this was indeed a wheat. Amber hue with little head, no lace, filtered. Nose was citrusy and spicy with bubblegum, dough, honey, and aromatic hops. Taste was very much like the aroma, lemon and allspice upfront with a thin hop crispness towards the finish, had lingering spice. Thin-bodied, watery and fizzy mouthfeel, slight metallic aftertaste. Well it's different, not bad but not very wheat like. Is it a hybrid?
