Marzonis Highway 22 Wheat

Brewed by Marzonis Brick Oven & Brewing Co.
Style: Wheat Ale
Duncansville, Pennsylvania USA

Turbid gold pour wit lemony, hopcit aroma and taste. Smooth, citrus finish. Nicely done.

Sampler at the Allison Park location, 02.03.08 (Super Bowl Sunday).This was labeled Wildwood Wheat. Hazy, cloudy corn gold, white head. Aroma is yeasty. Flavor is spicy, tangy, wheaty, slightly meaty and bleu cheesy. Pretty darn good in my book.

On tap at the Marzoni’s in Allison Park. Here it has been renamed Wildwood Wheat to appeal to the local yocals. Served with a lemon that was promptly removed. Hazy swirling unfiltered pour. Wheat beer appearance and the color of lighter lemon ade. Cannot detect any spices in there and I like that, way too many beers of this genre are overspiced. Tho there is an absence of spices, the olfactory senses a small amount of tartness. No head. This beer is very nice and easy to like. As a wheat lover, I can appreciate this brew. SImple and witbier like. Has a slight mild building bitterness with each sip. Clean tasting with tingling carbonation. Well behaved, with manners. A really good example of what an american wheat can be like. This stuff is so refined and simple it borders on the quality of Hoegaarden. Except for that slight mild bitterness, this stuff is great. One of the better american wheats I’ve ever tasted. Thanks Marzoni. This probably should fall under the witbier style as it blows away most american wheats.

Sample at the brewpub. Opaque yellow pour with a frothy white head. Lemon and citrusy hop aroma with some wheat and malt. Wheaty flavor with lemon, a bit of tartness and a bitter finish.

Just recently installed company just down the road form me, I was very excited to try these beers. This was a decent representation of the style, but nothing to write home about.

Light citrus, wheat aroma (though some of the citrus may have been from the lemon wedge). Cloudy light amber gold with no head (sampler glass, lemon oil from rind perhaps). Medium body with light to medium carbonation. Nice wheat taste, bazooka gum aromatics, banana. Starts light bitter, touch of sweetness, light acid. Good malt ester finish and medium bitter. Lemony bitter after. I’m not a fan of American wheats, but this was very well done.

Tap, sampler glass. Cloudy golden unfiltered wheat appearance. Aroma of stronge orange/mandarin. Sour citrus flavor follows the aroma, tangy tangy beer. Sour remains as a residual aftertaste. Sticky thick in the mouth, not very refreshing at all....made me thirsty.

Pours a very hazy bright yellow color with some fizzy white head. Very tart lemon flavor. Light and watery. Slight banana flavor and smell. Overall, mediocre.
