Commercial Description:
A Suburban Wheat Ale
Our same great wheat with a new name. The Wheat is brewed with approximately 50% wheat malt and 50% malted barley. The flavor of this brew is very well balanced meaning it is neither malty (sweet) or hoppy (bitter) like most of Finn’s beers, with the exception of raspberry extract added to the finished product. This is great beer to begin with if you haven't had a micro-brewed beer.

Sampler at the pub. Cloudy American Wheat appearance. Smells shows banana esters that are more at home in a hefeweizen than an American wheat. But slightly higher hop levels are appreciated. Some ale fruitiness further down. Finish has a bit of sweet roll dough to it.

Had this beer on 9/14/1999. Color is much darker than any wheat I’ve seen (other then wheat Bock ). Starting with a medium/light body that goes down crisp. Finish is where things go wrong, it has a slightly oak whisky taste. Its just a bad beer.

On tap at the Mickey Finn Brew Pub. Poured a medium golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas and tastes of wheat, grainy, and some citrus in the tastes. Thinner body.

Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Libertyville, Illinois. Thick white head atop a clear, medium yellow pour, this beer had a very faint nose of dishwashing detergent. Balanced, but not much discernable flavor. It did go down easy. Meh.
