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.

Growler courtesy of a travelling colleague. Pours a dark golden color with tiny bubbles. Medium foamy white head that stays pretty well. Thin, patchy lacing. Aroma of wheat and light malt. Light and smooth body with soft carbonation, with subtle wheat and sweet fruit flavors. Some malt as well. Nothing comes through very strong but at the same time the interplay between the airy flavors is somewhat pleasing. Not a great beer but intriguues me to try their other offerings.

On tap at Mickey Finns. Small diminishing white head with spare lacing. Clear yellow color with no discernable aroma. Very little carbonation. Light-to-medium body that starts off with a smooth, lightly sweet, nutty malt flavor and ends with a dryish lightly bitter finish of short duration. A very enjoyable and refreshing summer beer - one of my favorites among Mickey Finns beers. I purchased a growler to savor with dinner.

Clear golden body, thin white head. Light citrus rind, grain husk, peach sweetness and wheat malt in the flavor. Wheat and light peachy fruit int he aroma. Nicely dry and hoppy finish.

On draught at the brewpub: This poured a clear, pale yellow color with a slender white head that rapidly vanishes. The aroma is fairly faint, but is somewhat grassy with a yeasty fruitiness to it. Medium-bodied, it has a refreshing banana and bubble gum taste. The finish is short and sweet. This is definitely good for the Summer.

Sample at the brewpub. Sweetish, slightly lemony nose, hazy and dull colored, sweet, simple flavor.

Definately a good beer, its a local brew in the lake county region so it can be pretty hard to find. They put a lime in mine the first time, and if you need to add fruit to a beer you need a different beer, this one is the exception to the rule, if you get a chance sample this one.

A clear gold color with a small white head. Not much better than a macro, in fact the bartender compared it to a macro lite. There are better selections here.
