Monte Carlo Winners Wheat

Formerly brewed at Monte Carlo Brewpub at the Monte Carlo Casino
Style: Wheat Ale
Las Vegas, Nevada USA

Pale yellow in colour. Great tasting. A bit fruity. Nicely carbonated. One of the last survivors from a trip to Vegas last June.

Pale yellow with a cloudy mist inside the beer. Sharp enticing spicy aroma. Soft light beer. Long lasting light peppery finish. Tongue tingling fruit edge. Very good patio beer.

sweet orange and lemon aroma, cloudy unfiltered yellow body, but no head at all, flavor was sweet and wheaty, but had a lot of hops for a weizen, and they carried into the aftertaste, where they were joined by some lemon zing, but overall, too hoppy for me in this style, and not enough wheat character.

(on tap) Interesting that they call this unfilitered, because when I looked at it I would have sworn it was, it just didn’t have the cloudiness I would have expected from a wheat. Not much of an aroma. Flavor was slightly sweet, a little bit of a fruitiness about it. Not great. Palate? Nothing that really stood out as good or bad.

bottled sample: Pale gold in colour with a bit of haze with aromas of honeyed malt and white grapefruit. It has some minor grassy hop flavors along with a citric / astringent bite. Watery with low (as in not enough for this style) carbonation. Dispite its many flaws, this beer was still quite drinkable. Perhaps a draft sample with more carbonation would have shown a bit better. Thanks to mnurda for bringing this one back from Las Vegas.

Hazy orange appearance, with a vast squad of floating whatsits gradually settling on the bottom, and unsettling me...this is a newly purchased bottle, who knows what caused these chunks? Should I have shaken it up first? Poured it out more slowly?...head is slim to none... aroma is yeast and orange, with a twist of lemon. A bit on the sour side, more so than I expect out of a wheat. On the tongue, smooth and sweet, lacking in body and character. Very fruity, with a meek mouthfeel. Strictly for the alcopop crowd... not enough like a weizen, far from an American wheat, not like any wheat of substance. simpering, flat, and an overly-sweet, utter bore. This drains down easily enough, but provides little pleasure. Skip it if you see it.

Pours a cloudy light yellow with minimal and thin head that fades pretty fast. Aroma is skunky.(don’t understand why). Palate is thin to a little medium. Flavor is boring. Blah Their other beers like Silver State Stout and Jackpot Pale Ale are much better than this.

Cloudy yellow, thin white head. Lemony, candy sweet aroma. Familiar flavor of banana and wheat beer wang. Nice fluffy mouthfeel (and quit snickering because I used "wang" and "fluffy mouthfeel" in the same review). Zesty, crisp finish. Not bad, really.
