Mountain Sun Arctic Wheat

Sampler at the Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery, Boulder 12/10/2008 Herb aroma. Clear golden coloured with a spicy lemon grass flavour. Crisp and refreshing. A little wheat in a dry finish.

Draught at Vine Street Pub. Pours hazy yellow with a spare, white head, mostly diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is average malt (straw, meal), light hops (flowers), average yeast (dough) with notes of apples and lemon. Light bodied, thin texture, soft carbonation, and a chalky finish. Short duration, light sweetness, acidity and bitterness.

This was not really my taste. Had it on draft at the beer pub first beer of my second sampler.

This was interesting, I am not sure about how I feel about the lemongrass, but I do like the spearmint as a bittering agent. Tastes kind of like a beer tastes after you have brushed your teeth, clean minty mouthfeel, with a very light butterscotch and cereal maltiness.

golden/hazy thin head. spearamint, wheat aroma. light. minty wheat and light perfume. Different.

Poured hazy with a little head. The flavor was interesting. The mint flavor didn’t come out until the beer warmed up. The mint flavor was perfect on the hot day I drank this beer. Perfect summer beer.

white yellow with a lasting head. aroma is light, a bit herbal but not off-putting. tastes like some soap smells. the pine mint does come out, but does not dominate( unless you let it get a bit warm, i don’t recommend cellar temp for this one, keep it cold) & leaves a fresh flavo. not one i’d order again, but fun. 3 6 5 3 11

A hazy pale yellow beer with a smal disappearing but lacingl white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of yeast, wheat, citrus, and hops. The flavor has a nice sweetnes with light notes of wheat, but stronger notes of citrus, that leads to a dry hoppy end, but the body is thin. A very refreshing beer.
