5/26/2009: New Glarus Crack’d Wheat pours a wonderful cloudy orange color (opaque, really) with a persistent off-white head. The aroma is both sweet and spicy which are evident of the pleasing, toffee/wheat maltiness and the corriander-like spice. There is also a considerable amount of orangy-citrus that can be attributed Amarillo dry hopping. The flavor is a unique blend between a pale ale and German wheat beer. The banana and clove undertones fight with the wheaty, heavish pale ale characteristics. This beer has a heavier body than expected, but still quite refreshing on a hot and humid Spring day. Overall this is okay, but wasn’t what I expected and not nearly as good as Dancing Man which is my benchmark New Glarus wheat beer. Maybe this beer will grow on me after I try another one or two...
12 fl. oz. bottle from buckybeer. Thanks Mark! Score: 7/3/7/3/14=3.4

8/08/2009: I like New Glarus Crack’d Wheat much better after it has had a couple few months to settle down and meld a bit. I also like a slightly more than their Unplugged Imperial Weizen... Aroma: Clove and some hefe-like wheat with lemon and a hint of tangerine. Appearance: Bright golden color, cloudy; lofty white head of thick foam that lasts forever and leaves puffy lacing marks. Flavor: Really nice marriage of a hefe and pale ale with penty of characteristics of each coming through: creamy, yeasty, spicy (clove), lemon, and hints of banana from the hefe; moderate bitterness and sweeter citrus notes from the pale ale and dry hopping. Palate: Overall: Well done! This is a very flavorful yet moderately light and heavily refreshing beer! Grows on me more and more with each gulp!

Jun 30, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of BeerBelcher. Opaque orange pour with a one inch white head. Yeasty aroma with pepper, oranges and sweet malt. Orange flavor up front with a good amount of pepper and clove, sweet malt and a touch of bitter hops in the finish. Not a big wheat beer fan, but I love the peppery character in this with the slight hop presence. Best wheat beer I’ve had.

Jun 30, 2009 Picked up a 6 pack in New Glarus coming back from a weekend trip to Madison. Pours a nice golden hue with a thick creamy head with notes of citrus and clove. Goes down with flavors mainly of banana coriander with a touch of hop bitterness. More complex than your standard Hefeweiss. Definitely good stuff from New Glarus Brewing.

Jun 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy and gold with a sturdy near-white head. Nose is big cloves, bubblegum, lemon and cereal. Flavor is similarly spicy and citrusy. Dry, especially in the finish with light bitterness. Damn, this is a great follow-up to the Impy Weizen and one of the world’s great wheat beers.

Jun 30, 2009 Ok so I have the current highest rated wheat ale here. Not often you are chilling with the top dog of a style. Even though this style typically sucks. On to the beer! This poured a golden color with a white head. The aroma contains some cloves, bananas, bakery rolls, peaches and lemons. The flavor is really nice with some banana bread, lemons, coriander, peaches, and orange peels. Damn this is a nice beer! A complex session ale is a rare find but whoomp here it is!

Jun 28, 2009 BOTTLE: mercy, the best wheat beer I’ve had. Gold pour, nice big foamy head. Citrus, clove, and cinnamon on the nose, more of the same on taste, + Belgian spice and yeast. Crisp taste.

Jun 27, 2009 Bottle, thanks to ughsmash/ captaincougar for this one. Pour is cloudy golden color with medium white head. Aroma is citrus hops, bubblegum, wheat, clove, banana, and black pepper. Smells wonderful. Flavor is bubblegum, wheat, pepper, and peach. This beer is surprisingly crisp with very little aftertaste to speak of. Maybe a hint of wheat and bitter hop in the finish, but not much. Very tasty.
