New Glarus Crackd Wheat Ale

Brewed by New Glarus Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
New Glarus, Wisconsin USA

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow gold body with a great 2 finger frothy white head. Nice perfumy and floral nose with a bit of yeast, a touch of marshmallow, wheat and dry hay. Perfumy, hoppy, with a nice tropical fruit and spicy finish, very complex and full flavored for such a light beer. Light bodied and easy drinking with great lively carbonation. What a great refreshing beer. The yeast really made some great things happen here.

bottle, pours hazy bright gold, medium frothy white head. Bannana and clove nose, some sweet notes, maybe honey? Definately some bazooka joe kind of aroma hanging out. Nice wheaty malt filled body, tons of carbonation that really pops on the tounge with clove and esters riding a mild finish. Some clove lingers.

Bottle from MrPickles. Hell of a nice wheat beer. I think this is my new favorite wheat beer, and by far the spiciest wheat ale I’ve every had. Strong nice of clove and yeast. Flavor is serious.. with heavy hints of clove, tangy citrus, and other spices. Many of the flavors you get out of other similar beers, but stronger. Nice sharp finish. I really enjoyed this one. Good stuff.

courtesy of goryshkewych. Pours cloudy straw, thick white head. Aroma is fruity, sweet citrus and note of wheat. Flavor, wheat, spices, cinnamon and hops. Mouthfeel has notes of spices, smooth with light tingly finish.

12 oz bottle courtesy of alagnak. Pour is hazed straw yellow with a big 3 inch white head which is quite lasting. Eventually falls with nice streaked lacing. Some visible carbonation bubbles. Aroma of earthy floral wheat, soft honey and mild apricot hop. Perhaps a touch of bubblegum in the back. Nice soft and fresh nose. Taste is clove apricot peach and the wheatiness. Earthiness and mineral come across cleanly as well, as with the nose. There is some banana yeast way in the finish, along with a white pepper spice. Not a strong spice, but wakes it up in the finish. Palate is medium, creamy mouthfeel, carbonation level is nice making it quite drinkable. This is a nice style bender, had some Hefe, some Saison some wit and some straight Wheat ale characteristics. Nice one, thanks Chris.

12 oz bottle after a hard days work moving a friend into Wisconsin. Pours a light cloudy golden orange with a creamy white froth. Really nice wheat and citric fruity hops, just perfectly in balanced, nice banana clove spiciness and a bready character. Very fresh, tangy fruitiness. Flavor starts with a fresh crisp citric, followed quickly by the coriander, clove character. Gets a mellow banana (with peel?) flavor before finishing spicy with a hops and leaving a dried fruit flavor along with a mild bitterness. Medium body and a sharp fizzy carbonation. Really refreshing and zesty after a long day of heavy lifting.

Cross between a good hefe and a blue moon. Banana and clove in the front end with some moderate hops. Similar to Bell’s oberon but with a little more hops.

Bottle thanks to BarrytheBear (BA)!
Opaque straw-yellow with a nice sized, fizzy white head. Nose and flavor both of wheat, banana, and lemon. More sweetness in the flavor, a little too much in fact. Would prefer a cleaner wheat profile.
