Commercial Description:
Malted wheat and the choicest American barley are combined with a blend of noble hops to create this light, fruity, refreshing beer. Brewed in the style of the American beer renaissance, Blue Star is unfiltered, the yeast adding a complex note to the flavor profile. It's especially good with a slice of lemon!

Spicy sweet citrus aromas with hints of grassy aromas. Pours cloudy orange with a dense white head. Bready, yeasty, with hints of citrus and honey. Very mild flavor.

Extreme underwhelming beer. Goes down smooth, but has little to no flavor. Is this a lite beer? Sure tastes like it...

A watery ale with a nice golden color and minimal carbonation/head. Not much going on here. Flavor is pleasant yet minimal. This is a disappointment coming from North Coast. Quite the anticlimactic experience. Very boring and little alcohol to boot. Drinkable, but that’s about it. Apparent logo/label ripoff of Newcastle (?).

Not much to this beer at all. Poured from the bottle to a hazy straw color with thin white head that dissipated fairly quickly and left okay lacing. Nose was almost non-existent, except for some mild grain. Mouthfeel was medium bodied, and the taste was again mostly grain with mild hops. Not a bad beer, but not much of a wheat, and nothing I would go to any trouble to have again.

bottle, yellow in color, mildly wheat nose, a bit light but decent overall, small wheat flavor with some light fizziness, somehow there is a play with Texas Stadium here

Bottle. Poured a hazy orange color with a very nice white head. The beer had a very pleasant aroma with a slight bit of citrus and hops. The beer goes down light and thin with a very soft carbonation. Flavor has a slight bit of citrus. I really liked this wheat ale. It does not have too much of a citrus or spice taste. I would definately recommend this beer or drink it again myself.

Bottle. Hazy yellow. Medium lasting head. Aroma is simple, some noble hops. Flavor is pleasant, mildly sweet. Wheat is perhaps a smaller % of the grist than some wheet beers. Yeast character is mild but very pleasant. Mouthfeel is very satisfactory, though it is comparatively lowly carbonated. Recipe quabbles aside, this beer was taken great care of during fermentation. Probably the best American Wheat I’ve had.
