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!

(bottle) Hazy gold with minimal head. Citrus aroma. Flavor is light, some citrus, not as yeasty as the haze would make you expect. A nice summer wheat beer.

12 oz bottle. Orange-brown with a mostly-melted-marshmallow head. Lemon, citrus and stale wheat. Full mouth but little carb. More orange and hops than lemon and wheat in taste. Some banana after. Leans more to a hefe in body but lacks the vibrancy.

Pours out a light golden colour with a bubbly minimal head that caches on the side of the glass. Beer is active and perky with various sizes of bubbles rushing up from the bottom. Taste is very malty and refreshing with obvious wheat flavour. A light toffee/caramel note intersperses through the malt and wheat character. Taste is bubbly and cheerful upon the palate inviting further tastes but as the flavour builds up it leaves a sort of sour residue. A flavourful beer for a nice hot day reminiscent of a homebrew

Pours into glass a hazy golden with a white head that quickly reduces to a thin lacing. Has a tart lemon, floral and fruity wheat malts aroma. Taste for me was a fruity wheat malts, floral hops with a medium body and a tart lemon aftertaste. A decent offering from North Coast that I would buy again, especially if it was on sale.

(bottle - 12 oz) Hazy grapefruit colored pour with a very small amount of foam and nice carbonation. Aroma is rather light. What I could smell was pretty much grain and wheat. Kind of sour. Flavor is very sweet, grainy, and sour. Thin and offensive. Very unpleasant on the palate. Thin, watery, and sour.

Pours a dingy straw color with a medium sized white head. Aromas are of grass, yeast, lemon and wheat, and flavor is more of the same, maybe with a touch of coriander in the background. Quite refreshing.

12 oz. bottle. Pours hazy gold with thin white head. Faint aroma of malts, yeast and grains. Flavor is wheaty and a bit of a sour finish. Nothing special. Very poundable on a hot summer day.

Pretty nice wheat. Would like a bit more yeast in the bottle for the truly yeasty experience, but nice on a hot day.
