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!

Pour is a bright cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is creamy and a bit of vanilla. Flavor is citrus with some maybe honey? Finishes with floral hops and a lemon taste i can still taste in my mouth long after the swallow. Still just a tad above average and something you could drink a lot of on a summer day.

Poured a hazy orange yellow color with a large, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat, citrus fruits, and light banana. Taste of light spices, sweet malts, some tart citrus with light banana, and a full / creamy mouthfeel.

Decent pour with a hazy yellow pour...a mildly yeast scent with some equally mild wheat notes, grass and lemon. Flavors are timid...lemon, honey, cloves, and yeast, again. But everything seems a touch attenuated...weak-sister, lackluster, and unremarkable.

Great beer that does not come on strong or finish too strong. Great beer with a great wheat flavor and just the right amount of balance between the hoppiness and maltiness. probabbly one of the best full wheat and all natural wheat beers. Light lemony and yeasty aroma. great beer

Pours a hazy straw yellow with a great big frothy, fresh powder snow white head. There is some sort of crazy smokey swirl going on in the glass. I don’t know what that’s all about. Aromas of soft wheatiness, and lemon slices, and dusty yeast. Flavors of lemons, cloves, and honey-ish malt. The body is light and finishes crisp. Not bad for a wheat beer.

The aroma has citrus and wheat with grassy hops. The appearance is a cloudy gold with a small but persistent head. The flavor is citrus like with honey, malt, and a light bitter taste. The palate is thin. The aftertaste is sweet. Even though this does not have anything wrong with it, it could be better I guess it’s just weak.

hazy gold and a small white head. sweet dull hop aroma. malty and creamy. very sweet and sugary with plenty of hops and yeast in the flavor but nothing exciting.
