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!

I got this at Chips in the Outer Banks of NC. It was similar to the tang I find in apricot ales but of a different fruit flavor and it had a pretty light finish. This beer is a bit nicer than say Sam Adams summer ale but that is about as good as it gets in my book. My wife thinks Sam Adams is slightly above this one.

Nice dirty blonde pour with very little head. Definate wheat with something a little odd about it...but hey, it could be my frozen glass. Very light and slightly sweet...pretty darn thin and just shoots to the back of my mouth. Great for a 102 degree Houston summer day!

Pours hazy yellow with no much of a head. Light flavor of wheat and some hops. Not a whole lot going on here. Drinkable.

Hazy blonde color, light gold. Small head, light lacing. Nose of light christmasy pine tree smelling hops with sweet molasses infused wheat. The flavor is light & sweet, vaguely bland, lightly husky. The finish is thin, lightly sweet & hoppy.

Fluffy head with a cloudy amber body. Nose is a touch astringent with wheat and citrusy hops. Flavor is of wheat and some lemon citrus. Grassy almost. Body is thin with a weak citrusy finish.

One problem with wheat beers is they rarely look or smell good. The other problem is they rarely taste good either. This is a prime example of that. I have most of this six-pack waiting in my fridge for me to give it away.

Murky and buff colored with no head. Soft and fruity wheat aroma with some spicy hops. Light and sweet on the tongue with some citrus and spiciness in the flavor. Finishes quick and watery but has a small amount of tingliness on the palate remaining. Clean and refreshing over all with the level of character you would expect from an American Wheat.
