North Coast Blue Star

Brewed by North Coast Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Fort Bragg, California USA

I liked this beer more than most of the reviews I see below. Nice, medium bodied, creamier than usual, wheat beer. Hazy, golden, decent head. Well balanced and fairly complex while staying very drinkable and refreshing. Not overtly wheaty/estery which is what I like about the American Wheat category.

Deep hazy gold hue and a soft white foam. There’s a good aromatic mix of fruity malts, honey and citrus toasty flavors. It rounds out with mild mellower maltiness and some sweet lemon flavors, while the citric bitterness also linger. Not the best, but interesting.

Very pale yellow. No head. Body is malty, but very sweet and lacking taste. Hardly any bitterness. I am assuming that this is North Coast’s attempt to reach the macro consumers.

Bright golden body that is fairly cloudy. Has a medium white head. The aroma is slight lemon with a little touch of grass. The flavor is a little bubblegum and some pears. It also has a full finish of some grass. Definitely has more character than most american wheats.

i dunno, i guess some would say this should get a decent score for being an above average wheat but it is a terrible style. some lemon zest in the aroma, plenty of wheat flavour

Great Beer (bare with me its my first rating) i love the taste of this beer, its very refreshing and one of the better wheat beers i have come across. The golden appearance is very inviting.

pours a hazy golden brown. thick fluffy white head. surprisingly hop smelling for a wheat beer. refreshing lemonish flavor. sweet finish. this would rock on a hot day, and today is a hot one.

Bottle. Hazy gold with a thin dense off white head. Nose is fruity and wheaty. The primary flavor notes are wheat, candy banana, a hint of orange peel, hops, peanuts (slight), and a tad bit of honey on the back end. Finish is crisp and has a touch of dryness. Overall this isn’t bad. It is a little on the watery side, but it still has some flavor.
