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. Amber beer with a big off-white head. Wheat, light spice, and earthy aroma. Wheat and malt flavor with light yeast and very light citrus. Medium bodied. Wheat, earth, and light spice lingers.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber gold body with a white head. Bit wheat nose, reminiscent of citrus, and lemon. Simple with a hint of hops in the finish.

Smells like grass, lemons, pale hop scent, and some eh thrown in. Dirty yellow color with a crisp over carbonated flavor. Kinda bready with some lemon, light malt and faint hops with notes of grapefruit...kind of syrupy on the palate as it warms.Not the best wheat beer. eh.

Pours a fairly cloudy light gold with a 2 finger foamy bright white head that slowly fades to a thick skim. Aroma has citrus hops, wheat, lemon, just a hint of banana and yeast. Flavor is fairly hoppy for a wheat, citrus and pine hops, wheat malt, and some yeast spice. Finish is all orange zest and spicy yeast. Pretty good for the style. Not usually a big fan of the wheats.

Pours a slightly cloudy yellow with a generous white head that almost disappears completely. Aroma is orange peel, hops, and wheat. Taste is a little over carbonated and watery with a bit of lemon. Aftertaste is cardboard.

Pours a cloudy, dark golden orange color with a thin foamy off-white head. Aroma is hoppy with hints of citrus fruit peel and banana. Tastes like a bitter, hoppy wheat beer with hints of citus fruit, lemon zest, cloves, and bananas. Slightly sour finish.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with low head. Smells cirusy and spicy. Tastes wheaty, grainy, and spicy. Hints of clove, ginger, and coriander. Nice mellow aftertaste. This is the first wheat beer i really liked and turned me on to try others. Very good.
