OHanlons Goldblade

Brewed by OHanlons
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Whimple, England

Poured from the bottle with a massive head, a virtual castle of tiny white bubbles that took seemingly decades to recede. Inviting lemonade aroma draws you in. The flavor is yeasty at first, but is predominately lemon and then spices after that. It is a bit thin, but otherwise an extremely drinkable summertime wheat ale. Well done.

Bottle Conditioned. Mine was as clear as a bell. sticky yeast clung to the bottom of the bottle and refused to budge. Nice spicey and rounded flavour, dry clear flavour with great zingy hops. A very good British version of wheat beer. Re Rated 11.1.04 Even better than last time, for a low abv beer this packs a surprising amount of flavour. Beautiful light hoppiness with a full spicey malt.

500ml bottle from Morrisons. My second cracking O’Hanlons beer in a week following the Port Stout. Cloudy gold with thin white head. Lemon, cereal and well chosen hops on the aroma. Good in mouth, not overly fizzy, good depth of flavour. Nicely fragrant on the end. Touch of peachy fruit too. Good wheat beer.

Best before May 2006, this poured a colour rather darker than most other wheat beers I’ve had and was a bit on the hazy side as well. The head was substantial, foamy and white. Aroma was of grass and also was tart. Taste was sharp and bitter for a wheat, but sweetened up in the aftertaste. Quite a different wheat beer than I’m used to; liked it!

Light golden color with a tall light ecru head. Certainly smells like cascade to me. Starts with somewhat bitter hops, and then to a citric light wheat and malt flavor. Finish is somewhat dry, but but has a touch of sweet malt to bring it all together. I've never had a APW (American Pale Wheat) before, but I sure wish this is the way that they would brew one in the States; instead of the insipid "cream of wheat" drivel. While I have not been a fan of the brews from this brewery, this one is outstanding. Note to Ernesto... I think it is more Druideckii (sp?) then Bret. in the yeast profile.

Cloudy yellow out of the bottle with a big, fluffy white head. Crisp, clean clove nose. Tastes of orange peel, pine, clove and an almost mint herbal flavor. The hops in the finish impart more of a grapefruit bitterness. Very nice beer, especially in the American wheat style. Thanks to PsychProf for the recommendation.

Unique, bursting with herbal hoppiness, yeasty fruitiness, and quenching wheaty acidity. Complex and flavourful - a standout amongst American-style wheats.

This beer rocks. Bottle conditioned with yeast floaties in it. Pours light orange with a big fluffy white head. Not at all like a German wheat, more like an American pale ale. Mildly citrusy and moderately hopped, this goes down well. Very good. Available in Georgia of all places.
