Commercial Description:
Point Horizon Wheat is an alluring combination of spring wheat and specialty malts along with Yakima hops and American ale yeast. This lively and light, perfectly balanced wheat beer pours cloudy and finishes with a white creamy head. The glowing golden hue may help you visualize the start of a new day as early morning rays of sunshine bounce across the horizon of an American wheat field.

12oz bottle (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a murky orangish yellow with a small covering for a head. It has an aroma of citrus, wheat, and grains. Taste of wheat, grains, citrus, and grains. This light bodied brew woud be OK on a nice hot day mowing the lawn but otherwise a run of the mill wheat beer.

Bottle. Pour was ever so clear and light. Dry wheat aroma with very light wheat and strong corn flavors. Just a slight floral hint towards the end. Not so good. Corn? come on Point.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy yellow hue with a good looking white head. Aroma of wheat malts and biscuits. Sweet grain and honey in the taste. The flavor of this beer is pretty typical. Better than expected mouthfeel and body were the saving graces of this beer (surprisingly) for me. I actually liked this more than the ’Point Nude Beach’ I sampled afterwards.

White head, gone in about 1 sec. Big-bubbled, fully hazy golden beer with greenish shine. Unpleasantly starting nose with vanilla and vomit. Later more garden herbs, mixed with some vegetable frying oil. Weird. Taste proves as weird as the nose: bitter (bittering hops); vegetable: sourish-wheaty; fruitjuiceconcentrate, thinned to the max. Spritzy & empty MF. Clashing aroma’s and flavours. Below par.

Pours a hazy/cloudy yellow head. Aroma is hops and caramel. Flavor is sweet, grassy notes with hints of brown sugar. Body is light to medium with fair carbonation. Not impressed with this one.

12oz bottle. Poured a clear golden color. The head was rocky and white with good retention. Smelled of cereal grains...a little husky, even. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with a smooth mouth feel. Tasted of cereal grain, citrus fruit, and a hint of cream.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and cloudy yellow color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of grains, citrus, and wheat. Tastes of citrus (lemons) and wheat. Thinner and watery body.
