Red Star American Wheat Quench

Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a pale yellow color with a large white head. The aroma was faint and a bit dry. The flavor was light and dry with a hint of wheat graininess. Not much body or flavor to it.

Sampled on draft at the brewery. The beer pours a straw yellow color with a large white head. The aroma is very faint. The flavor is indeed crisp and clean, but is lacking in character. Only a hint of wheat can be detected. While certainly not a bad beer, there is little remarkable in this one.

clear gold, fine white head, lots of lace, light malt aroma, very light flavor, well balanced with only a hint of bitterness to balance the very light wheat

Barely any wheat aroma, if any. This must be a filtered wheat because the appearance of this is ubiquitous pale yellow american lager. Not much of a head, but there is a froth present. Taste is not wheatlike as I expected. It is more like a pale lager in feel and flavor. There are no spices in the taste or texture. Yep, none of the extra bang you would find in an unfiltered wheat are present.This is very refined compared to other american wheats. Mild bitterness is present but not more than any well balanced pale lager. Mild carbonation. Finish is friendly and easy going. No offensive personality characteristics here.

Draught: This is the first beer that I have had here that I have been really disappointed in. It pours pretty much like a fizzy yellow beer. It is clear as they filter the beer. Very thin aroma. The taste is also pretty thin. There is maybe a hint of wheat in the body. Perhaps a hint of citrus, as there is a bit of a sour aftertaste. Pass on this one.

Quite possibly one of the worst microbrewed beers of all time. No i take that back, its one of the worst misnamed beers of all time. This is honestly disgraceful to call this a wheat beer. It had no flavor, absolutely whatsoever. The beer tasted like Coors Light. This sucks.
