Rock Art Whitetail Ale

Brewed by Rock Art Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Morrisville, Vermont USA

A good, light Belgian style wheat.

Clear see-through straw yellow. Some sporadic lace. Only a film of head. The smell has some lagery malt, and barley, but it’s lagery and light. A nice accent of flowery pilsnerish hop. Some bready yeast. A little funk in the malt flavor, but in a good way. Some toasted malt flavors. The hop is a nice finishing flavor. The flowery hop is unexpected. Good for style. Minor wheaty flavor. The feel is watery and with a minor film. It’s very easy-drinking, but with enough flavor to enjoy a lot of. Better than the sum of its parts.

Bottle poured a clear golden amber with a small lasting ivory head. Aromas of wheat, earthiness and light carmel. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of earthiness, wheat and carmel with a smooth dry lightly bitter finish.

Pours a cloudy orange tea color that leaves a white head that is pretty thick. The nose is fruity, syrup, honey, citrus, pretty nice. The taste starts watery on the palate bitterness starts this brew which has a bready tartness to it. It is then followed by a weak maltiness that reminds me of bland punch. A watery fruit body is all this brew is about pretty lackluster offering from Rock Art.

Very golden in color. On the thinner side. Bubbly head, not thick and creamy. Very light in the flavor department. I think I would have had more negatives for this beer had it not been so hot out when I drank it. It turned out to be quite thirst quenching. + for that that note.

Pours a clear yellow gold with a medium white head. Aroma of light spices, banana and bubble bath. Taste is light spicy with hints of grass, banana and grain. Average.

Bottle from a variety pack at the Beer Yard. Gold pour with very little lacing. The aroma was of pale biscuity malts, some fruit, honey, and grassy hops. Rather watery palate, with some fruit, grape, hop, and pale bready malt flavor hints. Gets a bit tart as it warms. Quaffable, but this won’t make the cut as a Doc Lock beer fridge entrant again.

Pours a four finger finger white head that fades quickly leaving some lace. Clear pale amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Slight hoppy nose. Flavor is honey and some bitterness from the hops. Hints of a soapy finish. $1.55 for a 12oz bottle from Gillingham’s Woodstock, VT.
