Southern Tier 422 Pale Wheat Ale

Brewed by Southern Tier Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Lakewood, New York USA

Pale gold with good, creamy white head / Musty nose of grain and honey / Light to medium body, creamy with moderate carbonation and good fruit, and good, dry finish / Perfumed, resinous flavors of grain, grass, lemon, and honey / Probably reflecting my general disinterest in wheats, I enjoy this more substantial one, reminiscent of a Dortmunder.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a small white head. Aroma of wheaty/bready malt, some light fruits, clove, and pepper. Flavor of sweet fruits and citrus initially with a bready malt finish. Basic but good. Very drinkable. Not too wheaty actually. I’m surprised by such low ratings of this beer, I found it very enjoyable. 7/4/8/4/14 [3.7/5]

Pours slightly hazy, golden body with no head. Aroma is sweet lemon drop candy and lemon peel. Taste is resfreshing with a pleasant mouthfeel.

courtesy of Antonio Ruiz - pours a hazy blond colour with little persistent white foam; matured bananas and litchies in the nose; creamy mouthfeel and medium-bodied, quite sweet, fruity and almondy finish with some residual sweetness - unusual and interesting

Bottle@Home. Aroma is citrus, fruity hops and hints of banana. Clear, pale yellow colour, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, light bitter, citrus, hoppy, hints of banana and tangerine, light bodied. Flavourful and refreshing.

Found this one bottled at Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Clear, bubbly, light golden pour with a thick, foamy white head, grassy, lemony nose, balanced wheaty flavor with a bit of citrusy hops. Easy drinking finish. Not terrible but whatever.

Pours clear pale gold into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention. Mild wheat aroma. Sweet summer fruits and wheat from front to back. Crisp finish.

From a bottle poured straw color with a good amount of head. Nice light refreshing hoppy flavor with a quick finish.
