Speakeasy White Lightning American Wheat Beer

Brewed by Speakeasy Ales and Lagers
Style: Wheat Ale
San Francisco, California USA

Pours straw gold with a light haze to it. Soft white head caps off the body, emitting spicy citrus and wheat fumes with a light lemon quality. Palate is soft at first, but finishes crisply, the spiciness caught between the bland american wheats and the estery german varieties. This pulled a nice balance together, impressionable and refreshing, one of the better american wheats i’ve had in a while.

Light golden colored brew with no head. Light aromas of wheat, with subtle fruit and perhaps a touch of spice. Light wheaty sweetness makes up the flavor profile. I found it soft and unspectacular.

Hazy gold with little head, no lacing. Nice aroma. Taste is bready, slight sourness offset by sweet malts, carbonation is a bit much compared to European Hefes. Nice clean taste with a real bold flavor for the style. Very refreshing hot weather beer if served cold.

Pours light gold with 1-finger white head. Nose is lemon, lime, spice, white pepper, perfumy florals, peaches, and honey. Tastes limejuicy, malty, with honey, pale malt, florals, and spicy peppery notes. Palate is a tad watery, but this beer is very refreshing.

I tried this one on tap at Kclingers in Hanover, PA. Nice refreshing wheat ale with a nice combo of wheat an fruit flavors.

12 oz. bottle. Brassy gold color with a 1/4 inch white head. Aroma of light fruits, like berries and nectarines. Near medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is wheat, possibly grain, and fruit/berry. Finish is reasonably dry with berry leftovers. Not very sweet, not a heavy fruit flavor. It’s just a wheat beer that is good and very drinkable.

Draft at Popeyes - No head, light, clear golden color. Nose is like a a freshly washed fruit basket from garden. Light mouth with again lots of fruit/berry flavors. Hops are noticable. Refreshing light fruity finish. Enjoyable American wheat.

Draft - Malt & Vine; Aroma was heavy on mixed fruit - actually smelled like Fruit Loops cereal. Some banana, apple and light spice on a medium bodied wheaty malt backbone. Pretty sweet and bready. A tad bland but not bad.
