The Brewhouse Montecito Street Wheat

On tap at the Brewhouse. Pours with a very small, wispey white head. Slightly hazy body. Aroma of honey annd wheat. Taste is a bit corny with tons of astringent wheatiness in the finish. Fizzy and dry.

draught at the brewpub. Cloudy dark yellow with a creamy head. Funky yeasty aroma with a tad bit of banana. Wheaty flavor with banana, some light spice, and a tart finish. A little unclean tasting on the whole, and the overly creamy, yeasty mouthfeel makes it worse. A reasonable hef, but I’d like it a little leaner and cleaner.

Not the best hefe Ive ever had, but not the worst either. Smelled nice and citricy, and the flavor was pretty good, although it had a hay taste that i didnt care for. I think the main thing that I didnt like about this beer was the palate. It almost made my throat feel scratchy (although at the time I had this beer I was starting to get a cold, so that might have had something to do with it). I would like to try this one again and see what I thought. Overall decent, but not great.

Draft at brewery, 02/18/08. Slightly hazy golden beer. Good head retention. Couldn’t detect any aroma. A little sweet with typical wheat flavor. Yeasty on finish. Easy to drink., but I personally prefer German style wheat with clove, banana and spice flavors. Looks like they changed the formula since the previous reviewer had some.

Hazy golden yellow colour with a white medium sized head. Aroma was wheat and tons of peppery spice. Had some malts and wheat with a touch of citrus but was overwhelmed with pepper and clove. It was almost like someone brought out the pepper cracker and added a bounch to the beer.
