Commercial Description:
Three Boys Wheat evokes ancient abbey ales, when yeasts were wild and spices instead of hops were added for bitterness. We use genuine Belgian yeast that with the wheat malt produces the authentic frothy head, cloudiness and huge flavours sought in this wit bier (white beer) style. The addition of coriander and citrus zest really make this beer special.

Bottle. Unique wheat beer, lemon zest and coriander dominate the flavour. Tastes a bit funny at the beginning but grew on me, definitely would have another.

(On tap) Courtesy of bozoNZ. Hazy, pale golden with a small, rough, white head. Fresh lemon and coriander aroma. Light-bodied with sweetish fruit notes, a little sulphur and coriander. The finish is dry. A decent take on a Belgian Wit. 240108

I’ve had this one in New Zealand on my honeymoon.
A bit too strong on the lemon. But a drinkable wheat afterall.

Bottle, a cloudy light gold with a filmy head. A lovely citrus yeast aroma with ground spice. A strong ginger flavour, with elderflowery and melon in a spritzy mouthfeel. A good wheat beer.

Batch 1032. Pale hazy faint yellow. Sweet lemon almost airfreshner aroma (but not in a bad way). Clean but not exactly crisp. Didn’t find it sickly sweet like others have. Wheat flavours dominate and yes, a touch on the sweet/lemoney side of things but could well imagine this on a nice warm summers day.
