Tommyknocker Jack Whacker Wheat Ale

Brewed by Tommyknocker Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Idaho Springs, Colorado USA

Pours a murky honey gold with a creamy, 2 finger, white head that has good retention. Aroma is wheat, fruity notes, buttery toffee, banana taffey and some planty hops. Flavor is wheat, waffle cone, banana, light citrus, buttery toffee and some light floral notes. Finish is pretty tame just some mild bread and fruit notes along with some spice. Palate is light bodied with a neutral entry leading to a slightly dry, chalky finish. This is an odd, somewhat interesting wheat ale that just doesn’t pay off in the end, but is still pretty inoffensive.

"Interesting beer. Pours a hazey bright golden colour with a full creamy top. Aroma is pleasent with noticeable lemongrass right away. Some yeasty esters. wheat and banannas on the nose. Taste is pleasent with some soft spices, firm citrus notes and just a hint of bitter hops in the finish. Great for a hot day!

Pours a hazy gold color with a quick diminishing small white head. Typical fruity aroma of a wheat ale...hints of strawberry, apple & peach. Taste is sweet malt, a little fruity, lightly hopped, some herbal flowery flavor, maybe a touch of honey. Semi-dry finish, light mouthfeel...maybe a little on the watery side. A good summer time drink. Highly drinkable, refreshing, lots of different flavors.

Smells yeasty. Party cloudy and yellow with a white head. Citrusy and bland taste with a thin palate. Summer beer, but not too exciting.

Hazy orange gold with a tiny white head. Mild aroma of wheat and citrus. Malty flavor with a hint of grain. Meh. Unremarkable.

Pours a cloudy orange with a very big white foamy head and some fine chunks of yeast. Aroma is pretty plain of wheat with a very very very light lemon note. Flavor is light lemon, wheat is very thin in flavor for being a wheat beer and the barley really seems to come through. Density, carbonation and lacing are all of the typical wheat beer style. Overall another beer produced by Tommy Knocker that I find not offensive but just not really worth drinking.

Cloudy golden color with an amber tint and a medium off white head. Aromas of wheat and citrus. Body is moderately malty and the flavor has hints of wheat, yeast and lemon grass with a slightly tart finish.

Not that great. Pours a nice hazy amber color with thick white head, but it goes downhill from there. Aroma smells moldy and flavor has nothing really tasty about it. Says its brewed with lemongrass, but I tasted nothing citrus about it. Easy to drink but prob wont drink it again.
