Tommyknocker Jack Whacker Wheat Ale

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

12oz bottle from Total Wine (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy yellow golden with a thin white, frothy white head. Aroma is wheat, grain, sour ripe fruit, grass, honey, malty sweetness. Flavor is most bready with notes of honey, sweet malt, faint spice, slight tangy citrus. Light-bodied, slightly watery with some slight notes of bitterness of finish. Probably better than it is rated here.

Slightly spicy apple cider aroma. Hazy light orange color with some white foam. Apple flavor with a moderate palate.

Soft fruit and citrus nose. Hazy amber color, medium head. Mild sweetness, some lemony tartness, slight bitterness. Silky mouth feel, decent carbonation, citrusy finish. Really refreshing and different wheat beer.

On tap at the Brewery. Definitely not a hefe from the motherland. Interesting with out of place notes. There is no real development of ripe bananas or even, (in a good way) bubble gum flavours. Light and new in all aspects, worth a try when in CO.

Bottle from a sampler. Hazy light orange pour with a small head. Aroma of Fruit Loops. Taste is lemon, orange, mango, other fruits. Fairly sweet and very artificial. Though, I guess it’s a good thing when your fruit punch is 5+ %.

pours cloudy goldenrod with a fast-dissipating 2 finger foam. orange/ lemony aroma. not too much to this one...a little doughy, but mostly citrus flavors.the wheat is very apparent. a decided lack of spiciness. finish is quick and mostly a wheaty flavor. It’s refreshing, but not one of my favorites.

Quality wheat beer. It’s pretty run of the mill. Good balance of wheat and lemons. But it is very average.

Bottle: Poured a hazy orange amber with loads of carbonation, the head was thin and white. The aroma is citrus and wheat/yeasty. The taste was somewhat bland wheat with some citrus.
