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.

Made a average appearance, poured a cloudy dull yellowish golden with a foamy white head, medium carbonation. They’re not lying, had a nose of lemon grass, sweet wheat malt, yeast and grain. A semi-crisp and a little rough medium bodied mouthfeel, average drinkability. Sort of average tasting, grain, wheat and lightly yeasty, not much of hop presence, but there shouldn’t be, the lemon grass starts coming through towards the end and a lemony herbal and malty finish. Not bad on a hot summer day, but not exceptional either.

Pours hazy light golden with a mostly receding white head. Aroma of light citrus, lemongrass, and slight yeastiness. Taste is citric and lightly yeasty with notes of bread dough. Mouthfeel is thin/medium bodied with moderate carbonation. This beer would probably be very boring without the lemongrass. Too bad they didn’t use a good yeast.

Bottle from ZindeHey, thanks. Hazy golden yellow with next to no head. Aroma of malt, lemongrass and honey. Taste of honey, malt, wheat and mild lemon grass. It’s okay but nothing I’d seek out.

This pours a golden color with a thin white head. It left a little lacing around the glass. The flavors were really fruity and sweet, with a little hint of bread and yeast. The aroma featured slight notes of grapefruit and grass. The body was fairly heavy for a wheat beer. There was just nothing outstanding about this. It was neither really good or really bad. It was pretty indifferent. I’d drink it if it were offered, but I wouldn’t go out and buy a sixer of it.

Bottle; Poured a cloudy orange color, small weak white head that dissapeared before I knew it....COMPLETLEY dissapeared with no sign of having ever exsisted...know it just looks like cloudy kool-aid. Nice aroma, fruity. Flavor of citrus. medium carbonation. Not impressed at all....

Label is over the top, just wild! Cloudy appearance as advertised. The flavor is surprisingly dry and crisp. There are plenty of classical wheat tastes. Lemon and coriander can be detected. The beer is surprisingly carbonated. I like this style and this was pretty good, but not one of the top brews.

Clear pale gold color with a mediocre head. Beer is weak in aroma and taste, which both are faintly of wheat and mildly hoppy.
