Tommyknocker Jack Whacker Wheat Ale

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

Big fizzy head dies instantly, like 7-Up; slightly cloudy honey color. Interesting but weak aroma of lemongrass, honey, wheat, orangepeel. Flavor quite citrusy, acidic, reasonably malty, ok. Ehhh.

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.

Pleasant, lemony, citrus, golden ale wheat aroma. Moderately cloudy, bad label, webby white head. Doughy, lightly sweet, lightly tart, not very crisp. WIlting finish with a fading tartness. Not very estery, not very hoppy, not very fizzy. I’m sorry, but lemongrass just isn’t a sufficiently robust flavor to build a beer around.

Poured a very hazy light copper with a small white head. Aroma of lemon candy and perfume. Wheaty flavors of lightly tart lemon. Almost tastes like lemoade. Light body

This beer pours gold with a slight chill haze that fades as it warms up. The aroma is apparently devoid of all hop aroma. Slight maltiness, vague fruitiness (almost like the dried rasberry aroma from the raspberry black tea my wife drinks.) Not bad, but infinitely forgettable.

An orange beer with a fast disappearing beige head. The aroma is like an ale with notes of oranges and lemon. The flavor is strong of lemon grass with wheat lingering in the background.

Yellow in color with a large fizzy head, quickly diminishing. Aroma is a bit citrus and perfume. Flavor is sweet and lightly hopped. Very average

Poured a somewhat cloudy weak yellow color with a white head. aroma was very bland but had hints of some spices and the general wheaty smell. Flavor was much better than aroma, although a bit watery, very nicely balanced, not off flavors and even some nice spice hints come through.
