Triumph Honey Wheat

Brewed by Triumph Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Princeton, New Jersey USA

Draft at Malvern Brew Fest. Golden hazy pour with some bready pale malt and slight honey aromas. The palate and complexity were on the low end of the scale, and the flavor was wheaty malty with some honey.

Well it’s honey...and it’s wheat. Mildly tart, with a watery palate, but cleanly done and very drinakble. Undemanding.

on tap-pours a thin white head with straw/yellow color. Aroma is medium malt, slight sweetness. Taste is wheat, clean, good carbonation. Light bodied.

Tasted almost like a macrobrew, although had a bit more complexity. Very weak flavors, nothing to write home about. Seems to be their uninteresting basic beer.

Very sweet, grassy, floral honey aroma with toasty underlying malt character. Clear golden body with low but lasting, fine bubbled, white head that lasts and laces. Bready, toasty and grainy cereal malt and wheat flavours blend well with grassy, herbal hop flavour and medium bitterness. :ively, crisp carbonation to the medium light body. Enjoyed on tap at the Pennsylvania location of the brewpub with beerbuzzmontreal, MartinT, Rastacouere and Yowie.

Weak all around. My girlfriend actually thought that she had ordered a miller lite.

Light blonde color with a striaght up white head. Slightly malty aromas with a hint of honey. Light bodied, with just a touch of honey. Clean finish. Not really a great beer, but the one I sampled didn’t really have any glaring flaws, either.

The Lure:
Fat and lazy maltiness isn’t helped by the fruity honey. Wheat is present in loose grain form, melting into the minty honey adequately. It’s a honey wheat, and nothing more. But it’s well-brewed.

The Festivities:
Fruity and minty honey sweetness finishes almost syrupy. It is accordingly inhabited by wheat cereal, which works well with the honey and malt. But I still do not have a taste for honey wheats.

Transcendence:
I hate getting up too early in the morning.
