Twisted Pine Rocky Mountain Wheat

Brewed by Twisted Pine Brewing
Style: Wheat Ale
Boulder, Colorado USA

tap at he brewery. light yellow almost gold hazed body with a lingering white head. sweet wheaty aroma that reminds me of the fried peach pies my mom used to make, seriously. a bit of lemon too. fresh. that word sums this up. a bit of sweet lemon lime and a touch of doughy sweetness. an easy to drink pleasure of a beer.

Slightly hazy and golden. Crisp, light mouthfeel, but not necessarily watery. Wonderful malt flavors -- chewy wheat, nutty grains and a wholesome earthiness, with a curious element of woodsiness. Very mild bitterness. Overall it’s a mild beer, but it’s very well made and pretty tasty.

Pale, no head. Honey sweetness, fades to a nice lagery, wheat filled finish. Nice bitter and organic taste to this one.

on tap-pours a white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is faint musty wheat. Taste is faint musty wheat, some sweetness. OK carbonation.

Tap. Pours pale yellow, a tad hazy, with a small white head. Small wheat aroma with a hop nose. Wheat and malt flavor. Light bodied and fizzy.

Draft at the brewpub. An unclear golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by wheat. The flavor is sweet with notes of malty and wheat, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

Draught, Pumphouse Strong Ale Fest, April 2005. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain), lightly hoppy (lemon), lightly yeasty (sweat). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. This is the base beer used for the Raspberry wheat, and will likely be bottled for the summer (though the name may change). Not sure why this was being poured at a strong ale fest.

Sample at the brewery on 6/10/6. Beer was clear and light gold with a small, froty, white mostly diminishing head. The aroma was really empty, just a trace of toasted grain, but it was flawless, which is something for a light-colored beer like this. It’s something I’d consider slinging into the cooler at a party, but I’d never drink it again. The flavor was lightly sweet, lightly acidic and lightly bitter with a short, clean, trace bitter finish. The body was light, the texture was watery and the carbonation is lively-to-soft.
