Barley's Yankee Wheat Ale
Smokehouse Brewing Co.

On draught at the Smokehouse (lemon optional). Pours a hazy yellow color with a thin white head that dissipates steadily. Spotty lacing. The aroma is wheaty with light hops and citrus notes. Light, effervescent body with grassy hops and wheat flavor, along with a slight citrus presence. The finish is short and fruity with a lingering mild hops aftertaste. Overall this beer is your average brewpub American Wheat .

Very pale gold in color, only slightly hazy. Sort of looks like a macro. White fluffy head disappears rather quickly, and leaves only a few spots of lace.

Soft lemony edge in the nose. Not a whole lot else, just some pale malt aroma. Not much in the way of hops, maybe slightly grassy.

Fairly crisp, light malt character, with maybe a bit of bready flavor. Earthy and slightly grassy hops.

Very easy to drink. Light body, a fair amount of carbonation. This would be good on a very hot day, but that is about it.

Very light in color. A light straw with mucho carbonation bubbles. Head is a bright vivid white and something I particularly don't find pleasing to the eyes, just seems cheap?

Very pale wheat aromas grassy and lemony. Not much more going on. Some peach hidden way in th back also with a midst of must.

Spritzy mouthfeel, good carbonation very thin and quaffable as hell. Not much really going on. Basically the same as the nose. Pale and grassy that's about it.

Served in a pint glass with a lemon on the rim. I know this is a wheat, but the server didn't ask if I wanted one. I'll put this on the server and won't penalize the beer. Color was a very pale cloudy yellow. Aroma was very mild, some fruit probably from the lemon. Not much going on here. Taste was equally as unimpressive, just nothing there. Very light malts and wheat with a tinge of sweet fruit. Feel is light and dry, even more so than other wheats I have tried. The drinkability is fine as this is certainly light and fairly refreshing in its finish. I am a big fan of Barley's, but I just can't recommend this one. Although I did see at least three other people drinking this when I was there. Then again there were probably at least three people drinking Bud Light as well.
