On-tap at the brewpub: After finally deciding after much discussion with the Staff and Gusler, I decided to start the evening with this brew. It was still early evening and pretty hot at the time and I didn't want to start off with the heavy stuff. But just after I ordered it I then saw the 7.6%. Whoa nelly, here we go!
Color is a clear bright slightly pale gold, nice firm white head thats small and compact, lacing in sheets the whole way down. Aroma is wheaty sweet, sticky, buttery, crisp, with a nudge of mild floral hops underneath. Taste is all malts, and a wonderful supply of them, nice sticky sweetness of wheat and chewy malts that has unique crispness at the edge of every sip. Quite tasty. Hops add some floral spice nearer the finish but more sweetness wipes the palate clean before the finish drips away clean and malty. Feel is nearly full, well rounded and super clean and lightly buttery smooth, with an edgy zip of hops in the middling finish and ends overall dully sweet and fruity. Gone in no time and making another choice was soon to be had as this was an amazingly fine wheat ale to consume. Very well crafted and super yummy. Thanks for the recommendation Joe.

Draught @ Papago
This is a new creation from Ron the master brewer, and one I’ve been eagerly awaiting since he told me about it, “Woo Hoo” it here!

The beer fresh from the tap pours a translucent gold with a majestic bright white heat that is creamy in texture; the lace forms a nice sheet upon the glass. Nose has a nice mild hop floral aroma, backed my sweet malt and a touch of yeast, strikingly crisp and fresh with the start lightly sweet and the wheat profile pleasant, the top is middling in its feel to the palate. Finish is prickly in its acidity, the hops magnificent in their spiciness, quite dry after taste, with the dry hopping a nice touch, a great summertime beer for us desert rats, as the thermometer is hitting the century mark now and will stay that way till the end of October.
