Brewer's Select: American Wheat Ale
The Lone Pint Brewery

This was another single can that I picked up at the H-E-B in Lubbock, Texas when I was down that way a few months back. Only had one other offering from before from Lone Pint, and this was a bit better as the Brewer's Select aspect was quite evident here!

Off-gold, cloudy, and topped off with a ton of head, that unevenly settled and took its time doing so. A few rings of deep lacing remained on the side of my glass as each one easily bled down to the next. Not a strong aroma to be had here, but that was this beer's only weak attribute. Plenty of wheat, malt, mild European hops, and light citrus and white grape in the taste as they all melded together nicely. Full-bodied without being filling, the back was quite dry as the Carahell stood out just a bit above the other malts used.

A smooth, underlying carbonation and recessed alcoholic presence made this a smooth sipper that went down easily. No date was to be found anywhere although there wasn't any sediment to be seen in the liquid. Sure, it's winter here but something like this is fun to enjoy year-round, even when it's not warm and inviting outside. This was a quality brew that showcased the style nicely.

 

Hazy golden pour, about a finger of steady white foam on top. Nose offers wheat and citrus.

Taste shares sweet citrus, fresh bread, creamy mouthfeel, light woodiness, drying yeast character. Finish sees the drying effect if the yeast continue with some pine joining in. Interesting beer.

Drank 6/10. Fresh release from the brewery, but illegible canned date.
Pour is a cloudy pale / golden yellow with a huge, dense finger + cap of chalk white foam. excellent retention and lacing.
Nose is wheat, some subtle citrus hops, hints of ester.
Taste follows. Wheat, citrus hops, bready malt, some pine. Moderate bitterness that is nicely balanced, but definitely there. Really enjoying this beer.
Mouthfeel is a crisp, light body with high carbonation
