Stilly Wheat
Iron Monk Brewing Company & Tap Room

I really like this beer. Taste reminds me of toasted bread. Very crisp and nice.

"Wheat ale." 4.5% ABV.

Vaguely citrusy with obvious wheat at the fore. A bit too sweet but not a terrible beer.

Still, if I wanted a mediocre-ish vaguely citrusy wheat ale, I'd sooner pick up Blue Moon - which incidentally is a fair bit cheaper.

C- / BELOW AVERAGE

 

 

 

 

Bought at Crest Foods in Edmond. Date code was cryptic but it was not in the store a week before so I assume age is within tolerance.

Pour-swirl-pours to one finger head that does not want to last (what is it about wheat beers in cans not holding a head?). Cloudy gold color. Aroma is wheaty with slight lemon and coriander. Flavor is clean and wheat forward with subtle hints of lemon, pale malt and coriander. Mouthfeel is light and appropriately refreshing. CO2 is nominal. I bought a six pack and there were variations among the first 3 cans - some were more lemony than others and head retention were varying degrees of meh. So... It's a decent 4% abv version of a very laid back lemon-based American style Witbier.

P.S.: If you want a sweeter, lighter taste, decant off the sediment instead of swirling the yeast in. It does make a difference.

 

 

 

 

On tap. Pours a translucent light golden color with no head, no lacing, and some carbonation. Smell of wheat and pepper. Taste is a simple wheat with a barely noticeable orange note. It's a 3.2% beer, so it has a light body with medium-light carbonation and no aftertastes. It feels very watery and is easy to drink quickly.
This was disappointing. It's a light beer, not a witbier. It'd be easy to throw down a 6 pack of this since there is no depth and such a low ABV. It could be an alternative to the macro light beers.

Good Hefe. Very yeasty and very nice citrus. This was one of the first Hefeweizens I ever had and I have been a fan ever since.
