Strawberry Wheat
Hidden Sands Brewing Company

First review. Poured from an undated but known to be fresh can into a shaker glass. It pours a cloudy, golden-amber color with more than a finger of fluffy, milk-white head and lacing. The smell is just as I would expect: there's fresh strawberry over wheat cracker. When sipped, the strawberry is much more tart - almost sour - than the nose implies and it compliments the dry wheat. The dry sourness makes it an ideal hot weather beer. It's simple but effective. What I find most interesting is the mouth feel. It's surprisingly viscous and creamy for 5.5% ABV. It drinks bigger than its modest gravity. Overall, this is a fine offering. It's a good summertime cooler that you could drink on the beach or on the deck with some sharp cheese.
