Walking Tree Wheat
Schlafly Beer - The Tap Room

 

Pours a cloudy, maize color. 1/3 inch head of an off-white color. Good retention and decent lacing. Smells of mango, wheat, pale malt, hint of yeast, and a hint of sweet malt. Fits the style of a Hefeweizen. Mouth feel is smooth and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of mango, wheat, pale malt, hint of hops, hint of yeast, and a hint of sweet malt. Overall, good appearance, body, and blend, and refreshing.

 

Light brown to dark gold and plenty hazy. There's an inch of very dense off white foam on top. I smell pale wheat and mango. I taste a blend of pale wheat and tropical and fruity mango. This is quite a left turn from the usual banana phenols. While it is unique I can't say I'm enamored with it. The mouth is very creamy and smooth.

Pours a hazy gold with 2 fingers of pearl colored head. Stays hazed, no head retention or lacing

S: Mango & pear.

T: Loads of mango, some breadyness & pears. More of the same as this warms, plus a little peppery heat. Finishes dry, wheaty with lots of mango & a little pear

MF: Light body, slight carbonation

Easy to drink was hoping for way more, like the mango

 

 

A very hazy, juicy, full orange colored pour hits the glass in a pretty good looking swirl. The head that forms is huge and fluffy and is in the glass forever with great lacing. The nose on this beer starts off with a touch of traditional wheat spice of light coriander. Next comes the mango with some moderately strong, juicy fruit smell. The mangoes in the scent are a tad bit overripe, but still pretty good and also lend a slight nectarine quality to the overall smell.

Taking a drink, the coriander is back again, and again it is a fairly light component of the beer's flavor. Mangoes come next, but are less prominent than they were in the scent. Very light fruit flavor intermingles with the wheat base beer, to give the impression of a somewhat watered down fruited wheat ale. The end of the drink has a bit of yeasty funk as the beer slides off the tongue. As far as weight goes, this one is light, medium to highly carbonated, and easy to drink.

Overall, this is the first non-IPA mango beer I have had, and it's not bad. If the mango were a little more prominent, it would be better, but it still provides a summery, thirst quenching flavor.

A specialty beer, packaged in a box, with a comic book inside. From a 750 ml bottle, the beer is a milky yellow color with a tall, stable, firm white head. The aroma is dominantly wheat-based...husky, grassy, grainy twang. There is mango in the beer, but it is more present in the taste than in the aroma. Yeasty. Fuller in body than expected. Wheat is omipresent. Semi-dry, and with a cleaner finish than expected. I liked this one.

25oz bottle. Poured out a hazy, pale golden yellow color with a small, fluffy head of foam. It smelled of banana, clove and wheat. Nice banana and wheat taste with a touch of spices.
