Wavy Hazy Citrus Wheat
Schlafly Beer - The Tap Room

Poured from the can into a wheat ale glass.

Wavy filled body, slightly hazed but almost frozen in a brass bright lemon yellow color. A real frothy creamy forming topped head, lathers eggshell white with super fine foam like bubbles.

Spritzy like nose, hinting of lemon juice and a bit of oily zest. Slightly soapy smelling but does have sweet inticing quality to it. Much of this lemon really dominates anything else on the beer as there is not much else aroma going on. Lacks some character but it's enjoyable and pleasant.

Palate is a bit of a let down. Very wet bodied in mouthfeel, with a washing fleeting character on the tastebuds. Lemon rind and a bit of weak malt, with a finish that's hinting a bit of detergent as well. Hop angle and more importantly malt character on this beer is nowhere to be found.

Drinkable and easily crushable, this comes off as just weak overall though with not much to enjoy.

Clear golden color with a decent white head and some nice lacing.
The aroma is lemon with a background of wheat malt. T
he taste is mildly sweet lemon, fresh bread and a bit of crackery, grassy notes in the finish. Simple but clean and refreshing.
The body is light, carbonation is moderate, smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a very nice warm weather cooler, like a milder version of a radler. Very nice.

Notes via stream of consciousness: So what's this now, a wheat beer with real lemon added? Cool. It's definitely not hazy, and I don't know what "wavy" is even supposed to mean. It's not perfectly clear but it's damned close. I checked the can and there was no sediment at the bottom so maybe this was just the last off of the canning run and the haze had already dropped. The body is a yellow gold and the head is a finger's width of bright white foam. To me it's a good looking glass of beer. The lemon is clear in the aroma and there's nothing artificial about it at all. Beyond that there's some wheaty malt but that's it. It's clean, bright, and welcoming. On to the taste then, it's definitely lemony. It tastes like a radler to me. It's acidic, clean, bright, and just lightly sweetish with no real amount of bitterness to be found. It finishes dry and refreshing with the lemon and a hint of wheaty malt left lingering. In the mouth it's light-medium in body and crisp. The head held up better than average and it's left some fairly decent lacing behind. It's not hazy but I don't really care about that so no points off for clarity. As a summer beer this is definitely a winner but I'm not sure it has enough character to keep me interested in it beyond just quenching my thirst. The lemon is great, I'll give it that, but it's very much a one-trick pony.

 

12oz can. Poured out a hazy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of fluffy foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of lemon, citrus, cracked wheat and bread crust. Tart lemon taste with a sweet citrus kick and nice wheat backbone.
