16oz glass, a selection from Brewsters' new Brewery Rotation offerings - an unfiltered wheat ale, hopped like an IPA.
This beer appears a densely cloudy, pale golden straw colour, with one finger of thinly foamy white head, which leaves some random topographic lace around the glass as it quickly abates.
It smells of crisp, grainy wheat malt, somewhat sweet, with a soft orange citrus fruitiness, sharp pine hoppiness, and muddled earthy spiciness. The taste is more edgy wheat grain, some of that coriander/citrus tag-team, a bit of dry yeast, and a further two-step bitter display of pine needle and grapefruit pith.
The carbonation is a bit astringent in its frothy tightness, the body a long chip shot from medium weight, and menacingly smooth. It finishes still wheaty, the expected accompanying citrus tinged with that New World hop bitterness.
Another melding of styles, where the necessity can duly be called into question. I can sense a decent hefeweizen here, with the calling card of the Pacific NW IPA jammed down its throat. Interesting, I suppose, but mildly confusing, and not altogether enjoyable in its drinkability.
