Wheat Lager List
Smith wheat beer
Purple Haze Raspberry Wheat
Appearance
a nice medium to light gold color, surprisingly crystal-clear and effervescent
since most Wheat beers are unfiltered. The head is tall, white, tense and
Styrofoam -- like with fair lacing.
Golden filtered wheat with an airy white head.A
very delicate look, nice presentation.

Aroma
Decent strength with good wheat character, a peach citrus, and lastly a sharper
perfume -- like component that I didn't care for.
Mild yeasty wheat aroma with a
faint lemon note.

Palate
Crisp yet smooth, basically a dual note of peach citrus and wheat, in that order
which is a fault because the peach was overdone.
If this beer were a little more
strongly hopped it would pass as a Pilsner. Very gentle character, thin and
crisp, with the wheat filling the void of barley malt.

Finish
A crisp carbonation zest, more peach citrus, and finally at the very and a decent
wheat flavor briefly comes through.
A little dry and refreshing. The finish is so
mild, as to be borderline non--- existent.

Synopsis
As much as I hate to be blunt, I didn't care much for this one. The appearance
was the best attribute and a perfume -- like component of the aroma was my
least favorite. The wheat flavor was decent when you get it but the peach was
more overbearing in this dual note beer.
A decent drinking beer, but in many
ways I find this lighter than many light beers. I don't hate this brew by any
stretch of the imagination, but it stands on the near end of the spectrum.

while preserving the clean character of the style, creating a beer with a distinct
aroma, refreshing taste and a crisp, dry finish. Our wheat beer pairs with grilled
