American Wheat Ale, Finland
3.5
Time to taste the third and last Christmas gift homebrew: it's a 5.4 % Galaxy single hop American Wheat Ale. The beer colors semifoggy, dirty gold. The rich, regular-duration carbonation frees a snow-white, soft fluffy head that exceeds one finger. The foamy cap descends sluggishly to a neat lacing wafting on the top. The retreating froth leaves a few downpouring splatters on the glass. A subdued cocktail of orange zest, lemon pulp, a pinch of peach and a floral note emanates to the nostrils. An accompanying suggestion of overripe banana follows behind. Quite unexpectedly, I also find a note of strawberry among the olfactory supply. Interesting. Orange juice, peach, nectarine and lemon pith linger appealingly on the wheaty bed. I can also pick a faint unidentified herbal nuance behind the curtain. The light-bodied beer finishes with lemon peel, bitter orange peel, a tiny dollop of orange juice and wheat malt. The peachy twist retreats to the background. The finish lasts for medium to long duration. The mouthfeel is light, quite juicy, refreshing and nicely summery.
