- Tasting Notes
- clean balanced tasty ale. Slight sweetnes from the honey malt.
So, SWMBO is coming around to pale ales and American style wheats. Before she would not touch a beer unless it had fruit flavor in it.:smack: So, she has opened her taste buds up to SN, burning river,firestone... She asked if I can make something along the lines of these but with the wheat beer flavor. I said OK. So FWIW I've made 4 different batches trying to dial in a taste profile she likes. With some luck the last batch I made was "much better than sierra nevada" in her own words. I took that as a compliment. Thought I would share it. Taste is hop citrus and slightly sweet from the crystal and honey matls. The soft white wheat lends a nice slight sourness to the brew. Not real malty, but seems to be well balanced. I am not good at descriptions of the flavors, so please bear with me.

) when I plug your hop schedule into an IBU calculator, I only get about 20. Am I doing something wrong?
