This is included in the holiday sampler this year, so I was excited to try it.
Excitement over.
It is really..... blah. I'm not sure how else to describe it. There's nothing there. It doesn't taste like a wit, wheat, hefe, whatever you use to describe your favorite wheat beer. It tastes like a fizzy cloudy ale. That's it. There's no malt character, barely any wheat character, and nothing memorable. I can't imagine this being enjoyable any way other than ice cold on a hot day... there's no taste already, so the chill won't hurt that.
Anyway... I usually love SA stuff, but this is my new least favorite SA brew. Cranberry "Lambic" a close second. I think I need to stop getting the Holiday Sampler, because I always was on the fence about the "lambic" anyway, but now that's 4 beers out of 12 that are nearly undrinkable. Not worth the price for the Holiday Porter and Old Fezziwig's, good as they are.
Anyone else hugely disappointed by this one? I actually think the SA Hefe and Dunkelweizen aren't bad at all...
