BLACK HOG S.W.A.G. WHEAT ALE W/ GRAPEFRUIT
BOLERO SNORT GRAZER WHEAT BEER
Sessionable spring seasonal offers citric Mosaic hop pleasantry to grassy wheat bed. Sunny grapefruit-orange milding crisply crackles thru carbolic Seltzer fizz. Delicate honeydew, melon and tangerine wisps graze the surface.
PARISH CANEBRAKE LOUISIANA WHEAT ALE
(BAYOU TECHE) LA 31 BOUCANEE SMOKED WHEAT ALE
Underwhelming cherrywood-smoked amber-hued moderation lacks body, depth and underlying sweet malt contrast of similarly styled German rauchbiers. Initial peat-seared cherrywood smokiness dries up quickly, leaving only mild campfire singe, distant barbecued meat char and evaporative cedar burn to complement delicate pilsner-Vienna malting.
BIG SKY TROUT SLAYER WHEAT ALE
Soft-toned pleasantry lacks body as watery briskness coddles freshly-squeezed lemon tartness and modest grassy-hopped astringency to its weak white wheat spine. Wispy floral-spiced herbage fades beneath lazy lemon-limed finish.
FLYING DOG HOPPY AMERICAN WHEAT ALE
Lively grapefruit juicing briskly saturates moderate dry-wooded hop bittering. Lilting mango, pineapple, papaya and navel orange tropicalia sweetens light biscuit-malted white wheat spine. Serve to mid-range India Pale Ale lovers as well as noble pale ale imbibers.
FLYING DOG SECRET STASH HARVEST ALE – 2014

TRITON FIELDHOUSE WHEAT
Tiresome lemon pulp souring receives soft yellow-wooded Amarillo hop bittering over skunked vegetal herbage. Raw-honeyed ginger and ginseng notions never fully integrate and doughy malts pick up gluey paper residue. Befuddled citric sourness belies surprisingly clean finish.
BARLEY ISLAND FLAT TOP TAVERN-STYLE WHEAT ALE
Spot-on moderation with pasty barley-wheat stead and cereal grain toasting picks up lemony peach-orange-tangerine tang above spicy citric hop peppering. A bit bland in this day and age of big beers and specialty hybrids, but never off-putting.
SOLEMN OATH MR. INAPPROPRIATE
Promising soft-toned hybrid combines orange-peeled coriander spicing of a Belgian witbier with the grassy-hopped ‘floral citric’ aromatics and resinous pining of an American wheat ale. Mildly creamed caramel malting anchors yellow-pink grapefruit tang and navel orange juicing to biscuit-y white and red wheat spine.
SMUTTYNOSE SUMMER WEIZEN
On tap at Shepherd & Knucklehead, amiable moderation lets lemon-rotted orange and tangerine tartness drift into pale oats-flaked wheat graining and raw-honeyed chamomile tea niche. Faintest banana-clove-bubblegum whim found below.
