American Pale Wheat
Jungle Boogie isn’t your typical wheat beer–which is why it consistently ranks among the top wheat beers in the country. Instead of a light and bready cracker profile, Jungle Boogie uses a grain bill of mixed wheat to provide a body of light caramel and amber sweetness. That sweetness provides the platform for the fruity Rooibos tea to build a tower full of ripe stone fruit. Finishing the fermentation with a minimal dry hop of Mosaic further buttresses the fruity characteristics of the tea, while providing a lightning rod to unite the whole with a vibrant current of bright flavor. Light and colorful, Jungle Boogie is the perfect beer to pair with almost any dish and a welcome libation to both longtime fans of craft beer as well as those averse to overly malty or hoppy brews.

$4.50 pint can from Beer Run. Pours deep gold with half an inch of beige head. Aroma is very juicy citrus and mango. Flavor is mango, peach, wheat, grass, minor herbal notes. I’m not getting a ton of tea. This is solid. EDITED TO ADD: now that the beer is gone, I have a roobios tea flavor in my mouth, so this is bumping a point.

16 oz can poured. This is one of those cans that I picked up while on travel, and was excited to bring back to share, and then a week later, it showed up in introductory distribution. Oh well, doesn’t change how good the beer is. A thick and bright copper orange color with a big soap bubble head. A wonderful juicy hop aroma. Mosaic on very fine display here. Juicy orange like tea flavors, with a constant floral, other mixed fruit, soft spice, and pleasant malt finish. In no way does the flavor suggest wheat beer for me. Cool, juicy, and delicious. Love this beer.

Pour is a dark reddish with a large white head. Aroma is a nice fruit with some berries. Flavor Is bitter berries. It’s fruity and super bitter. I have never had rooibus tea before but I’m guessing that it’s helping with the bitterness level here. It’s definitely a different kind of wheat ale and I did enjoy the fresh berry flavor of the beer.

Can from J’s. Pours a clear, light copper with a finger of foam that lingers. Caramel, wheat, apricot and peach on the nose. A bit of young fruit aromas are noticeable. Clean on the palate, with a fruit-forward driven palate. More of the fall fruits. Clean and bitter finish, a bit too bitter actually. Enjoyable but maybe a tad too bitter for me personally. --- Beer merged from original tick of Marz Jungle Boogie on 06 Nov 2016 at 19:58 - Score: 7. Original review text: Decent fruit forward hoppy wheat. Clean with good rooibos character. A tad too bitter.

Can: Hazy amber with a tall, off-white head. Tea, orange aroma. Flavour is strong, solid tea, orange-peel, wheat malt. Very nice, leafy-tea bittering. Quite enjoyable and unique.
