Atwater Brewery in Detroit, Michigan, United States 🇺🇸

Wheat Ale Regular

Score

5.87

ABV: 4.5%

IBU: 8

Ticks: 35

Brewed to be a bright straw color, lightly sweet, with wheat added to create a crispness at the back of the palate. Crushed Orange Peel & Coriander are subtly added to the final stage of the hot side, which lend to the clean head aroma.

Inspiration behind artwork: We wanted our new character to be inspired by the original face of the beer, so we kept her dirty blonde hair and wanted to pay tribute to her sassiness by keeping elements of her “D” tattoo by replacing it with a bracelet with a “D” charm. She also has the orange citrus background and blue colors, familiar with Detroit.

Bottle. Large head, gold color. Aroma is a hoppy, spicy smell. Taste is coriander, with a bitter hoppy after taste.

12 ounce bottle, 12/3/19. Hazy orange, large white head, good retention. Aroma of biscuity wheat and orange. Taste is candied orange and wheat. Some caramel candy as well (odd). Thin. Decent.

19.2 oz tallboy from Meijer. Sugar and fusel alcohol nose as I pour. A hazy golden color under a thin, sudsy head. Taste is mostly more sweetness, and headache-inducing alcohol. There is a bot of orange after the first few sips. Then some slight spice, that could be from wheat malt, coriander and/or yeast. Hops are very indistinct. Mostly like a Blue Moon.

Bottle at BrewMaster’s Craft Beer Festival. Pours a hazy gold with small white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is wheat and citrus. Medium body, wheat, citrus, clove, light finish, good.
