Snap! You just captured an unfiltered wheat beer full of refreshment and a flash of tart at the finish. Smile-inducing aromas of citrus hops jump from the nose, accompanied by the sweetness of coriander and grains of paradise. Brewed with wheat and pale malt, Snapshot pours a hazy, lemon-yellow with bright-white lacing. But the real enticement is the snap of tart. New Belgium’s affinity for sour beers led to the in-process blending of lactobacillus to pucker up Snapshot’s base. An extra step to acidify and beautify and get this beer ready for its close up.

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a cloudy yellow gold color with a huge billowing yellow-white head that lingered forever and left decent lacing. The aroma was malty and dusty with a yeasty, bready undertone. The flavor was tar and tangy citrus with bread dough underneath. Medium length finish. Medium body. Pleasant.

Many thanks to Rian for sharing. Nice sour interesting beginning. Watery fresh, not too deep. Fruity-fresh, not too intense, easy to drink.

Bottle thanks to Brian. Pours quite hazy straw, large white creamy head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is wheat and lemon. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter, with a hint of tartness and lemon. Fullish body, creamy mouthfeel. Nice beer, actually.

Bottle shared at chriso’s Post-GBBF Shindig 2014 - London. Pours cloudy yellow with a bubbly white head. Nice and citrusy, with some sugary wheat and mild bitter hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with notes of dry lemon rind, pale bread. Fine.

12oz bottle picked up at the state store
Hazy straw yellow with a small white head, spotty lacing. Aroma is fruity, straw and lemon. Taste is tart, lemon peel, wheat, pit fruit with a dry finish
I finished it, but would not recommend it. My Wife likes wheat beers and she didn’t like it either.
