First beer I’ve had from Tractor Brewing is a pint can of Haymaker bought in mid-summer at the Santa Fe Total Wine. The label says an ABV of 6%. Wheat ales are way down the list of my favorite styles but I’ll do this for a NM brewery.For this sampling I have out the New Belgium glass. I see a dullish gold liquid followed by a quickly disappearing top of snow white foam. The smell is all right with grain, toffee and honey. And the taste is simply better than the scent. Wheat certainly, an accurate delivery of honey, caramel and clover. Not a beer I’d seek out but would drink again if it came my way.

12 oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and slightly hazed gold color. Aroma is honey, hint of wheat. Taste is tart and harsh, acidic upfront, some honey. Rating saved by aroma and appearance.
