Choice American barley and wheat malts are combined with a blend of noble hops to create this light, fruity, refreshing beer. Brewed in the style of the American Craft Beer renaissance, Blue Star is unfiltered, the yeast adding a complex note to the flavor profile.

Tap. One of those classics that I just never rated. Pours cloudy golden, medium white head, nice lacing. Aroma is light, wheat, floral notes, grain, lemon zest. Light plus sweet, minimal bitterness. Medium body, a bit of acidity. Lacks the banana and clove of a German hef, but not bad in its own right.

Fairly light, mild aroma. Flavor’so slightly reminiscent of Bavarian wheat beer. One of the best American wheat brews.

355 ml bottle, in Sacramento. Pale straw colour. American wheat ale (that are not intended to be hefeweizens or witbiers) must be one of the most boring beer styles ever. Nothing especially "wrong" with the aroma and flavour of this one, just grainy and boring.

12oz bottle. Old school American Wheat. Grainy, old a corn feel. Mild wheat tones, mostly just straightforward golden malt. Clean, well brewed. Straightforward and simple, OK.

Flaska från Galatea/craftbeer. Varmt gyllengul, disig, ganska lågt vitt skum. Doft av söta äpplen eller pommac, lite vete, grön banan och jäst. Lätt smak, relativt söt, mycket äppelmust, väldigt lite humle, i princip ingen beska. Hade behövt antingen beska eller lite mer syrlighet (så rådet att tillsätta en citronskiva kanske inte är så dumt trots att det tar emot). Inte mycket jästkaraktär heller eller någon karaktär alls. Nja inte så roligt. Test 2; Med citronskiva. Smakar först mest citron, men efter ett tag gifter sig smakerna och syran lyfter smaken något och balanserar sötma +0,4

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks zvikar. Hazy yellow. Aroma of wheat, citrus and a spicy note. Wheaty flavor, slightly sweetish, with a tart hint, a bit of corn, citrus and mild spiciness. Pretty light-bodied.

355ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, white head. Citrusy hoppy and slightly strawy, husky aroma, a touch of lemon, peach and dried banana. Taste is minimally sweet wheat malty, notes of peach, a touch of lemon, slightly grassy, bitter hoppy overtones.
