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.

Pours a slightly hazed gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving no lacing. Mild bubblegum and cinnamon aromas. Sweet hay and raisins upfront turning to wheat in the crisp finish.

Short stubby bottle as pictured. $2 at Vintage. Didn’t think this was a wheat ale at first, smelled like a lager and it had the appearance of one until I got to the bottom, where gunk stirred up into a swirling frenzy into my glass. I don’t get these wheat ales, has the mild bitterness of an ale yet barely has any wheart attributes. Can’t detect much fruitinesss in there as stated in the description. Not bad overall but could have a few more manners. Finish has this mild to medium bitterness building on the back top of the palate.

Smells like a typical American Wheat but more striking. The nose is a big wheaty minty appealing. A touch of honey? Cloudy copper color with a firm head. Clean and refreshing, but not bland with a wheaty zestiness and a hint of citrus near the finish. Lingering mint and thyme spiciness. Very nice!
