Today we're taking a look at Jason & Co.'s Hoppy Wheat beer. My buddy Brandon is visiting, so I figured this is a good time to break this one out.
First off, this is another awesome pour. Like I said, these guys have their ingredients figured out quality-wise. Good, medium sized head that retains pretty well and laces just as well. Medium orange to gold in color, with a medium haze to it, as is with many wheats. Scent is a cross between moderate hoppiness and moderate, sweet maltiness. Starts with solid, yet somewhat subdued hops, with sweeter malts following up.
The taste of this one is solid through and through. Starts with light to moderate hop bitterness levels, and smoothly transitions into a very solid malt base. The malts balance out the decent hop profile in a very balanced brew. The feel is spot on for what I'm calling a pale ale. Wheat flavors are present, but not prominent, so this one really reminds me of a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale with less of a hop profile. All in all, this is a damn solid beer. I hope Jason makes more of this in the future, because this is his best overall beer. Very sessionable and easy to drink, yet very flavorful Good job guys.
Now time to hang out with Brandon and some other people. The Reds lost, but have a 3-2 record...so until next time, go Reds!
