12 oz single bottle, Buffalo Wild Wings, Hiram, GA. Classic macro disappointment with an initially decent head that fades dramatically to nothing. Perhaps a little more color than expected, at least in terms of it being orange rather than pale...
12 oz single from Ale Yeah, Decatur, Atlanta, GA, USA. A very pale, hazy yellow pour with a pretty small head and little retention or lace. Nose and tastes are citrusy and light, but lack any depth for me. It's not complex and beers of this ABV CAN...
12 oz single, many thanks to Kevin for the chance to try this one. Pour gives a peach colored body with some light, wispy head. Lace is minimal but nevertheless it is present. Nose offers some light, acidic fruit but little else, even on warming....
Retro looking bottle (as per the BA db picture), thanks to Kevin for the chance to try this beer. Pour gives an alarming, quite dark orange color with a lot of dirty sediment and a large, billowing head. Lace is average, some stickiness. Nose gives...
750mL bottle purchased at the brewery (or maybe Finger Lakes Beverage in Ithaca), either way, close to the source! Batch: E!022 Opening the cap gives me a gusher, and quite a profound one. It takes several minutes before the cascading, fine foam...
12oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. After a few seconds of settling down, the pour gives a very suspiciously clear, macro-esque body and a head that fades badly. Despite the description on the label, the beer looks as though it has been...
Filtered wheat beer in the 12 oz bottle as a single from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. $1.19. The appearance is as expected with a decent head but little or no retention. Filtering means good clarity but somewhat lacking in character for me...
12 oz bottle, thanks go out to Jason for the chance to try this. "Greatest Nation on Earth" (usual "USA, USA" crap) on the label that ignores so much ... ho hum ... back to the beer. Nice color that has plenty of depth in the orange color but has a...
12 oz single from Beverage Resort, Kennesaw, GA, USA. $0.99. Purchased on a whim, this may be very old! 1787 R 09:07 4W dot matrixed on the neck of the bottle. A bit confused by this one, maybe this has already been retired, but it does not appear...
12oz single from Total Wine, Kennesaw, GA, USA. Pale hazy yellow pour with very little head or lace. The look is fairly unispirational. A fairly large whiff of fruit in the nose, but not anything that I could distinguish as passion fruit - just...
12 oz single from Mac's Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Poured into the Tucher Weizen, 500 mL glass. Frankly this is a bit odd. It pours more like a macro lager, and lacks a cloudy appearance. It must be filtered? Nose is a sweetish, corny skunk and...
16 oz pour at Taco Mac, Douglasville, GA, USA. An "Amber Wheat" (whatever THAT is), so here we go. Pour has an amber colour with a decent head and some lace. Nose to me appears to be non-descript. Taste lacks any depth, description or character....
12 oz single as part of the Mac's Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA mixed sixer at $7.99. Light macro body, little head and no lace. Clarity is good - filtered wheat?? I dunno, along with the thinnish body, the macro grainy smell and the relatively...
Thanks go out to Vancer as part of CEO/OLD Farts BIF. 12oz single in the typical Boulevard stubbie bottle. Hazy orange body with a distinct honey/orange hue. Large initial head with some serious fizzy carbonation. No lace and the head is gone...
From Vancer as part of CEO BIF. 12 oz bottle. Poured aggressively into the Tucher Weizen glass. Good looker - pale banana yellow body and the classic, Hefe/Weizen-like head. Apart from the look (which I think is good) this is an amazingly...
Looks good, tastes average. Part of a mixed six pack (2 Hefe, 2 Cream Stout, 2 Boston Ale) from Sam Adams @ 7.49, Publix Supermarkets, Villa Rica, GA, USA. Somewhat disappointed. As many others have noted, the Hefe tag is loosely applied here, in...
Here's my problem. To me, an Englishman, "Ale" always conjours up the image of cask-conditioned ales in pubs with roaring log fires. Associating an "Ale" with summer drinking seems, well frankly, silly! I like my summer drinks to be thirst...
