Tin Whiskers Wheatstone Bridge
Tin Whiskers Wheat Stone Bridge. Well, that's how it reads. Is it Stone Bridge Wheat, actually? {No, it's Wheatstone Bridge. Read more here.)It's 1 pint, 6 fluid ounces. 5.4% alc./vol. This beer was bottled in 2015 on the month below: March. American Wheat Ale brewed with natural flavors. Brewed and bottled by Tin Whiskers Brewing Company, St. Paul, Minnesota.
Appearance: clouded, pale yellowish hue, slim ivory head.
Aroma: soft, slightly sweet, and wheat. Orange and lemon, mmm, mmm.
Taste: starts out spicy, just a little, then comes the smooth malt, the sweetness and the wheat malt. Tasty stuff, and easy on the tongue. Spice jumps back in (cinnamon? really?), fruit rolls on up, and the smooth carries you out. Good. Not the greatest, but it is beer, and you can drink it.
What's the label want us to know? "A refreshing and relaxing brew that combines wheat, honey and chamomile in perfect harmony." Is that what it is? "Appearance: white head with a golden color. Mouthfeel: light body with a silky mouthfeel. Taste: earthy with hints of apple and floral sweetness. Aroma/Nose: strong smell of chamomile with some fruit and malt."
Odd. I didn't pick up on the chamomile, never would have guessed about it. Or honey. Now that I bring it back up the lips and send it down the throat, oh, yeah, that's there., alright. That's what I was tasting as the "spice." Well, it's there, but who the hell would have expected it? Who puts tea and honey in a beer? Well, they did. And it's a beer and yeah, you can drink it.
