Troeg’s Dreamweaver unfiltered wheat.
I first notice a very yeasty smell. There is a light citrus smell but the yeast is almost overpowering. It smells like bread yeast, which isn’t a smell I like in a beer. To cut the beer a little break I noticed when I poured this beer there was some gunk in the bottom of the bottle that I didn’t notice in the other Dreamweavers I had drank before. Also this is an unfiltered beer so the gunk and yeast might be there by design.
Once getting past the smell there is a good citrus almost lemon taste. This beer doesn’t have much bitterness, and what bitterness is there is well balanced with the citrus flavor. The wheat makes this beer very smooth and maybe even a creamy consistency. The carbonation isn’t over flowing, but the bubbles continue to bubble up from the bottom for the glass. I can see grabbing another one of these from the fridge, but I think I might throw out the last sip to avoid that gunk.
The label on the bottle is a little dark and almost Halloween-esk for a beer that is made year round. I don’t know if this is what Troeg was going for but I don’t think a dark scary bottle is going to help sell any beer.
When buying this beer directly from Troeg’s brewery to bring on the flight home I was forced by Pennsylvania law to buy a full case of 24 beers, I couldn't buy any lfewer. I think this is one of the many stupid liquor laws
