Saint Arnold Brewing Company's Texas Wheat

This beer has a short, but interesting history. Not only was it mentioned as one of Michael Jackson's favorite American beers, but it's a great example of marketing in Texas. So, what do you do when you have a craft beer (or anything, for sale in Texas, really) that's not selling too well? Call it "Texas ________." Your sales will pretty much instantly double.

This one pours a light yellowish amber with a good white head for a wheat. Most of them fade pretty quickly, but this one sticks, in part due to decent carbonation but in general it just stays.

Smells zippy, exactly like a wheat should. Slightly sweet, very mildly bitter (with a barely perceptible 18 IBU's), but more than anything crisp, and uncluttered.

Same taste--clean and more tart than bitter. Grainy wheat taste that is more if a rough grain than refined bread taste. And of course, it's got the wheat zip that makes it finish dry and clean.

Drink it cold, because as it warms the taste gets a bit more dull, and isn't as clean.
