Sierra Nevada Brewing Company's Unfiltered Wheat

I'm liking this brewery more and more. Unlike Sam Adams or New Belgium, Sierra Nevada has grown without compromise.

Their Unfiltered Wheat seems to be no exception. Pours a cloudy yellow with a great head and retention, especially for a wheat, and strong carbonation that will probably make it feel more crisp.

Great zippy smell that a wheat should have. Not really bitter, and not really bready, but kind of raw and grainy, a bit coarse but still light.

Excellent beer, just what the style calls for. An almost tart bitterness hits at first, followed by the grainy wheat and overall a crisp, zippy feel and taste that is substantial, but still fairly light like the style should be.

One of my favorite wheats. Crisp and clean, with good body and flavor, one of the strongest wheats out there while staying light.
