Rockfish Wheat

Beer: Rockfish Wheat

Brewer: Blue Mountain

Style: Kristalweizen

Tasting notes: (0905) On draft @ the brewery. An excellent representative of the style - banana and clove are present without being overpowering. May rate 4 glasses but gets a boost for being so true to style.

Comment: I drank this beer as part of a visit to the brewery. Jose and I stayed in Waynesboro on a bike trip. Rockfish is what Virginia's call Striped Bass. They are prized catch in the Chesapeake Bay. The brewer left a little yeast in the brew, giving the beer a slight haze, unlike traditional kristalweizen that is clear. I think that the brewery brews the best beer in VA.

Rating: 5 glasses
