Suds
Friday, October 5th, 2007
Bell’s Brewery no longer distributes to my home state. But it did in the past. Back then I picked up two varieties. I’ve already written about Bell’s Number Two Wheat Ale. Today, I had the Number Six Wheat Ale. Unlike any other wheat beer I’ve had, this beer had the distinct taste of roasted malt. It was cloudy, and it was much darker in color than any other wheat I’ve ever had. It was a heavy, ponderous beer suitable for sipping and tasting. I’d liken it to porters and stouts.
The pouring was an adventure, though. This beer had an absolutely amazing head. It took an extremely long time to pour it, and even with a tall wheat beer glass, I was unable to prevent the suds from erupting from the bottle neck like a volcano.
A pleasant aroma and taste. I enjoyed this beer.
