My grading scale

It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:

1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)

4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.

8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D

10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

Victory Whirlwind Witbier

I was introduced to Victory about 2 months ago.  I tried their V-12 which is their high alcohol, high flavor, quadruppel.  Now I'm hooked to their beers.  Wanted something light and this was it.

Look/Pour/Smell - Yellow lemon look, carbonation is their but it's an easy pour.  Malt and lemon dominate.  Unfiltered so there's sediment.

Taste - Lemon and spice, light flavor, lemon after taste.  Malt is subdued.  Refreshing.

Rating - 7
This one gets a 7 because of the price range it's in.  It dominates the other beers in this range and category.  It's not the best wheat I've had overall, but it's great for a starter.  Let your friends try it.

Allagash Tripel Reserve

Allagash has one of my favorite wheat beers, and so this one shouldn't disappoint.  It is special enough to Allagash to have the batch number on the bottle.                                                                                                      Look, Pour, Smell - Hazy wheat and golden, light but strong head, awesome spice and wheat smell.                                                                            Taste - Citrus, wheat, spice are all balanced, with an extra bit of citrus in the after taste.  Strong flavors.                                                                   Rating - 8                                                                                                          This one will impress you if you like wheat style beers.  This is also another great offering from the Maine based Allagash.

Terrapin Sunray Wheat Beer


I love wheat beers, and when I saw this one that was "locally" brewed I wanted to try.

Look, Pour, & Smell - Hazy, straw, light head.  Malt, citrus lemon, light hops.

Taste - Stronger citrus lemon, malt, less hops.

Rating - 7

I've noticed I'm more partial to wheat beers, but this one is very good.  This will get everyone in a good mood.
