Saranac Amber Wheat poured a semi-clear,
dark amber color with a finger width off-white head. The aroma has some very light malt, some wheat underneath and notes of citrus. The body is malty up front with some orange flavor. The wheat comes in towards the end, and
the beer finishes with a yeastiness that leads in to a short finish that has a dry mouthfeel and a very small sour twinge
at the end. Saranac classifies this as a dunkelweizen, which would make this
a very light version of that style. There was no real yeast sediment in the bottle and the color was fairly
clear which is uncharacteristic of an unfiltered wheat beer. Overall, I have no complaints on this beer.
Amber Wheat has plenty of flavor and a relatively deep body with the middle palate the best aspect. This
is defiantly a beer to try during the warmer months.
