Ballast Point Brewing Company Wahoo

**Aroma:** “Strong, perfumey coriander with deep, earthy notes, backed up by a light, sweet wheat aroma.” **Flavor:** “Big coriander notes! Crisp and refreshing with a good carbonic bite. Clear but creamy mouthfeel (almost like Cream of Wheat) with a nice grainy sweetness in the background. Well balanced with some tartness and a crisp, slightly cidery finish.” **Overall:** “Good example of the style except for an odd earthy aroma. But very clean and refreshing. Spices are well balanced with the malt. Refreshing and herbal character is showcased. An easy drinking wit, but if you don’t like coriander, you won’t like this beer!”

“The brilliant clarity and attractive effervescence make this one good-looking beer, but it came across a bit simple and one-dimensional in both aroma and flavor with a fairly straightforward wheat-malt character balanced by some simple floral hops.”

Aroma: “A nice spring day on Marienplatz in Munich. Starts with a whiff of sulfur aroma and moves into light bready Pilsner malt and restrained spicy German hops (herbaceous, floral), and light white grape–juice notes.” Flavor: “Grainy but still crisp and fairly dry. Emphasis on hops is slightly pronounced. Slightly bitter. Nice bread and light Pilsner malt flavor. Medium-light mouthfeel.” Overall: “The nose is perfect. Nice malty flavor. A little dry and bitter for the style but very drinkable. Quite enjoyable and broadly in the helles style.”
