Beer Review: All Saints Sophie's Summer Wheat

Serving Type: Draft

ABV: 4.1 percent

Appearance: Sophie's Summer Wheat pours a light shade of what can be classified as something in between a gold and an orange. There's an immediate, yet thin, white head which dissipates quickly and doesn't leave much lacing. There isn't a lot of visible carbonation. This beer appears very appetizing as it doesn't look watered-down, but looks very calm. As it is a wheat beer, It's reminiscent of the last beer I reviewed, Troegs DreamWeaver Wheat, which is also a translucent wheat.

Smell: There's plenty of wheat to go around in this beer. Next comes what I like to refer to as cobbler or pie effect in beers of this type. I also got nice hints of both peach and apricot.

Taste: The wheat and both fruits mix very well to create a very refreshing and crisp flavor. Really preferred flavors on hot and muggy days.

Overall Rating: 

I'm a big fan of fruit beers, many of which include apricot nowadays. This beer was very crisp and refreshing. An excellent choice for a hot and muggy day. The only thing that was missing was a lively and creamy head and a little carbonation in the mouthfeel.
