Agave Wheat

Tap to rate

A crisp, light-bodied wheat ale brewed with agave nectar — the Colorado craft answer to a Blue Moon crowd. Silky wheat texture, faint white-pepper spice from the agave, and a bright citric finish. Sweet in the very restrained sense — dry enough for a hike, smooth enough for a taco. Approachable without being basic.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft wheat character alongside subtle honey and floral notes. Agave nectar contributes a faint white-pepper spice that avoids heaviness, creating a clean aromatic profile. Light citric undertones emerge on closer inspection, while the overall impression remains crisp and approachable rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a silky, light-bodied entry dominated by wheat character and a subtle bready note. Mid-palate reveals restrained sweetness from agave—enough to round the profile without cloying—balanced by modest herbal bitterness. The finish is bright and citric, with a dry enough conclusion to avoid lingering sweetness.
