🌍 United States · American Wheat Ale · One of 31 American Wheat Ales in hopIQ

Choc Beer Company's flagship pale wheat — named 1919 for the year Pete began perfecting his version of the Choctaw tribe's recipe. Light body, extra-clean finish, quiet fruit character riding on the wheat backbone. Still in production over a century later, packaged as the brewery's core year-round beer under the Choc marque.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A modest white head forms with good initial retention, settling into a thin collar that clings delicately to the glass. Carbonation is visible and lively, with fine bubbles rising steadily.

Aroma

The nose leads with clean wheat grain and subtle bready notes, underpinned by a quiet fruity character. Delicate floral and herbal notes emerge from noble hop varieties, contributing gentle spice without assertiveness. The overall impression is restrained and approachable, with no harsh or oxidative qualities.

Taste

The palate opens with light, smooth wheat malt and an understated bready sweetness that carries through the mid-palate. Minimal bitterness (14 IBU) allows the grain character to remain the focus, while subtle fruity esters add dimension without complexity. The finish is remarkably clean, with no cloying sweetness or sharp edges.

Finish

Crisp and dry with no lingering heaviness or aftertaste. The fade is quick and refreshing, leaving only a faint impression of grain and a gentle drying sensation on the palate.
