Empyrean Brewing Company Better World Wheat

The Empyrean Brewing Company is in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Better World Wheat Belgian Style Wheat Ale - What can I say?  I am not a very big fan of wheat beers, whether they be American wheats, American Belgian Style, Belgian wheats, German Hefeweizens, etc.  The yeast to me always imparts an aroma and taste of fake banana flavoring that is off-putting to me.  This particular beer has that same thing going on, but then right behind is a nice lager beer taste, a dry finish, and a strange floral-herb flavor that is enjoyable but is hard to describe.  Must be because they use chamomile flowers in this brew.  As the beer warms up in the glass, the chamomile comes forward and it is like drinking a chamomile tea flavored lager.  Unique and strange but pleasant.  4.3% ABV.  From the bottle: "Save the Earth - There's Nowhere Else With Beer!"
