Angry Cedar Wheat Wave

The Angry Cedar Brewing Company is in Waverly, Iowa.  It takes its name from the devastating June 2008 flood of the Cedar River.  "When life gives you water, make beer."  This is their 3.5% ABV wheat ale.

The beer pours a slightly hazy pale golden yellow in color.  There is a half inch of pure white head that leaves light sticky lacing down the glass.  The aroma is golden grain, lightly toasted french bread, and a light yeastiness that includes an estery hint of banana.  The taste follows the aromas directly, giving a light lemony citrus tart note on the finish.  It has a fine champagne-like carbonation and drinks refreshing.  This makes a great summer drinker and would be great with a wedge of lemon.  It is slightly watery in the mouth at times, but otherwise is quite good.  I have quite frankly been disappointed with the Angry Cedar beers I have tried to date, but this one is a winner.
