As you'll probably read more than once on my blog, I'm not a huge fan of wheat beers. That is, they are well down the list when I'm looking for something new to try. That said, Three Boys' Wheat is probably up there in my all time favourite beers. So all those that follow, have a lot to live up to.
Great White is always in the fridge at work - and it is restocked regularly. However, I can't say I've ever seen anyone drinking it at the agency bar. Perhaps it's more of a 'at-your-desk' kind of beer. Perhaps even a sneaky early morning ale, disguised in a stainless steel thermos mug. Either way - Great White is definitely a staple in the agency's fridge.
Like Great White's label reads, "...it pours a cloudy pale straw.." pretty standard for a wheat beer. It has a creamy head which clings nicely to the side of the glass. There's a touch of honey and a marmalade-on-bread kind of aroma. It has a medium body, and a pleasant ginger and clove spiciness that lingers. It is a refreshing drop for a lazy summer's afternoon but it's just a bit ordinary. If I was going to choose a wheat beer - I would be reaching for my fave.
