Style:
Wheat
Serving Type:
Bottle

6.0%
Aroma:
Aroma is a little fruity, vaguely citrus and mellow.

A little spicy and full of yeast. Citrus doesn't come through. Aftertaste is a little bitter
Mouthfeel:
Smooth like you'd expect from a wheat. A little astringent on the palate
Overall Impression:
The Thunderbolt Wheat was mediocre at best. I was thouroughly unimpressed by the flavors, or lack there of. This beer is deceptively wheaty, it looks and smells the part but the taste just isn't there. Maybe it was just this bottle, but I can't really suggest you pick a bottle up based on how this pint was.
I've seen a few of the Warbird beers on the store shelves for a while now and I've never been all that interested in trying one. Finally I decided I'd pick up a bottle of the Thunderbolt Wheat, figuring that a wheat beer is something just about every American micro brewery gets right. So I decided to play it say, and I'm pretty glad I did because if they missed the mark on a wheat I'd hate to taste their more adventurous beers. This pint of Thunderbolt Wheat got off to a good start. The beer pours a nice yellow color that settles to be a cloudy orange with a decent aroma. Everything seemed to be going well, until I took my first sip at least... You see, this beer isn't like any wheat I've ever had, and by that I mean it doesn't taste like a wheat beer. This beer is bland in flavor but still a bit spicy. It finishes a little bitter, something I've never really tasted in a wheat before. There just isn't much more to say about this beer. I simply didn't care for the flavors they put into this beer. Perhaps it was just a bad bottle I got... but it didn't leave a good impression on me.

Thanks for information!
Thanks for information! I'have tasted it - "The World's Most Drinkable Craft Beer". I must confess that it isn't so good as it was described at the site http://www.picktorrent.com . First of all, they should use only the highest quality ingredients, so that we could easy drink and enjoy.
