Appalachian Water Gap Wheat
This light refreshing wheat beer is sure to delight. Our special yeast and blend of malted and unmalted wheat provide the haze in our unfiltered style ale. This beer is traditionally served with a lemon slice on the side.

Draft at the Collegeville brewpub with a lemon wedge. Pours clear yellow with a bunch of fizz. The aroma is big lemon. The taste is grainy and bland.
Weak flavor and a bit skunky. Aroma is also skunky and grassy. Had on tap at Harrisburg.
Aroma of corn, yeast, wheat, malt and hop. Flavor is roasted malt, metallic, nutty, earthy and corny. Good lager but it has that astringent metallic and alcoholic taste that gives me a headache. Idk what it is but Yuengling does the same thing.
Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a hazy golden colored body leaving no head, and some fizziness is heard when it was poured. Some light carbonation is seen rising.
The smell was wheat and lemon up front.
The taste was basically the same.
The palate was about a light to medium in body, semi-carbonated and watery.
Overall, though I got this in a year round variety pack, this seems more of a beer that would be better in the summer. Not bad, but nothing spectacular, and decent for the style.
Ehh. I think they missed the yeast / malt combination on this one. Pours yellow - orange with some light carbonation. Aroma is slight skunk with some lemongrass. Decent mouth feel, lively carbonation, finishes with a dry bite.
A cloudy amber color. Some orange/lemon flavoring but overall not a whole lot of flavor or body. A lighter tasting beer
Draft at the brewpub in Gettysburg. Pours hazy pale gold with a thin white head. Tastes like cereal, malt, musk, and some lemon. Light body and low carbonation. Smells like musk and lemon.
Tap at Appalachian, Collegeville, 29/11/13.
Hazed orange amber with a thin off white head that clears to edgeing.
Nose is thin, faint bread dough, lemon rind, light grassy notes.
Taste comprises light citrics, faint orange ring, grassy.
Medium bodied, little in the way of carbonation - poor feel, sweet closure.
Sub par nonsense devoid of flavour and body. And the stoopid lemon got dumped before I went anywhere near sipping from the glass, just remind me the last time I had a wheat based beer in either Belgium or Germany and someone stuck a fucking piece of lemon in it !?!?!?
A: Hazy Golden Straw Hue, Passes Some Light, White Head Ring, Some Lacing
S: Mild Wheat, Mild Lemon
T: Wheat, Mild Lemon
M: Decent Carbonation, Light Bodied, Mildly Tart, Watery
Overall, a nice light and refreshing beer but the watery finish detracts the overall experience. They serve it with a lemon wedge too...rated without the lemon but actually tasted better with it sadly.
12oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a thin head that settles to a white ring. Aroma is pleasingly wheaty. Taste is crisp and refreshing with a medium, satisfying body; not sweet, not bitter. A slight citrus note lingers briefly on the palate before dissipating completely. A refreshingly light wheat ale.
Bottle. Sour wheat malt aroma. Hazy golden yellow with a moderate white head. Sour wheat malt and light grassy bitter flavor. Light body, soft carbonation. Not horrible, not great.
Pours a light golden into the glass, with no retentive head of which to speak, and lots of fizzy carbonation... leaving no real lacing. The nose is of some farm grains and corn. Flavors are of light hay, tiny grains, some corn and muddled fruitiness, finishing with a sweet corn husk effervescence. The mouth is definitely active with zesty carbonation, but seems somewhat thin on the palate, as the medium-light body doesn’t contain a lot of substance, nor complexity. This isn’t necessarily "watery", but unassumingly mediocre with a bit of a "sweetened seltzer" feel. Not the best example of style.
12oz bottle from ABC variety pack. Poured into pint glass, hazy-orangy golden color with white head. Aroma of wheat and lemon peel. Taste adds some fruity yeast, faint spices and mild bitterness. Light body, medium carbonation, crisp, clean. Pretty refreshing, could use a little more flavor.
Draft at gettysburg location. Hazy orangish yellow pour, with a white head. Wheat malt, light citrus, light banana bread, and some yeast. Light and easy drinking. A good summer beer. Not world class, but well done.
Straw in color with a small white, quickly dissipatring head and a faint citrus aroma. The taste is watered down sweet and the aftertaste has a barely noticeable smoky hit. It reminds me of a light beer. It’s not a repeat offering.
On tap at brewpub. Hazy yellow pour, not much head. Aroma is yeasty, metallic notes, citrus peel, just off. Taste is citric with a long yeast aftertaste, kind of dirty. Palate is almost flat. Definitely not the best in this style.
Light beer with Orange flavor. Alright beer I would drink it if I wanted something with a meal. Maybe with some kind of pasta dish.
Poured from bottle into nonic pint glass. This review will be a thin as the beer. They say "light", I say "watery". They say "special yeast", I say "dank". The malt profile is slightly wheaty with perhaps some light carmel, and there is no hop character besides the mild bittering. There’s something I don’t like in the flavor, and I think it’s a yeast issue. I get the same dank flavor from Saranac beers. No good.
Draft, served with a lemon. Cloudy yellow color. Aroma of lemon. Tadte is banana bubblegum and citrus.
Not sure why this is rated so low on here. It’s a very average wheat beer. Nothing outstanding, but also nothing bad about it. It’s enjoyable, especially in warm weather.
A little thin for a wheat beer. Has the yeast and wheat flavos, but watery.
So far I think this company skimps on its ingredients.
good aroma and light color. its a nice light wheat beer that is fairly balanced and goes down pretty easy.
Pours a pale yellow. Served at camp hill brewpub. Starts clean with a bit of sweet but ends a bit too sour and not too crisp
Bottle. Lightly sour lemon and wheat malt flavor. Slightly hazy golden yellow color with small head. Sweet-tart lemon, hay and wheat malt flavor. Nice body (especially for a wheat beer). Very nice.
Tap. Pours mostly hazy gold with thin white head; short retention and spare lacing. Aroma is wheat, citrus fruit, and cookie malt. Flavor is heavy malt, faint hops,and average citrus esters; semi-sweet finish. Light body, medium carbonation, and low warmth.
Meh, it’s okay, but I want a wheat beer to be oozing in clove/banana/spice aroma, not simply the flavor profile. Yellow color.
Flat pour into a jelly jar from Hops in the Hills 2011. Head is faint, only surfacing once this is twirled a through times around. Taste is corn, sour malt, husky corn flakes, light tangerine, and fluffy spiced grain. There is a sharp bit at first sip, ushering in the wheatfulness this beer holds. Color is copper orange and rusted apricot. A average wheat, but has a sense of quality to it.
Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a lasting head. Slightly wheaty nose. Taste has just a slight tang to it that let’s you know you are drinking a wheat beer. Other than that it is very middling and nonpresent.
Hazy orange coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of wheat, curacao, yeast and a good amount of unfinished sugars. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong yeast and wheat flavours shown up front with a little sweetness and a bit of hay in the mix. Aftertaste shows some light grassy and herbal notes, some light sugars and a touch of citrus and orange tastes. Overall, not such a great wheat - not horrible either, but not really a keeper. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 09-November-2011 for US$1.99 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 12-November-2011.
Draft @ ABC, Harrisburg, PA.Pours a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Has a fruity wheaty spicy aroma. Fruity wheat malty spicy flavor. Has a fruity wheat malty grainy finish.
