Harpoon Catamount Maple Wheat

Maple Wheat poured a clear, copper color with a pen width, white head. The aroma is mild, with a little bready malt and a faint trace of maple.  The body is short, with a flat mouthfeel, bready malt and burnt grain.  The beer finishes with a mild dryness.

Overall, an average beer. It is easy drinking, but tastes more like an amber lager than a wheat beer.  The maple is hardly noticeable which is debatable if this is a negative or positive.  A bland beer that needs a little bit more body.   

Dogfish Head Namaste

Namaste poured a cloudy, yellow color with a two fingered width, white head.  The aroma is light, with wheat, spices and plenty of lemon.  The body is delicate, with plenty of lemon, some earthy notes, and a little citrus zest on the backend.  The beer finishes with a light, yeasty dryness and left the glass coated with hanging lace. 

Overall, a great seasonal beer that will be fantastic in the summer and above average during the colder months.  The entire beer is a little light, even for a Belgian wit, but the flavor profile is complex and offers enough to satisfy.  A decent beer from Dogfish that will be plenty enjoyable during the warmer months.
