Tasted: Grass Cutter Wheat Ale

By scot in Home Brewing on Wednesday, August 13th, 2014

This beer continues to evolve (first time, second time and third time blogged about). It has been brewed multiple times between with another batch ready to bottle in a week or so.

Why bring it up? Isn’t it ordinary?

I bring it up because I really enjoyed this last batch and the current batch that is fermenting was brewed to the same specifications as the last. The first time I have followed this beer up with a re-brew. I added 3 grams of bitter and sweet orange peel to the boil and, for the first time, added 3 grams of bitter and sweet orange peel, soaked in vodka, at bottling. Of course I only added the orange vodka mixture to the bottling bucket.

I no longer believe this beer to be ordinary. It isn’t extraordinary either. It is just a solid summer wheat beer with a nice orange citrus twist, well balance and easy to drink with friends. It goes over great, making it the perfect gathering beer. Enjoy!
