JUNCTION CRAFT BREWING ~ OLYMPIA LOOPING RED WHEAT ALE

Sampled from a bottle, Olympia Looping is a red wheat ale made with Red X malt (known for producing red fiery coloured brews). The beer poured a hazy deep amber-red-rust colour with a generous off white sudsy foam, which left a nice cap and some lacing. The nose is mild with some bubble gum, banana, mild spice and orchard and stone fruits. Tastes much like you would expect from a wheat beer, with a pleasant dry slightly bitter finish. The brew contained lots of off sweet tangy fruity flavours as well, making this quite a refreshing summer sipper. The beer was on the medium side of light in body and the carbonation was slightly soft. A decent sessionable summer drink. BTW “Olympia Looping” is the name of the largest portable steel roller coaster in the world, complete with five loops.
