Description:
Snap! You just captured an unfiltered wheat beer full of refreshment and a flash of tart at the finish. Smile-inducing aromas of citrus hops jump from the nose, accompanied by the sweetness of coriander and grains of paradise. Brewed with wheat and pale malt, Snapshot pours a hazy, lemon-yellow with bright-white lacing. But the real enticement is the snap of tart. New Belgium’s affinity for sour beers led to the in-process blending of lactobacillus to pucker up Snapshot’s base. An extra step to acidify and beautify and get this beer ready for its close up.

Comments
Great all purpose beer
New Belgium's Snapshot looks a lot like a glass of pineapple juice, but with a thin white head which evaporated quickly. Sweet malts, lemon, and a bit of grassy hops when I sniff the glass. The taste is somewhat sweet bread and a note of sour. Quite a refreshing beer!
Like Wheat Beer or Not - Try It!
Pours a very cloudy light orange with a finger of a bright white and rocky head. Head sticks around for a respectable amount of time.
Strong citrus and slightly sour wheat aroma, and a hint of bready malt as well.
Very smooth and balanced flavor with a the soft wheat flavors balancing nicely against a light citrus hop and a crisp, and bready pale malt. Bitterness is quite low and the aftertaste very quick.
A medium body with moderate carbonation.
Wheat beers are becoming a dime a dozen, and that is making the good ones a bit harder to find. The Snapshot by New Belgium is a tasty and easy to drink wheat beer that is easy for (most) people to find.
