Not to sound like a broken record or anything, but as we’ve mentioned on many an occasion in many a beer review, wheat beers were a bit of a gateway to the wild and wooly world of Craft Beer for us. After years of drinking many a Lager or Pilsner, German Wheat beers (aka Hefeweizens) opened our eye to a new world of flavor.

On today’s episode of A Tasting at The Murder Table, we’re headed back to Comstock Park, Michigan’s Perrin Brewing Company for a review of a wheat beer with a twist. Willow Wheat is its name. Here’s what they have to say about it:
