Commercial Description:
Unlike traditional German wheat beers produced by other breweries, Abita Wheat is a lager, not an ale, contains a generous amount of wheat and, therefore, has a clean, simple flavor. Available from June to September.

Pours a slightly hazy light yellow color with a fizzy short lived white head. Smell is lightly funky, sweet and oddly sour wheat. Taste is sweet and wheaty yet thin and a bit strange. Drinkable, but not very good. Eh...

short, twlst-off, 12oz bottle. Clear golden color, white fizzy head. American Wheat? Golden/Blonde Ale. Nope. Its a lager. Aroma of bread crust. It flavor is something interesting. Miso soup. Imitation Miso soup made from unsalted saltines. Classic, traditional, yet missing something major. Overall this beer is clean and refreshing. Better than average for an Abita.

Pretty dissapointing, American Wheats overall are kind of bland in my opinion. Not enough wheat!! Bright golden, medium sized head. Wheat aroma is very faint. Touch of citrus fruit, hint of lime and a little bready at times.

Pours a clear golden color withe a thin film off almost white head that sticks around for a few minutes. Smell is under arms and funky farts with a spritz of wheaty lemon. Flavor is dough and not very interesting. High carbonation.

Had at Acme Oyster House in NOLA, the food was much better. Very thin and Macro-tasting. Yuck.
