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 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.

12oz bottle(7/20/08)-A clear golden body with a small white head. Has the aroma of wheat, skunk, and malt. The flavor is of malt, wheat, and some sweetness. This light bodied brew is pretty boring for a wheat.

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.
