Commercial Description:
Willy, named after my brother-in-law’s childhood nickname, is crisp and light-bodied, with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. The hopping is mild and gentle. It’s perfect for times when you crave a beer utterly refreshing and low in alcohol. A true thirst quencher everyone enjoys. 1.047 OG 4 IBU 4.9%ABV

Bottle from South Bay Drugs: Slightly hazy pale gold color with a small brite white head. Aroma is wheat with a faint hint of lemon. Flavor starts with a lighty sweet citrus fruityness followed by subtle seltzer like spicy bitter finish. Light body is thin with lively carbonation.

Ehh... Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color. Thin white head that leaves maybe a touch of lace. Not a great nose to it. Smells a little malty sweet but also a little like wet dish towel. Tastes malty sweet, somewhat straw like. Thin with ok carbonation. Ehh, its alright.

Pours a cloudy straw color with a minimal white soapy head. Nothing much in the nose, a little grain and a hint of sweet malt. A minor nut flavor then the rest is corn like. Very minimal taste. Thin in the mouth but not crisp. Drinkable if you want something very light and flavorless.

Bomber, coourtesy of Secret Santa - Thanks! I didn’t know this was a wheat ale until right now. So, obviously, I didn’t pick up a lot of wheat character. Nonetheless, I did enjoy this beer. Bready, mildy citrusy witha subtle bitterness at the end. Nice and easy drinking session beer.

Bomber from cbkschubert. Turbid yellowish toward lime green pour with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma is limey citrus, spicy florals, pale malt, hops. Tastes citric, with bready pale malt, spice, and honey notez. Pretty lively palate.

22oz bottle. thanks to miketd for this extra. pours hazy straw color with white head. nose is pretty lemony and wheaty. flavor is lemony, wheaty, corn, and some sweetness from the malts. hops aren’t noticed. clean wheaty finish. very watery. low but almost prickly carbonation. this is a poor example of the style. added to chili. hope it tastes better in there.

Pour is a golden, mostly clear, with a nice white head. Aroma of citrus...mostly lemon. Also notes of corn and sweet malts. Flavor is weak with sweetness from the malt and almost no hop presence.
