22 oz bomber purchased @ Southbay Drugs & Liquor. This beer poured as a straw blonde with a medium sized layer of foam for a head. It had a nice sweet grained malt aroma with a hint of lemon zest or possible coriander to the aroma. In the flavor, I find a flavorful yeast that has notes of spice and banana that is so close to a German hefe that I loved this wheat to the finish.

Cbkschubert gave me this 22oz bomber. Cracked it open when my dad was visiting he got a kick out the lable because he calls me Willy. Sweet malt with some pepper on the nose. Hazy Yellow body with white fizzy head that disapates fairly fast. Sweet tangy soapy with some bittering. Rfreshed the palate jast as it claims on the bottle. Good brew thanks Craig.

This american wheat pours with a golden body topped by a thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma and flavor are sweet and slightly malty with a fruity note and a touch of sugar(?). Light bodied, crisp and smooth.

650 ml bottle from Bev4less in Santee. This one pours a slightly cloudy yellow gold color with a small white head that soon fades to nothing. The aroma is moderate in strength with berries, hay and banana. The flavor is also moderate with strawberries, banana, almonds and some biscuit rounding out the sides. The mouthfeel is light and crisp without being thin and watery. The finish is long with more berries. Overall: a much better than average wheat ale. Recommended.

Draught @ Alpine Brewery

The beer pours a limpid gold, the head smallish and bright white, creamy texture and the lace a thin sheet to cover the glass. Nose is sweet with a slight hint of fresh ground wheat grain; clean and fresh, start is sweet, the grain profile pleasing and the top light to the palate. Finish is leanly acidic, the hops mild and gentle, clean to the palate, oh how I will yearn for this beer after a long and hot day here in the desert.
