Mar 10, 2005 Light brown with a creamy head and stringy lacing. Wheat aromas with some sourish notes. Sourdough maybe. Citrus and some spice. The flavor consists of wheat, bitter hops, and lemons. Not much else. Medium body with a bitter finish.

Dark amber color with light head/lacing. Nose of clove & banana, esters abound, lots of wheat. The flavor is sweet, a little malty with hops, not too bad but an interesting color for a wheat, very similar to the amber.

Aug 10, 2004 Semi-cloudy orange, slightly sweet nose of bread and burnt orange, not very powerful. Nothing exciting... some burnt nuts and bread, not appealing.

Nov 21, 2003 Astoria (Wet Dog Cafe) on tap: I think the chalkboard called it "Willapa Wheat." Golden-orange and hazy with a soapy head. Very crisp and carbonated. Light malts without much sweetness. Very spicy (Saaz I suspect) and bitter. Bitterness lingered a little too long, by the way. Slightly unbalanced ... needed more of a malt backbone and a little more sweetness to complement the hop influence.
