Bottle from Slob. Thanks! Pours too-clear yellow but with a nice head and lacing. Hoppy, sour citrus in the nose. Tastes like a watered-down IPA, with hints of musty hops and aged grapefruit. Mouthfeel is surprisingly thick. Wheat? More like an APA, but still good.

Not the best wheat. Avery makes a better wheat these days, perhaps that is why they stopped making this one. My sample is definitely old though.

I’m bucking the bad rating trend here: This is a decent unfiltered light amber colored wheat. There are the cheap elements - the perfumed aroma is only bailed out by the hop presence. The flavor leaves the feeling that if they doubled teh ingredients they’d have a solid barleywine. The finish is round and refreshing.

This beer pours an extremely clear yellow color with a medium white head and leaves very little lace on the glass. There was a little wheat in the aroma, but it wasn't very strong. The flavor was a very mild wheat taste, but there was a nice bit of malt and there was also some fruityness in there as well.

Good to see this one go.Smells pretty hoppy for the style.yellow color.Taste is alright w/some fake citrus hop twang.Aftertaste(finish) is weird(unenjoyable).For Avery this is not good but that's ok, because they stoped making this one.
