Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Hazy yellow brew with a humungous head that slowly flattens. Crisp, wheaty aroma with citrus overtones. Refreshing sweet and sour flavor with a slightly bitter finish. Crisp and refreshing but not light and watery. A very decent wheat ale.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Sahara Mart (Bloomington, IN), 5/15/09
Part of the totally and completely made up"The Geororodanda Beer Sampling Party"

Aroma: Lemony and wheaty
Appearance: Slightly hazy golden color
Flavor: Citrus sweetness with a nice light spice
Palate: Light to medium body, a little creamy, lots of carbonation
Overall Impression: A nice refreshing summer wheat, but not the best beer ever. Drinkable though...

Bottle from StFun, thanks Josh. Pours a very hazy yellow with a medium white head. Hay, off putting esters, old yeast. Medium bodied, very nice light carbonation, but not much going on in the flavor department. Finishes with a little bit of wheat. Not so good.

Bottle. Poured a two finger width, creamy white head. Very nice deep golden color with a hazy body and attractive clouds of yeast. The aroma is nice, but lacking - some wheat malt, a bit of bready yeastiness, but not much else. The flavor is again light on wheat, a touch of spice and a bit of hay as I exhaled. Slightly sweet finish with some mild bitterness. I really like the body - medium, creamy, but soft carbonation. Overall a decent wheat - its strongest suits are the appearance and palate. A different yeast would probably do wonders for the aroma and flavor - more phenols and esthers would be a good contribution.

Hazy orange pour with a white head. Aroma of sweet fruit, especially citrus, and yeast. Light body. Flavor of sweet fruits and pale malts.

(10/14/08) Bottle (thanks a lot archmik for this bottle!) sampled at my hostel room in Chicago. Hazy golden. Aroma of fruits, some wheat and hints of citrus. Sweetish wheaty flavor with fruits. Light-bodied.
