12 ounce bottle. Poured a hazy yellow color with a quarter of a finger width white frothy head. It had a good amount of carbonation initially also. The aroma consisted of some citrus hints, wheat, and some malt. The taste was fairly boring for a wheat ale. It consisted of some citrus, malt, some sweetness, and a bit of metal. I did like the mouthfeel of this brew though... it felt a bit heavier than other wheats. Overall, a decent brew but nothing special...

A golden ale with a thin white head, A rather sweet caramel malt aroma, a bit buttery. In mouth, crisp and caramelly malt with light saaz hops, a bit buttery. Medium bodied. On tap at Tutu Tango, April 10 2009.

Overall Impression: Pretty nice, drinkable summer wheat (is this really that much better then the wheats from other Brewhouse’s?) It’s a little better, but it’s a lot of hype too...

Pours hazy straw yellow with a white head. Sweet malt aroma with hints of grass, orange, and wheat. Flavor is similar, spiced wheat, some citrus and a subtle sweetness. Medium to light body, crisp and smooth. Not the best beer in the world but it makes a great grill-out companion.

Hazy yellow-orange with a white head. Malty aroma with cirus and spice. Flavor is subtle, but with a nice refreshing, spicy, lightly hoppy finish. Excellent summer beer. Always has a special place in my heart as the first beer I really liked.

Poured a hazy yellow/orange color with moderate white head. White particles floating throughout. Light malt. Aroma of citrus - grapefruit,orange,tangerine, pear, peach. One or more of those, I cannot decide. More citrus than wheat for me. Flavor of grain, citrus. Easy, smooth finish. Very easy going down. Not overly flavorful - all the aromas and flavor are subtle, and that is no necesarily a bad thing. IMO a very good summer session beer.

Nice wheat malt and spicy hops in the presentation. An excellent summer ale. Dense white head, and classic wheat beer haze.

I’ve been drinking this for years now and never realized that I haven’t rated it. Pours a soft hazy orange with a nice thick frothy white head. Aroma is very very wheaty. Some citrus fruit and sweet fruit nectar. Flavor starts with a big grainy wheat kick with the big grainy flavor. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A definite refresher for the summer.
