Slightly bitter, doesn’t quite taste like a typical wheat. Has a ’summer’ flavor to it. Very good beer.

Without a doubt the best American wheat I’ve ever had. Crisp, fruity, orangey, juicy, with a spiciness from the Saaz that lent a zip to the otherwise clean aftertaste. Refreshing and tart even without the usual yeasty notes of the hefes I love.

Bottle - thanks to Eyedrinkale! Pours golden-wheat color, very cloudy with a small white head. Aroma is light and citrusy, with yeast and sourdough bread notes. Refreshing wheaty sweet flavor with lemon, honey and mild summer fruits. Creamy, smooth body with light carbonation. Nice summer beer!

Pours a hazy golden with an average foamy white sustaining head. Aroma of citrus (lemon mostly), wheat, grains, malts, banana and spices. Flavors of the same. This one was smooth and refreshing with a light hop and yeast presence and a lingering sweetness.

On tap at Capital Ale House - Downtown. Very hazy orange body with a small creamy white head. Sweet caramel and spice flavor with a wheat background. Sweet fruity flavor, some caramel hints, some spice and a gentle banana ending.

Draft. Pours hazy golden with some orange hue, along with a white head. Spicy, lemon, and yeast aroma. Flavor of orange zest, lemon, apple balance by a spicy hop bitterness. Clean thirst quenching finish. Not normally a fan of american wheats, but this one is a an old staple and favorite of mine. The european ingredients is probably why I like this one so much. Great summer seasonal.

Maybe a bit too much citrus, but like it a lot. I just don’t understand the "cult status" it seems to enjoy to many who have raved about it to me. I want to try it sometime on tap, also want to try it side-by side with their Amber Ale, Pale Ale, and Winter Ales. I think I’ll buy up a fresh 6 pack about the time the Winter Ale comes out, or maybe make a pilgrimage to their Cafe in K-Zoo.
