Mar 9, 2005 Sampled draught at Bend Brewing Company, Bend
Hazy gold color, no head. Citrusy of orange (had a lemon wedge in it) with some musty malts hiding underneath. The flavor is a bit (WAY!) too husky & chalky, 2-row when it should have pilsner. Finishes artificially malty & citrusy. I don’t like this.

Jan 12, 2005 Glowing murky yellow. Light flavors overall... good medium thickness but not much to taste.. light lemon and wheat... sweet and citrusy but not deep. Soapy nose loses this one some points.

Mar 21, 2006 Cloudy and hazy golden with a wonderful egg white head. Very substantial this one has staying power, unfortunately the flavor does not. Grainy toasted cereal malt flavor. A typical NW style American Wheat.

Aug 25, 2005 (Draft: Bend Brewing Company in Bend, OR) Sweet, fruity and lightly spicy nose is mildly aromatic, nothing too enticing, but it leads into the beer appropriately because the flavor is also pretty light and basic. Mild wheat flavor is somewhat sweet and fruity, perhaps an orange citrus fruitiness, with hardly any bitterness at all. Light bodied, kind of thin for a hefeweizen, but with enough sweetness that it doesn’t turn watery in the finish. Medium straw color, fairly cloudy in appearance, with a small white head that rapidly fades to a small rim, leaving no lacing behind. Really, just an inoffensive, light flavored beer that’s extremely easy to drink.

Nov 30, 2003 Draft at brewery: Clear and light golden. Light on the tongue, but with a lively carbonation. Malts were light but very sweet. None of the typical clove or banana hefe aromas/flavors to be found. At least it had some nice hops, which were flowery and herbal -- very aromatic.
