Pours gold/amber with a lasting foamy off white head. Grassy, slightly lemony, traces of toasted cereal aroma. Thin body. Sweet and citric. Very light but evenly balanced. Notes of caramel. Light bitter finish. Decent and refreshing. But boring.

Another old summer favourite. What I find now when i revisit is still a nice fruity taste, slightly bitter and a very faint fruity aroma, but it is very very thin and more than a little watery. Again, perhaps on a warm summer day on a patio with few other choices.

On tap at the Winking Judge in Hamilton, Ontario. Pours a crisp and clean looking golden body. The smell is sweet and hoppy. It makes you want to drink this beer. Taste is slightly hoppy, fruity and sweet. Very light though if you look at some of the other wheats out there. This beer has a hoppy bitterness in it that feels nice on the tounge. An average tasting beer that will probably go good with a hot summer day.

Very pale yellow and crystal clear with a thin white head. Slight citrus aroma and some very mild wheat aroma. Very little flavour, some weak malted wheat and a number of different hops. Crisp finish. Not an outstanding beer, but I could drink about a thousand of 'em.

Golden hue with dishsoapy head. Sweet hoppy aroma, unusual for a wheat. Vaguely citrus burst at the first swallow, with a slight wheaty finish. OK light ale, not among the best American wheats I've had, however.

Effectively a slightly lemony ale, without much wheat beer character. Straw in colour, not much ehad. A bit over-carbonated. Nice on a hot summer day, but I'd prefer a real wiezen or wit.

I wonder what the point is with a clear wheat beer. Head disipates quickly. Thin,grassy taste also quickly diminishes. Big Rock should be more adventurous with this style.

Just recently had this at a pub in Edmonton and I really liked it. They served it with a lemon and I thought it really added to the taste.
