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 good for a session.

Draught at C’est What. Pours a clear bubbly orange with a small creamy white head. Very mild aroma of grain, grass and corn -- very dull. Watery, mild flavour of grain, some sweet malt and a very light bitter finish -- hard to tell as there’s so little flavour. Light bodied. So, so dull -- not even worth drinking.

Not as good as the other beers made in calgary. Brewsters and wildrose are better. Thick head with a hoppy taste. Wheat is faint and almost non-existant. Can find on tap in most Calgary bars.

very disappointing (from a can). nice thick head that dissipated in about 10 seconds. hints of wheat, but mostly standard lager. nice hop aftertaste. Overall, an ok beer, but the taste swings too close to the macro side to give it any strong ratings.

On tap at The Bomber. "Popsicle sticks in fall" aroma. Garbagey. Flavour reminiscent of swiss cheese. Interesting. Medium to light body. Slightly dry. Mild hop aftertaste.

On tap @ Moxie’s: Small smooth head over a hazy golden-green body. Citrus and banana in the nose. Faint wheat taste with hints of bar-mix and sweet esters. Light-bodied and smooth on the way down...nothing special.

Slightly rusty golden pour with a clingy white head. Sweet acidic scent. Watery taste, not much going on there. A hint of hops and a touch of biterness in the finish. A very slight taste of citrus in the middle. Definately one of the weakest wheat beers I have had. This used to be a favourite of mine before I had try so many better beers. A poor example of the style.

Bottle. Sweet fruit aroma. Clear light pale golden appearance. Thin to no head. Smooth honey flavour. Not much going on in this glass. It would quench a thirst. Just a sugary brew for me I feel.
