Golden colour. Slightly sweaty, vaguely fruity aroma. Bland, watery, with light bready malts and only the vaguest wheatiness. Inoffensive.

Botella. Grainy wheaty aroma. Fair mouthfeel. Flavour of something wheaty , bit sweet with grains and gras, bit grassy. Disappointing.

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 yellow and headless, this had an aroma of Wheaties, candy corn, and field grasses. Highly carbonated and gassy, this had a grainy wheat flavor with a drop of honey and a light, grassy bitterness. Candy sweet finish.

Golden wheat with a creamy white head. Malty aroma with grassy light mineral notes. In mouth, refreshing malt, cooling, biscuitty notes, medium bodied.

341 ml bottle from Premier Wine and Spirits in Halifax, NS (May 2007) sampled just a bit above fridge temperature from an Allagash glass. About a finger of snowy, smooth head shows up briefly atop the bright, faintly hazy-oily gold body before disappearing with no lacing left.....nose of honey, a bit of lilac, faint lemon-bananas, a bit of worty malts....on the tongue there is just a touch of berry sweetness at the front but it’s an unkept promise as quickly a dry, somewhat alkaline character takes over, smothering flavor and fruitiness; from midpalate on this is thin, dry, brackish and watery, with a pronounced metallic character to the hard, joyless finish...low to moderate carbonation, unpleasant, soulless.
