Pours with a deep gold that has a hint or orange coloring. The head is white with large bubbles. The aroma is fresh bread and some butter. There is also a little bit of thyme and other herbs. The taste also has a slight herbal quality. There are some notes of bread crust and a little bit of oranges. The mouthfeel is sharply carbonated. A sticky mouthfeel.

Nothing more than a pale lager, but fairly good at being that. Yellow, with a small head. A beer with the aroma and flavor sucked out of it.

nice head that quickly fades. golden color, looks like liquid gold, i am tepted. strong crystal hops aroma wiht a suttle spicyness to it. it is carbonated and spicy sharp, due to the crystal flavor.goes down thin and easy, like pabst. I could drink a lot of this but there is only so much of the overpowering crystal flavor.

Clear golden. Barely any head, very carbonated. Vegetable aroma. Taste is floral hops, lightly resinous. Finish is drying, slightly metallic and earthy.

Head is initially small, fizzy/frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers), with a note of lemon peel. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter, husky. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The commercial description doesn’t say this uses wheat, but it sure seems to be a textbook American Wheat to me. Not much in the nose, watery, thin, grainy/husky aftertaste. Not my first choice for a light summer quaffer (pass me that Reno’s Retirement, please).
