Lemon, yeast, earth, corn, grainy aroma. Clear golden with frothy white head. Lemon, grain, earth, with mild fruit flavours. Balanced with medium bitter finish.

Poured from bottle into Pint glass. Bright golden yellow with little head but very active looking. Aroma of semi-sweet wheat malt, citrus and Pilsner-like hops. Seems like a cross between an American Wheat and a Pilsner. Some grainy wheat, light citrus and spicy hops. Ends somewhat bitter. Moderately high carbonation, relatively light body and somewhat dry finish, plus the nice Pilsner-like taste leads to an extremely drinkable summer beer. Also, at 4.7%, it is a great session beer.

I was not impressed then again I am not much into the American Wheat beer style, only the real hefe weizens. The beer was very pale yellow when served on tap. Not Big Sky’s best. I love the bottle graphics and the name.

Pours a clear pale yellow. The head is about an inch in size, is white and retains and lace nicely. The aroma is sweet with a hint of hops. Honey, floral, funky hops, and yeast. The taste is a mess, weird, funky hops with a cake-ish yeastiness. Palate is nice, but this beer... Not the best from big sky.

12 oz bottle. Did someone pour a Budweiser into this microbeer bottle? This is the blandest micro I’ve ever had, without a doubt. This is a wheat ale? What the hell went wrong here? Addendum: the last quarter of the glass is better. Some flavors emerge that I can’t quite identify. Still, I’m sticking with my original statement: blandest micro ever.
