Commercial Description:
This true American-style unfiltered wheat has something a little special – the nectar of the great Salmiana Agave. Agave complements the refreshingly light quality of our wheat and adds a subtle note of flavor that expands this beer’s uplifting taste profile. It is familiar, yet creative.

Bottle shared by B-ill, so I can thank him for now knowing what agave tastes like. The beer pours an unufiltered-looking golden color with a thin and soapy white head that dissipates quickly. Wheat and agave in the nose. Light-bodied with a citrusy character and wheat and spice in the background. The finish is clean and fruity with a sweet honey aftertaste. I would probably have this over tequila but that is not saying a lot.

Pours a cloudy, light amber. There’s a slightly sweet fruitiness to the beer that I"m going to assume comes from the agave. I can see the similarity to that disgusting can of pulque I had a few years ago. This is far from disgusting, but perhaps a little sweet for a session beer.

I’d say that the agave is mostly in name only. I had a mix six pack that I had randomly and I didn’t even note any other tastes except the wheat, yeast, malt, etc. Overall, it wasn’t that bad. Very clean. Light notes of citrus with some grain flavors.

Bottle from Dad. Light foggy gold, white head. Aroma is wheat, light citrus, lime like not- No agave showing. Taste is wheat, light citrus, faint agave which adds an accent but not enough for me to put it in the name. It’s not bad, but nothing I would want when it’s cold outside.

12oz, bottle, not terribly bad, not terribly great, nothing standoutish... taste is of a wheat beer with some sweetness type note coming through.... aftertaste is something tequila like... but not in a good way.

Although I didn’t notice even a hint on an aroma, it was a nice looking beer in the glass: misty pale golden color with lots going on in the glass. Taste was relatively simple, but refreshing. The strangest thing about this beer is that even after having drank an entire 6-pack I have still have no idea what ’agave’ tastes like. If ’agave’ is in this beer, it is pretty darn faint. Enjoy, but don’t expect to be impressed.

Pours a golden hue with a white head. Does not taste much like a wheat beer because its more flowery. 12 oz. bottle

Nice interpretation of the wheat. A little offensive on the initial sip, but then it settles in. Very fruity and corn-like. Worth a try, refreshing. Hazy in appearance, and somewhat darker than most wheats.
