Shag (1787), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA Aug 10, 2003 Updated: Aug 16, 2003Interesting twist on a wheat beer. Apperance is yellowish/orange. Aroma is a mixture of fruit, hops, and bread. Flavor is quite sharp and dry with a nice hop bite. There is some wheat taste showing but its pretty tame. Slightly sour aftertaste. Im not a fan of wheat beers but this one is a little more my speed. harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Aug 6, 2006 Decent, with alot of upfront yeastiness, a big puffy white head and a hint of cloudy haze in the golden pour. Smooth and creamy with a nice bitter bite in the finish. Defeinitely one of the best things ever to come out of Butte Creek and exceptionally good for an American style wheat. hopscotch (4591), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Aug 14, 2002 This beer rocks.
It’s unlike any wheat beer I’ve tasted. I think it’s about 65% wheat malt and 35% barley malt. Nice aroma, but not spicy or fruity like most wheats. Very floral. Hopped like a pale ale or mild IPA. Wheat ale? Interesting and delicious. HOPHEADS, this is your wheat beer. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 07/12/1997

light spicy fruity clove aroma, good amount of hop flavor, light bitterness in the finish, a cross between a wheat and a pale ale

Aurelius (2507), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 17, 2003 Malty, citric and a little vinegar nose. Lightly hazy, lemony colored, bad label, beady head. Medium hopping, dry, medium acidity. Dry, bitter medium finish. Servicable, but uninspiring. I sampled this following Widmer's wheat, and I think I liked the Widmer's better.
