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 (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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 (5534), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

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 (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 18, 2005 Jax Package Store - Sandy Springs (Atlanta) Ga, 12 oz bottle. Pours a murky, medium golden with a thick bubbly white head. Odd aroma, not unpleasant, brief band-aids, some nectarine fruitiness. Crisp flavor with some faint estery notes, brief bitter hopiness and so\me doughy maltiness. Runs the gamut, but does not excel lin any. Thick enough mouthfeel. Not a bad American wheat, not one of my more sought out styles. Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 6, 2003 A chill hazed yellow orange color on the pour, the head is average in size, frothy and a bright white in color, lace forms a fine sheet upon the glass. Sweet, almost apple like in aroma, light hints of wheat, fresh, crisp and clean to the senses, with the start sweet, top is light in feel. Finish is mild in acidity, the hops pleasant, dry and lingering aftertaste, drinkable, but nothing to call home about, actually rather average. Suttree (2743), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 30, 2003 Cloudy yellow and white head - typical wheat appearance. as the description says, a little more hops and a little less wheat - so much so that to me, there is not enough wheat character. taste almost like a typical run of the milll pale ale.
