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.

Oct 12, 2007 I remember the clean crisp taste of water to it but all joking aside it was very nice. Better with a lemon.

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

Jan 28, 2007 the six pack looks like its been sitting on the shelf for about 5 years. slightly hazy gold with a huge creamy white head. very hoppy aroma. flavor is hoppy(flowery) as well. no banana notes. more like a pale ale to me.

Nov 13, 2006 A light golden color with just a tad of cloudiness, this is forgiving to the palate but no hefeweizen. Tastes lightly of vanilla with a bit of lemon zest thrown in. A bit hoppy for a wheat beer. A good credible brew, but nothing to get worked up over.

Aug 23, 2006 According to the descriptions, this has aspirations towards being a hefeweizen. In reality, it’s a mediocre American wheat, clear golden in body with a modest white head. It smells of Wheaties witha very slight hint of banana and a light zest of lemon tartness. The wheat remains in the flavor and the banana is lost. The lemon zest turns into a bitterness that lasts into the finish. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=5585> Friar Tuck Wines, Sprirts, & Beverages, Bloomington, IL<font size=-1>
