Jul 2, 2003 Golden body with medium off-white head. Aroma is light wheat, lightly sweet. Taste is mild sweet up front, turns decent bitter (herbal). Some spicy too. Light/medium body.

Nov 18, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 6/24/07: Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a frothy clingy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet caramely wheat and a hint of doughy yeast. Body starts with a rich caramel toffee wheatiness and smooth lightly earthy Hallertau hop bitterness. A nice, full-bodied sweet wheat beer.

Dec 29, 2002 Very tangy and highly carbonated, very lemony. Nice long finish, one of the better brews from the Rowlands.

Aug 24, 2007 Not your typical wheat, more likely your grandfather or great-grandfather’s wheat. When I see the old pictures of turn of the century (not the last one, but the one I think of). breweries and the employees holding up dark brews this one fits right in. Light chestnut color with a moderate off-white head. Light sweet wheat, with hints of dry grain and brown sugar. Dark cream of wheat flavors. A touch of what seems to be black malt acidity. Interesting ur-weiss. I think the yeast stain is a little to reserved for this style, but still once again, very drinkable.
