Not bad. Rather smooth. It had some nice orange and lemon flavors. A medium-ish finish. Clean and crisp. Yellow/straw color. Decent head. Bright, crisp lemon and grass nose. I just got the front porch of the apartment set up, so this would be a good beer to grab a sixer, sit down with a book or some friends, crack some open and enjoy the nice Chicago summer.

A very easy drinking American wheat. Mild flavor, sweet overtones, bright color and dry finish. A good summer beer.

Dirty golden pour with white head. Nose of wheat, banana and some spices. Flavor is spicy wheat with biscuity grains...cloves near the end.

On tap at Uni Wisconsin’s Rathskeller. Pours a hazy light orange with a modest white head that dissipates quickly. Okay lacing. Aromas of citrus, wheat, slight pepper. Taste is very light and acidic with a strong astringent element. Not offensive but not smooth.

Slightly cloudy gold body with a white head that results in some nice lacing. The aroma is a bit light, but I can sense wheat, banana, and a touch of spiciness. Good amount of carbonation on the palate. Sweet, smooth, and just a bit spicy. Wheat and grain up front and a hint of cloves at the end. Finishes very smooth. A pretty good wheat beer, just not very exciting.

Poured from the bottle. Pour produced a golden body, topped by a medium white head of foam, which mostly diminished. Initial flavor is bitter, aroma lacks come of the citrus or banana notes that I have come to expect, leaning more towards the grain. Its alright, but fell short of my expectations.

Bottlee. Typical Americna wheat beer. In my mind they dumb it down too much. Very little yeast elements, no clover or bubblegum or banana. Easy drinking but essentially flavorless and pretty thin.

12 oz bottle purcashed at Zipps in Mineeapolis, Minnesota. Pour is slightly hazed golden yellow with a smallish white head. Aroma of fresh wheat, cloves and some soft spiciness. Nice fresh and natural nose. Taste is the wheat, grainy with some hay notes. Also a nice floral lemon taste. Cloves are faint, and towards the lingering finish. Palate is medium, slick, with a long sort of waxy finish. Decent amount of carbonation. Nice refreshing beer.
