Pours very cloudy banana yellow with a thick foamy white head and high carbonation. Aroma is very light of wheat and some very faint banana scent. Flavor is bland, kinda grainy flavor with some sweet wheat flavor. Mouth feel is decent for the style, carbonation provides a nice tingle when drinking. Overall an okay beer but would much rather have some of their other offerings to this one.

Citrus scent that is quite pleasing, light golden color with a foamy white head, flavor is smoother and more full than anticipated and quite sweet, finishes light, overall a good hot weather brew

Cloudy yellow with a small white head. Weak bread crust aroma. Thin and sweet grainy malt flavour. Amazingly boring beer...

Yeah, wheat ales are just boring, aight? It looks like hazy pee...so maybe a gonorrhea piss? Sourness is the only thing I can really place here, and some wheat of course.

Aroma: Faint, sour in an unpleasant way. Appearance: Hazy blond pour, voluminous white head, abundant lace. Flavor: Intensely wheaty, dusty, tart. The acidity is more sour milk than lemon. The beer isn’t altogether unpleasant, but there’s an edge in it that evokes eating wheaties after the milk has turned. Palate: Lively carbonation, dusty, dry, puckering.

Hazy yellow color with a foamy but thin white head and decent carbonation. Grainy aroma with a smooth taste that is slightly pale and has a hint of zest. Crisp and flavorful, this is a nice wheat ale.

Cloudy yellow with a noisy white soapy head that lasts a very short time. Nose is yeast with some faint lemon. Nice zest in the mouth although it is thin. Somewhat tart taste with wheat, lemon and some honey. Very crisp and acidic.

Bottle. Pours a murky golden straw with a thin white head. Cereal malt aroma with some tart citric notes. Bland basic flavor with a tart finish. Lacks any richness or real wheat or yeast character Thin with some carbo tingle on the tongue. Dissapointing.
