| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 16, 2004 clean and crisp taste. When it comes to wheat beer, I still like most of the german beers better however like all of Capital Brewery’s offerings, this is smooth and easy to drink. burcusabrews (106), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 8, 2004 Nice wheat beer. Very big on the banana and clove esters. On tap at the Capital brewery tap room. A beer that wheat beer drinkers would love. I am not a huge fan of wheat beers, but will rate according to style. jde123 (715), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 18, 2004 Pours lively, lots of swirling bubbles in an opaque, pallid yellow. Aroma of lemons, fresh and vibrant with pronounced hops. Distinct hoppy flavor with a pinch of vanilla for good measure, very nice! Somewhat bitter finish, closes nicely. Overall a good experience, sticks with the bavarian brewing tradition but adds a typically Capital touch. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA

Color: bright yellow, hazy way up at the top, clear the rest of the way down. Small, quickly diminishing white head.
Lemony nose, sweet,n,sour, bold citrus hops.
Hops continue with a pronounced impact upon the palate, smooth, tasty, thirst-quenching. Close to the Bavarian style, but not quite.
Malt is felt more in the flavor than I’d expect...on the sweet side...light body, nice texture, good taste, and downable, indeed.
A good hefe, will do in a pinch...

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 3, 2004 Really lacks head that detracts a lot from the wheat experience. Straw yellow, very slightly cloudy, nice spicy and citrus (grapefruit) aroma. Taste is true wheat, clove and slight banana. Some bitterness makes this a little off style but very drinkable - like all of Capital’s breers. Mangino (1027), Mississippi, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 14, 2004 Pours a hazy golden yellow. small white head. Aroma is cloves and spices. Flavor is malt and banana, with a hint of vanilla Very traditional hefeweizen taste. Very balanced refreshing beer. Defintely reccomended for summertime drinking!
