williamherbert (461), Syracuse, New York, USA Nov 8, 2009 From a weizen glass...
Three massive fingers of head. Cloudy dull yellow. Lots of carbonation. Looks like a mild hefeweizen. Spiderweb of lace.
A mild wheat aroma that makes it smell halfway between a hef and a wit. More to the clove/hef side though. The smell is a little weak (partially because it has trouble breaking through the thick head), but nice enough.
An initial flavor of bubble gum, and very mild banana. The wheat really comes out. It’s a good, mild flavor. The clove and banana come out with warmth.
Nice, chewy thickness, but not heavy. Nicely elastic feel. A nice, mild and summery drink Substantial but not at all thick. arondee (173), Tucson, Arizona, USA Nov 1, 2009 Pours a golden yellow with a very small white head. Loads of carbonation and some lacing are apparent. Aroma is grass, straw, and corn. Taste is sweet corn and sour grass. Tastes like a typical american Lager with a little extra sweetness, just gross. Palidor19 (1750), Brandon, Florida, USA Oct 27, 2009 while it has some wheat qualites and a decent mouthfeel, the overall presence feels lacking in the maltness fluffy (229), Florida, USA Oct 24, 2009 a mildly cloudy pour with a dark gold color and champagne bubbles. aroma is somewhat citrusy and yeasty. flavor is bright and refreshing with lots of bready undertones. i dont know why this gets such a low score. its a lot better than most american wheats. jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Oct 21, 2009 Bottle from sampler pack. Pours a hazy golden yellow color with a two finger, dimpled white foam head that remains for awhile. Wheat, lemon, yeast and caramel malt in the aroma. Flavor is nothing special as the wheat is fairly well masked here. There is some bitterness in the finish but there isn’t much else to it. mnurda (434), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Oct 14, 2009 Part of a sample pack purchased in NYC. Most of the beers tasted the same. Nothiing stood out. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Oct 14, 2009 Another non-descript American wheat beer. Some wheat notes are present, but otherwise not much going on here. nick76 (2634), Tampa, Florida, USA Oct 4, 2009 The aroma is metallic with grassy hops, wheat, and other adjunct malts. The appearance is golden with a slight hazing and the head is foamy. The flavor is like the aroma with too much metal and adjuncts that ruin the otherwise nice wheat taste. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s approaching a good beer but not quite there.
