Commercial Description:
This beer is named after the Brewmaster’s father-in-law. It was formulated to make Bill’s "mainstream" pallet happy. Brewed with 50% wheat malt and lightly hopped William Jones Wheat Beer is smooth, light, crisp and refreshing. It is filtered for a clear honey colored pleasing appearance. Its carbonation level is moderately high for the "mainstream" appeal yet remains quite flavorful. Winner of the 1997 and 2006 Great American Beer Festival Gold and Silver Medals for American Wheat Beer.

Bottled, Brew 1265 according to the label. Poured hazy medium orange iwth a creamy, nicely-set cap of white head. The aroma picked up soft, toasty bread and honey malts topped by prickly wheat and orange zest.. tart and engaging.. surprisingly excellent! The flavor found honey and pale malts at the core.. peppery yeast, orange zest, and wheaty notes around.. spicy at the end. Lighter-bodied and tangy on the palate.. creamy carbonation supported the middle well.. spicy and memorable on the finish. Wow.. never saw this coming!

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold body with a one finger fizzy white head that left some sparce lacing. Fairly light aroma with a bit too much diacetyl for my tastes. Some light wet hay and murky yeast. Too much diacetyl on the flavor as well, not too much else really. Some lightly tart wheat and light yeastiness. Light bodied with a slightly sticky buttery finish and moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, this was pretty bad. A heavily flawed beer.

Bottle. Clear golden color with slight amber hue, thin broken white head. Light malt aroma with a slight floral cast and some wet grains. Taste is mild, even the wheat characters are pretty low-key. A mild brew.

12oz bottle. Orange tan with a slight haze. Well carbonated, decent accompanying head. Sweet malty tastes with some lemony wheat. Sugary malt aroma. A little bland, and not as refreshing as you might hope for in a wheat. Ok.

Hazy straw yellow with a quickly fading rocky white head. Aroma of wheat, grain and honey. Taste of lemon, wheat and light malt. Highly carbonated with a dry finish.

Pours a crystal clear golden with minimal head. Arome is sweet saspirilla (?) and a hint of wheat. Flavor is light clove, wheat and banana. Transparent mouthfeel, light sticky texture. Finishes somewhat more citric.

No, this is not as lame as the group average rating. Perhaps the lemons are following the bitter grudge miester.

12 oz bottle thanks to Jimmy. Dark pour with a cream white head. Well carbonated. Malty with lilttle hop presence. A bit chunky and skunky but a nice summer brew.
