Nov 18, 2007 On tap at the 2007 GTMW: Pours a bright transparent orange amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Real fresh sweet dark wheat and lots of piny resiny hops in the nose. Body starts fairly full and toasty malty but not overly sweet with a great balance of crisp, fresh hops. Very smooth, drinkable and flavorful, a great American wheat ale!

Jul 25, 2007 Had I not known ahead of time that this was a wheat ale, I never would’ve made the guess. Filling my mug club tapping mug was an unfiltered reddish amber brew topped with a tall, sustained off-white head that left plenty of lacing in its wake. The aroma is rife with a citrusy fruitiness - grapefruit, zest of lemon, tart tangerines - and nearly buries the soft malty sweetness beneath it. The flavor is more balanced (darn it!), the smooth malts supporting the hoppy bitterness that still manages to leave an enduring, bitter finish. Nothing quite beats a fresh I.P.A. American Wheat Ale! Nice job, Andrew & Matt! <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=292> Flossmoor Station, Flossmoor, IL<font size=-1>

Aug 13, 2007 GTMW 2007. Poured a clear orange-red color. with an off white head. Attractive aroma of toffee, malty caramel, and assertive grapefruity/sprucy hops. Dry and bitter with citrusy hops balanced well with malty caramel. Great beer.
