bottled, mild malt/wheat aroma on nose with very light hops noted, poured very carbonated clear dark yellow with mild white head, light palate of malt with hints of citrus and bannana, not at all thick/heavy like some hefs, not bad at all, but nothing really stands out

Aug 19, 2008 04-Apr-08 (12-oz bottle: Purchased 18-Nov-07 for $2.39 at Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA) This beer won’t get props for looking pretty in a glass. When poured, the beer is golden-yellow in color but perfectly clear. All the yeasty sediment stayed in the bottle, but you’d think the beer would show some haziness. What’s worse, the carbonation bubbles are very large, ugly and fast-moving when they break free of the glass surface and speed upward. The whitish head pours small and fully dissipates within a minute, with not even a thin ring around the edge. Obviously, there is no lacing. In the nose, the beer smells peppery and spicy first and foremost, but it’s also quite fruity and sweet-smelling yet tart: grapes, lychee, apricots. On the palate, it’s sweet and very fruity, but doesn’t display the banana esters often found in the style. The spicy entry is tempered by a moderate breadiness in the finish, and hops seems to play no role. Medium in weight, moderately carbonated. The beer’s a bit too sweet and for better drinkability, the mouthfeel needs to display more dryness. But overall, In-Heat Wheat isn’t bad and is certainly more flavorful than the typical American wheat beer.

Aug 18, 2008 The main flavor here is manarin oranges plus plus a bit of spicy yeast. Very smooth and drinkable on a hot day.
