Draft at the brewpub. Clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma is pale malt and grassy/floral hops. Flavor more of the same, pretty light, but with a nice clean hop finish. Bready pale malt and a little wheat as well. Light body. Pretty unremarkable beer overall, but decent for the style.

Draft at the brewery. Clear golden with a light ring of lasting bubbles. Aroma is apples, pith and sour grass. Flavor is apple, bitter grass and light cardboard. Light body is mostly smooth and has a crisp grassy finish.

Tap at brewpub. Not bad for a very light American wheat style. Pours a clear very light gold- lighter than the pilsner, and a thin lasting white head. Aroma is nice- slight doughy cream of wheat, clean , nice bready pils and a slight floral and spicy hop character with a good light fruitiness. Flavor is light crisp, crackery, doughy, pils, and slight lemon and floral-spicy hops. Finish is clean and very crisp.

En fût. Verre de dégustation directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur de céréales avec une très légère pointe d’houblon. Apparence: La couleur est dorée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de céréales avec une pointe houblonnée. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture minérale. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’agrumes en arrière goût. (Rating #2296)

Tried this at Foothills. Golden pour with decent sized white head. Some aromas of malts, hint of honey, less so in the flavor. Very average, especially for Foothills.

Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a clear golden straw color. Aroma of toasted malts and honey. Taste is toasted malts, bitter grassy hops and a slightly sweet finish. Medium bodied.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours golded with a bit of white head. There’s a strong pils aroma with leafy hops. Crips malts and snappy hops. Refreshing.

Sampler @ Foothills: Golden hue with no head. Not particularly ideal. Crisp and malty, lightly hopped. Sort of like a what beer for people who don’t like the yeastiness of wheat beers.
