Light corn nose. Butter flavor with the slightest twinge of hops. Very refreshing but not something to seek out.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear golden color with very little head on the sample I had. Not really much nose at all. A little grainy sweetness. The flavor is light with some pilsner malt flavor. A hint of citrus to it as well. A pretty light body with some spritzy carbonation and a little bite in the finish. A little bit dry, but doesn’t leave much on the palate.

Draught. Well, this is obviously the accessible light beer that Foothills needs to have to help pay the bills. I actually had no idea that this was a wheat ale at all until I began entering my rating. This is more robust than a macro lager, but many of the same qualities are retained. The yeast here contributes less of a corny flavor and creates more of a doughy thing. Some light woody hops are noticed in the finish. This really didn’t work for me.

Sampled at Foothills and several times at various beer festival around the state. Pours a pale golden with a small white head. Nose is grainy with some wheat and ligtht malt. Flavor is light malts with a tiny bit of hops to balance it out. Smooth, but not really tasty. But it’s on the menu for a reason and I respect that.
