Commercial Description:
Like the digits suggest, it's a beer that's densely populated with flavor and loaded with character. We don't filter it, so none of its life and soul is stripped away. The first thing you notice is the hazy, cloudy appearance. That’s how you know it’s unfiltered. What hits you next is the spicy aroma of Cascade hops, followed by the crispy, fruity ale flavor delivered in a smooth, creamy body, the result of blending barley malt with torrified wheat. It’s not like any other Goose Island Beer, but no less that you’d expect.

all the common characteristics of a wheat beer with a great flavor - I like it with a lemon - lighter than some wheat beers

Location: 12 oz bottle from jcos, 11/12/09

Aroma: It has an aroma of citrus, wheat, spice, and honey
Appearance: Pours a hazy straw yellow color with a bubbly white head
Flavor: Taste is similar to the nose, spice, wheat, lemon, and honey
Palate: It has an unexciting mouthfeel with a light amount of body
Overall Impression: Not the most exciting beer. It isn’t bad, but it just isn’t really memorable or exciting. I really don’t have to say much more on this beer, it is what one might expect.

Light lemony haze with a cute white foam. Light honey aroma. Light honeyed malt flavours Hints of nutmeg and very little hop. Smooth and drinkable as hell.

On draft at The Happy Gnome. Pale gold in colour with a bit of haze and medium carbonation. Aromas are of flowers, peach, and a bit of wheat. Quite tart in the mouth, with notes of quince, lemon, and malted wheat. Fruity and a bit simple, but could provide some nice refreshment on a hot day.

bottle. Pours yellow and flat. Aroma of some hay, grass, wheat. Flavor is some spice, wheat, apple, understated. Thin and fizzy, not that great.

12oz bottle from VIllage Beer Merchant. Hazy yellow pour with fading white head. Aroma is nothing special to me....typical citrusy grain wheat beer aroma. Flavor is along the same lines but with a decent hoppy snap to accompany the decent sweet grain finish. If it were even hoppier, perhaps it might set itself apart.....but overall, a decent easy drinking wheat beer, especially on a hot day.
