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.

Had on tap. Pours light golden with white head. Aroma is wheat and some light spices. Flavor is light and bland with hints of wheat, spices and a touch of light fruit. Good beer for a nice hot day and that is about it.

Pours a light hazy gold. The aroma is wheat and maybe some spicy citrus. The taste is American wheat and really not much more.

Draught. A kind of light American wheat. Not much hefeweizen character. Refreshing, but boring.

Pours a moderately hazy-yellow with minimal head. Wheat and spices are weak. Not even close to Oberon or Whitsun. A disappointment from an otherwise fine brewery.

Little aroma with decent color, this American Wheat is a good ’gateway’ beer, owing to the popularity of Goose Island in the US. Not a bad interpretation of the style...the only problem is, this style is just lacking compared to the German and Belgian Wheats it’s derived from.

Pours gold with white head. Doesn’t taste as ";wheatish"; as I anticipated. Decent beer, sort of like a pilsner to me.
