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.

Pours a slightly hazy yellow golden color with a medium white head. weak aroma of wheat, lemon and doughbread. Taste is wheaty with a small lemon punch to it and a slightly sweet finish. Bland and not much of anything here.

Very light golden-yellow in color. Very light carbonation. Next to no head. Nothing to stick to the sides just a very light ring. Wheaty smell with very light hops. Citurs aroma just seems to fit a nice hot day. Tastes wheaty but watery. Not quiet what I expected. Almost like it’s missing something. The citrus and wheat satisfies but still a bit thin for my taste. Very clean and lightly carbonated which is very refreshing but still to thin. Very watery and thin. Not enough to make it a regular purchase. But this beer sure does satisfy on a hot day! Very clean and lightly carbonated which is very refreshing but still to thin. This is an easy drinking beer for a nice hot summer day. Easily drink these with your friends at a barbecue or at the beach. Good flavors, Good aromas and just light enough. You can drink these but I still think it needs more body.

Very faint wheat aroma comes from this beer. It pours a pale, cloudy yellow, with a moderate white head. Almost no flavor at all, just hints of wheat and a touch of orange. It’s not a bad beer, but there’s not much here. This may be a good gateway beer.

Hazy yellow body with massive white head. Wheat and some faint herb on the nose. Cereal grain taste with a yeast bite on the finish.

On tap in Chicago. Pours yellow hazy with little lacing on glass. Smells of mild sweet fruits (maybe citrus) but not overwhelming. Taste was mild, fruity, light hops, light on the carbonation. Easy beer for summer drinking. Not very complex, but I enjoyed it.

Poured a hazy yellow with about a finger worth of head, no retention. Aromas of sweet grass, light malt. Tasted of apricot and other fruits, maybe a little honey. Aftertaste was clean. I don’t know if they are trying to make this their signature beer, that is widely accessible for the lite beer drinking crowd, but it was nothing special and very forgettable, not very representative of the style either
