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.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. The look is clear, golden in color, with a white colored head. The smell is wehat, light, chex mix, and a little citrus. The taste is is wheat, citrus, light, and simple.

Pretty brew, but bland! Light cloudy straw color. Good body. Some tangy flavor, but little hop bitterness.

Bomber bottle, pours a clear yellow gold with a white head, aromas of faint malt and bread, little hops on the nose, faint flavors of malt and bread, light hop bitterness at the finish, mouth feel is pretty light on the palate, a pretty simple so-so beer from Goose Island.

It poured a clear pale yellow liquid with a very small foam that left very little lacing. It had a weak smell of bread and just the slightest hint of yeast. It was smooth and very watery with just a hint of yeast. Very bad wheat beer, a big dissapointment.

Slightly hazy yellowish pour. The nose is lightly lemony and wheaty with a little bit of light berryish estery sweetness. Pretty simple brew really. Light wheaty palate with just a kiss of light crackery malt. There isn’t much to this one, but it isn’t terrible either.

Bottle. Pours pale gold with a white head. Wheaty aroma, some sweetness and some citrus. The flavor is wheaty and grainy with light citric notes. Refreshing and accessible.

A nice clean and easy to drink wheat beer for the masses, complete with separate marketing from other GI products. Not bad; nothing special.
