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.

On draught at Barleys in Overland Park, Kansas. Pours a dense gold with a white head and lace. Light-bodied with a medium mouthfeel where a very light pale ale flavor tried to peek out beyond the wheat. Surprisingly clean, with a subtle hops crispness in the aftertaste. An interesting Wheat.

A cloudy, golden yellow with just a little bit of carbonation. Head fizzled out quickly. Nice and bready and goes down smooth. Fairly decent American wheat beer.

Pours orange/yellow with a white head. It has a very faint wheat nose. The flavor was a little more noticeable but still light, wheat and bananas were picked up. It goes down smooth and overall was very drinkable.

Medium yellow, nice head. Aroma of wheat, quite bready. Rough mouthfeel from the carbonation. Flavor is a straightforward American Wheat. Perhaps the faintest hint of hops at the end, but not much going on there at all. Not bad, but not great. Glad to try it though. Thanks Secret Santa!

sampled at columbus alefest. pours hazy yellow with a small head. little to no aroma with just a hint of fruityness. wheat flavor, subtle spiceness and little hoppyness. overall, a bland wheat, but would be refreshing on a hot day.

Bottle into shaker (pounder). Pours out a hazy bannana yellow with an obviously intact trub. Head is slight and mildly creamy. Scent is very estery with a strong wheat backbone and a hint of a citrus element. Taste is very full bodied and surprisingly tart and sweet. definite wheat elements as well as hops, and a distinct fruitiness. Palate is sweet and fruity with a mild yeasty residue intermixed. Very complex flavour but not all of the elements marry perfectly... Still yet a good drink, and very drinkable as well.
