Jul 28, 2009 12oz bottle today at Brickskellar, one of the few beers I knew I hadn’t had. Pours yellow with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet, wheaty, and light. Taste was sweet, light and just ok.

Jul 25, 2009 Bottle. Straw color, very nice lacing. Fairly straightforward American wheat with some tanginess to it, low hops ( I didn’t notice the Cascades), light body. Refreshing. Recommended if you like the style.

Jul 19, 2009 On tap at White Horse, Parsons Green. Very pale gold, greenish tinge, thin white head. Not a huge aroma, touch of soap on the hop, but really refreshing beer. Bit dullish, little bit of lemon edge to it, more an American wheat than a wit. Not very exciting but very refreshing.

Jul 12, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden color. Not quite as sour or as fragrant as most wheat beers I’ve tried. It’s a bit more restrained. Good accompaniment to food.

Jul 11, 2009 Cask at American beer fest White Horse. Cloudy yellow ale with medium head. Citrus, wheat summer beer. Rather bland beer lacking in complexity.

Jul 7, 2009 A Mes rate: cask handpull at the Sloany Pony.
Pale yellow with a thin white film. Faint citrus and yeast, some boring malt, lots of pondwater. Bloody hell. Rank. As the commercial description says, "not like any other Goose Island beer". Most of them are decent, some superb. This however was not either.
