Off-white head fills the glass on the pour -- literally no liquid is visible until 1/3 of the foam had dissipated. Hazy golden liquid. Aroma is mild sweet, herbal, lemon. Taste is mild sweet, lemon, some orange, wheat. Light body, moderately tart, extremely carbonated.

Draft at the brewery. Pours cloudy yellow which is a good start, with a thick white head. Light fruit aroma but no banana esters. Full bodied with a light wheatiness to it. Refreshing.

Visited the brewery in Denver and had a great time with Bernie, one of the brewers. Nothing like a great friendly brewery! This was bright yellow and lightly malty, more like a light lager than an American wheat, but a good summer gulper.

pours a light yellow color with a thin white head. smeels of grass, wheat, and citrus. very light body with very little flavor...quite bland tasting. not much else to say...i'd rather drink water than this.

Unfortunately, I must agree with OverTheifEMT, this beer does indeed smell and appear macro-brewish. It does at least have a nice big egg white head that is retained. Aroma is straw. Flavor is quite flat and flavorless. I am concerned I have an old bottle. May try again, may not.

Looks and smells like a macro, very strange. Extremely dry and overly carbonated makes this taste like a bad champagne. Not something I'd drink again.

A little too fizzy. Poured nicely, but just middle of the road on everything. It wasn't offensive, but it seemed to be missing something. A little too watery in the mouth feel for my taste.

Very fruity, pickled peach aroma. Clipart label -- you really shouldn't try to pull 'great divide,' 'whitewater' and 'wheat' into a unified graphic element unless you did something with toast wedged into Monica Lewinsky's cleavage. Overcarbonated, a 100% fizz pour which didn't dissipate. Took 5 mins to pur 12 oz into a 32 oz glass stein. Vinegar flavor, way too much CO2, pickled peach flavor. Yeck. On the chance that I got a bad bottle, will re-rate at a later date.
