Pour a very clear golden, no head, slightly effervescent. Aroma of perfumed hand soap and wheat toast. Kind of flabby wheat taste with a light apple juice notes. Mouthfeel is thin and carbonation is little flat. Finish is bland. Would be better with a dryer finish and better carbonation.

The aroma is metallic and citrus like with some wheat but a bit of an adjunct quality to it. The appearance is pale gold with a nice foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with a clean finish but it also has a touch of bread and soap. The palate is thin but right for the style. Overall a decent beer but a tad off.

On Draft at the Brewery. Pours clear yellow. Aroma is very light. Taste is lemon peel and tart, freshness.

Strong aroma that was sort of citrus/fruity. Quickly dissipating head. Lovely golden color with a crisp clean taste that has an odd sharpness with noticeable carbonation. Finishes clean and light. A great brew for those summer days!

A nice crisp kristallweizen if not a little bland. Aroma was slightly below average. Slight lemon with a husky graininess to it. Has a floral/perfumey aspect that carries through to the flavor. Pour was just as the style suggests. LIght gold, filtered to no end with complete clarity and a nice half finger white head sitting on top. Taste was a little weak. The strong and biting carbonation burns the top of the mouth with lemon and perfume just making an appearance in the aftertaste. Great for the summer.

WHAT? Amazingly odd aromas. I can’t quite tell if I love them or if it reminds me of a hospital toilet. Very confusing but somehow it pulls it off.

Draft at the brewery tour. Poured a clear gold color. The head was white and fizzy. The aroma included hints of wheat and lemon. Light bodied with carbonation on the higher end of the spectrum. I tasted distinct lemon accented by a bit of orange. There was also a light grainy note. Nothing overtly offensive...perhaps a bit dish soapy with the lemon. Easy drinker.
