12 oz. bottle on 4/22//2008. Practically clear, with only the faintest haze, and a rather spare white head. Aroma is understated citrus and light grain. Light body, lively effervescence, clean palate. Lemony flavor over some light honey, little acidity, ends in an abbreviated, dry finish. I totally agree with this being classified as a wheat ale as opposed to a hefeweizen as it is named. It simply does not have the characteristics of a hefe. A refreshing, but boring, offering.

Bottle. Pours gold with a fizzy white head. The aroma has lemon and wheat. Light malty flavor with some citrus. Not bad.

Bottled@SBWF2008. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, mild hops and some yeast. Flavour is wheat, hops and some mild saltwatery notes. Not very interesting.

Draught in Boston. Rather average wheat ale with no real highs or lows. Flavour and aroma dominated by banana esters. No real character.

Bottle SB&WF-08 - Unclear yellow colored beer with a small frothy head. Aroma is wheaty with strong notes of citrus, which also goes for the flavor. Rather thin but easy to drink. Don’t know if I like the whole concept of this type of beer. It needs more fruits or spices like the European Hefes or Wits.
