tasted at brewery. a good wheat. pours a cloudy yellow with frothy head. lighter and crisp, good and wheaty.

on tap-pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is clean, wheat. Taste is clean, wheat, citrus and slightly tart, no banana or clove.

Draught at Stoney’s. Pours a medium gold with a firm white head. The aroma is of crisp wheat and smooth caramel. The flavor hints at apples, faint fresh wheat, vague corn, a touch of honey. It’s refreshing and crisp with no real off-flavors. American wheats just aren’t the most satisfying brews to me.
