Commercial Description:
Although light in appearance and taste, it qualifies as a medium bodied and malty beer because of the original gravity. Our brew master uses a special Bavarian yeast only for this beer. The filtration method leaves some of the yeast suspended in the beer which enhances its characteristic flavors. It has a banana aroma and a light clove taste; hop flavor and bittering are almost unnoticable and the carbonation is higher. The finish is slightly sweet and malty with lingering flavors imparted by the yeast

Nice cloudy orange-yellow beer with solid head. Sweet yeasty aroma, but surprisingly little yeast characteristics ... very light, fruity, sweet. Not a classical HW, but still a good beer.

Arizona beer Fest 03/23/02: Now called Vegas Gold Wheat: Pours a nice slightly chill hazed gold, white head, generous lace. Nose is spicy, citrus, malts and a tad yeasty. Begins malt sweet, medium body, light to moderate carbonation, acidic, crisp, and a fair hop presence at the finish.
