Jul 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head. Apple, light spices, banana notes, wheat and a hint of bread and bubblegum. Sweet creamy, good.

Jun 25, 2009 Bottled. Poured hazy medium golden with a lovely initial cap of white head (didn’t stick around for too long, but I’m rating 1st impression). The aroma picked up toasted, candied banana and bubblegum over soft doughy and honey character.. quite sweet, but well-presented. The flavor found honey, cereal, and sweet bananas at the core with light spices and tanginess from the wheat around.. short, quite sweet finish. Lighter-bodied, sweet, and.. well.. creamy on the palate.. lacked some expected wheat character, and John’s talk of "wheat cream ale" seems about right to me. Decent stuff.

Jun 23, 2009 Hazy pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is cereal malt with a bit of sweet fruit. Crisp wheat start, creamy doughy malt, bananas and apples. Crisp yeast and grain finish round it out nicely. Another winner from Lakefront.

Jun 20, 2009 How can you not like a beer with a cute monkey on the label? Perhaps opening it and trying it, that’s how. Perhaps I was expecting Oberon… Hazy and murky dark yellow with a thin white fast fading dissipating head. Aroma of yeast, wheat and cereal grains. Taste of wheat, bread and mild yeast with a corny aftertaste with a grainy consistency.

Jun 18, 2009 Ok, first rating. and my 100th wheat ale. To be blunt, not much competition in front of this one. Cloudy, "dirty" straw color. Smaller white head. Straight forward malt-o-meal aroma. Perhaps a bit of banana, but I just might be searching for something more. Big wheat start. A hint of toasted bread in the middle. I catch a touch of floral hops as it traverses to the finish. Hint of yeast in the finish. LInger is a bit doughy. This is like a wheat cream ale, with the grains and light yeast. A wheat ale that is slightly better than the norm in this genre.
