This is truly one of my favorites. I live close to the place and nothing, I mean nothing beats this beer on a warm June night at the outdoor beer garden before a Myrtle Beach Pelicans game. This beer has a beautiful cloudy appearance and tremendous aroma of wheat, spices and fruitiness. The mouthfeel though is my favorite quality about this beer. It fills your mouth without filling your gut. Awesome!!!

At myrtle beach. Cloudy orangish hefe look. Has a mild hefe aroma. Good carbonation. Friendly brew, is fun. No detectable bitterness and I like that. Nice overall brew, I dig a good non-bitter hefe. Easy finsih. Didi not put lemon in mine. Good overall experience, glad I got to try it.

Tap. Apple, banana and wheat aroma. Light cloudy orange-yellow color with small head. Lemon wheat flavor with hints of clove and banana. A beer between the typical American Wheat and a Hefe. A nice beer.

Had this a few years back. Cloudy gold pour with aromas of hopcit, yeast, cloves. Tastes citrusy, clovey, with a hefeish finish.

Growler, about 5 days old, from the brewpub (SC). Neat hazy dark yellow, medium thin white head - certainly looks unfiltered. Grainy aroma, hint of yeast. Taste - ok - foamy mouthfeel is pleasant but the taste is pretty bland - grainy and a bit pof yeasty - pretty weak. Mouthfeel makes it refreshing, but that is about all here.

This light ale has a great taste when served with a lemon wedge. A hazy yellow appearance with a nice head. I enjoyed this wheat and will have it again for sure.

Draft @ the brew pub: Hazy gold w/ very little white head, but laces well. I blame the lack of head on the glasses. Wheat malt aroma, no hops w/ a little fruitiness, hints of grainy malt, but nothing much else. Well balanced w/ a bit of a tart, dry finish. Grainy malt aftertaste, pretty clean, no fruitiness in the flavor. Moderate carbonation, but prickly, lighter body but not watery...Actually the carbonation is a bit biting. Very enjoyable summer time beer, one dimensional, but refreshing to beat the summer heat in Myrtle Beach

This was on tap, brewed as "Deep River Wheat" (same beer, different name) at Liberty. Cloudy, straw pour, with nice retention and soapy lace. Nice straw-grain and wheat notes in the nose... the bouquet gets better as it opens up. Unfortunately, the best part of the brew has passed. Wheat flavors are interrupted by overhopping, and a "cut" of pale biscuity malt. Citrus notes get lost easily, as well as any depth or complexity. The dry bitter back accompanies a crisp mouthfeel. The bitters are just too detracting for the style... May be "based" on a German hefe, but is definitely an American take on it. Just underwhelming.
