Sep 25, 2008 Clear golden with a frothy white head. Nice aroma is tart wheat and bready yeast. Medium bodied. Decent flavor is tart wheat with a pale malt and citrusy sweetness. Another nice hot weather beer from Finns.

Jan 14, 2008 Sampler at the pub. Cloudy American Wheat appearance. Smells shows banana esters that are more at home in a hefeweizen than an American wheat. But slightly higher hop levels are appreciated. Some ale fruitiness further down. Finish has a bit of sweet roll dough to it.

Oct 10, 2007 Had this beer on 9/14/1999. Color is much darker than any wheat I’ve seen (other then wheat Bock ). Starting with a medium/light body that goes down crisp. Finish is where things go wrong, it has a slightly oak whisky taste. Its just a bad beer.

Jul 22, 2007 On tap at the Mickey Finn Brew Pub. Poured a medium golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas and tastes of wheat, grainy, and some citrus in the tastes. Thinner body.

Jun 10, 2007 Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Libertyville, Illinois. Thick white head atop a clear, medium yellow pour, this beer had a very faint nose of dishwashing detergent. Balanced, but not much discernable flavor. It did go down easy. Meh.

Oct 22, 2006 Transparent and pale golden copper in color with a quarter’s width of grey foam for the head. Saffron, vanilla and caramelized wheat lead the nose. A touch of smooth butternut squash and cloves meet a citric lemon zest in the distance. Light fairing flavor of herbal vanilla fabric sheets join with buttered and hardened croissants. Green marigolds and banana buttered danishes stroll dolefully in the background. Effervescence being moderate and the body as downright light don’t dissuade this one from being world’s better than the brewery’s other session wheat. Soapiness settles in with cotton for a clean wheat treat in its afterlife.

Very clear with no unfiltered wheat in suspension. Little to no head, with a barely identifiable scent that is reminiscent of a Miller Lite. Bright, clean taste. Slightly yeasty, but not enough to be considered a wheat. This is more like a pale lager, and I don’t like pale lagers.

Mar 2, 2006 Light-hazed amber with a ring on top, light aromas find lemons above a wheat base. The lemon comes out with Finn’s signature nuttiness in flavor with light roast, a hint of peach and a sugary punch. Solid.
