Pours a transparent bright golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale wheat and doughy yeast and light fruity esters. Body start lightly sweet and citric with a thin, fizzy carbonation before a drier, citric finish. An ok American wheat.

Bomber courtesy of stfun. Pours a hazy gold with a white head. Smells of sweet citrus, szome dry malt. Taste is overly sweet and cloying with a lot of lemon and what reminded me of candied fruit. I’ve had better.

Bottle: This looks okay, a golden yellow body with a decently sized head, but it smell like a freshly opened box of Wheaties with some lemon juice squirted in. You can taste the wheat and a little sweet malt, but the lemony flavor increases and gathers at the back of the throat. Rather uninspired rendition of a style that doesn’t thrill me too much to begin with.

Draft sampler at MBC. Clear amber hue with a moderate white head that diminished slowly. Moderate wheat aroma. Light to medium body. Medium sweet wheat flavor with a short finish.

A filtered wheat, clear medium yellow, thin white head, some lacing, thin-bodied. Lightly yeasty smell, hint of a strange smokeyness and cardboard. Tastes similiar to a standard pale ale but with a little more hint of spice. Fizzy mouthfeel. Finishes dry with that cardboard characteristics appearing again. Not recommended.

Almost clear golden pour with little appreciable head. Aroma picked up some bananas, wet hay, and other barnyard elements... not too inviting. Citrus hops first hit the palate, followed by a weird sour citrusy burst toward the back and on the finish. Thin mouthfeel. I’d recommend passing this one up.

This bottled brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of finely sized white colored bubbles that was long lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated orange brown colored body and a good lacing. The mild aroma was wheat and dough. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of tingly wheat and mild malt. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again. This one goes down easily! Very drinkble.
