| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 19, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy blonde pour with a white head. Has a spicy citrus aroma. Flavor is sweet, wheaty and has a mild spicy hop finish. Not bad. dolemite77 (184), Maryville, Tennessee, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Jul 15, 2008 Pours a hazy gold... not much head. Does not look or smell like a wheat beer to me. Maybe I’m not as familiar with american wheat as I need to be. Aroma is of wet grains, and the flavor is moderately hopped watered down wheat beer. Not necessarily a bad beer, but just nothing special. Too watery with too little going on with it. maltdog (515), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Surprisingly dark for an American wheat… urine gold and murky with roused bottle yeast. The thin dishwater head leaves no lace. Mild aromas of bread, caramel, and sour fruit. Diacetyl and tonic water flavors. Dry, neutral finish with no aftertaste, but a tingling aftereffect on the tongue. Watery mouthfeel, slightly greasy. The “appropriate-to-style” blandness has been taken to an extreme… I could see adding a lime wedge to introduce some character. Sparky27 (1595), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy honey color with lots of floaters. One finger bubbly white head with spotty lacing. Nose is yeast, Belgian spices, lemon and wheat. Taste is lemon, coriander and sweet wheat with a slightly sour finish. Light to medium mouth feel. Refreshing brew. basewars (145), Albany, New York, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 26, 2008 Pours golden with unspectacular head. Smells of bread and some orange. Taste is nothing special. Some fruitiness but not a great wheat. redlight (1464), Winter Park, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Spicy sweet citrus aromas with hints of grassy aromas. Pours cloudy orange with a dense white head. Bready, yeasty, with hints of citrus and honey. Very mild flavor. chandler0201 (341), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 20, 2008 Extreme underwhelming beer. Goes down smooth, but has little to no flavor. Is this a lite beer? Sure tastes like it... Gypsy19 (628), California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 19, 2008 A watery ale with a nice golden color and minimal carbonation/head. Not much going on here. Flavor is pleasant yet minimal. This is a disappointment coming from North Coast. Quite the anticlimactic experience. Very boring and little alcohol to boot. Drinkable, but that’s about it. Apparent logo/label ripoff of Newcastle (?).
