Pours a transparent pale golden with a thin, spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of grainy adjuncts, sauerkraut and tart infectious bacteria. Starts thin, watery, sour and a pretty much drainpour. Tastes like everything else I’ve had from them.

Actually one of the best brews of the night even though I was rushed out of the bar at 11:00 (slow night). Light hazy straw color with a wispy white head. Light cotton candy aromas. Mild wheat and light citrus flavors. Now I see the description as a cream ale. Seemed more like a a wit. This place really has to decide on its style and how they are going to brew.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from the brewpub. Pours a very light blonde pale brew with no head. Only a few bubbles on edge of glass. Aroma of multi-grain, steamed rice, with some flowery hops. Taste is highly carbonated, watered down orange peel, some corn flake character and light sweet flowery finish. Palate is too clean and very watered down.

Yellow color with a thin head. A little wheat for the aroma. The taste is a passable rendition of a wheat with some citrus as well. Disturbingly enough, not a bad little beer. Oh... it’s a cream ale? Um, no... but it’s drinkable.

Light golden color. Starts sour and gets a little bit sweet. Rice has no place in my beer.

Appearance: Pours a thin, clear yellow body with a small white head. Smell: Lactic, soured wheat aroma. Ugh, everything’s all messed up! Taste: Good grief. Extremely lactic taste overall, a hint of adjuncts here and there, but it’s simply unfinishable. Lord knows I tried! Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Mild carbonation. Drinkability: "White weasel" has since become sort of a colloquial saying around these parts.

Hazy Yellow Coloring with White Ring. Faint Wheat Aroma. Wheat, Lemon Notes on the Tongue...Faint Hops as Well. Very Drinkable. Agreeably Not a Cream as Much as an American Wheat Style Brew. Actually one of Their Tastier / Non-Offending Brews, if Not the Best So Far.
