Commercial Description:
The lightest beer we brew, but still packed with all the good qualities of ale. It is golden in colour and lightly hopped with a variety of German aromatic hops. Red Fife is a strain of wheat developed in the Peterborough area by David Fife, and was used nation wide a century ago.

Nothing wild in this one, easy drinking but least favorite of the ones i tried. golden color, some white foam, nose had a little hops to it. Flavor is very muted, kinda bland some hops a little wheat sort of but drinkable.

On tap at the Olde Stone Brewpub. Pale golden pour with a touch of coppery hue. Held a small bit of bitterness. It’s a fairly easy drink to take down, and after my half-pint was done, I was glad to move on to my favourite Belgians.

4oz sample from brewpub. Golden pour with a sparse white head. Aroma is very toned down, and for a wheat ale there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of wheat going on.

On tap. Easily the worst beer sampled at the brewpub, this was nothing more than a generic lager with some mild grain like sweetness thrown in. Medium yellow, little head, very little aroma, and very little taste. I wrote notes and I still find it forgettable.

Verre de 12 oz dégusté chez Hot Belly Mama’s (Peterborough, ONT). Arôme: Légère odeur d’agrumes. Apparence: La couleur est blonde orangée avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un moyen col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de céréale. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est mince avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de céréale en arrière goût. (Rating #677)

On tap. Lighter golden color with a whispy white head. Very light aroma, light fruit, maybe some banana. Flavor is hardly representative of a wheat beer, light sweetness. Thinner palate. Boring

Draught. Clear golden with a small white ring of head. Completely non-descript aroma - faint banana, peaches, and bread. Strange flavour that is only slightly fruity and only slightly resembling a wheat. A bit of appley tartness and sour bread. Lengthy finish with tartness.
