12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazed gold with a thin, soapy white head that was mostly gone after the first two sips. Mild aroma of wheat with a bit of lemon and some grassy hops. The flavor is wheat with some fairly flavorless hops bitterness at the finish. Dries out towards the finish as well.

Bottle. Pours a golden pale orange body with a white head. Wheat with notes of citrus, and lemon zest. Grainy and lightly bitter. Just not very good.

12oz bottle. Pours a very light yellow color with a small head. Faint lemon aroma. Very light-bodied with a touch of lemon zing and a mild dry hop flavor. A normal summer wheat that is not bad but there are better.

Bottle: Poured a light orangey color ale with a light foamy head with light retention and some minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet wheat malt with more character then I would expect. Taste is a nice mix between some sweet malt but also the refreshing taste of wheat. I don’t know if the aging on this one has done something to the beer that other would have noticed but I thought this had a lot more character and complexity then I would have expected from a summer wheat ale.

Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of lemon, citrus, cardboard, wheat, hops, and must. Poured light gold/pale yellow in color with a small, dense, creamy, white hed that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor was light to medium bitter. Tastes of wheat, bitter hops, grains, light malts, and light lemon. Light to medium body. Thin, watery texture. Average carbonation. Bitter cardboard finish.

From bottle. Mild beany hops, light dusty grain and a bit of wheat malt. A bit of neutral fruitiness. Pale golden clear with mild haze, topped with thin off-white head. Medium-light watery body with heavy carbonation. Starts with mild wheat malt and pilsner malt sweetness. Light teaberry and some carbonic acidity. Decent dry bitter character in the finish, though perhaps a bit oxidized overall. Medium bitter after, lightly chalky. An OK ale, but nothing too exciting.

Enjoyed on tap at the Tap and Mallet. Neutral aroma, creamy and grainy and lacey. So-so, with a mild grassy hop.
