Commercial Description:
An American style light bodied wheat ale that is refreshingly flavorful. Crystal wheat ale was inspired by Pyramid’s first beer in 1984 the wheaten ale, which was the first year round wheat beer brewed in America since prohibition

Bottle. Pours a yellow with a little white head. Smells of wheat, citrus and malt. Taste is the same, wheat, citrus, and a hint of orange. This is definately a summer beer. Very light easy drinking beer.

Bottle: Visions of light golden effervescense, nose is light wheat, some malt, flavor is light also, some wheat, malt and yeast... an easy drinking quaffer, a decent upgrade from the macro lagers, won’t blindside a newbie.

A delicious and very refreshing wheat ale. Aroma was so so. Grass with a hint of light malt. Pour was a nice light gold with a one finger white head. Taste was a nice mix of tartness and a hint of citrus. The strong carbonation overpowers the beer in a good way and makes the beer great in hot weather.

Medium gold body with a bright white head. the aroma is light cream of wheat with hints of lemon drops. The taste is bananas with lots of clove spice in the finish. This has more character thanI was expecting. A relatively thick and sticky mouthfeel, surprising as this is a filtered wheat brew. Decent.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a slightly hazy pale golden color with a small white head. Fruity wheaty citrus aroma. Fruity malty citrus flavor with some banana hnts. Has a fruity wheaty finish.

Gold color with a medium head. Light lemon aroma. Light wheat flavor. When I say "light wheat flavor" here, I really mean: barely detectable. And really, that’s about it. It’s like Miller High Life with two sprinkles of wheat.

Pretty bland and dry. Not a whole lot to say about this one. If you don’t like flavor, then this bud’s for you.

Bottle from John’s Market in Portland, OR. Brassy gold color with a slight white head. Aroma of wheat. Hop? Doubtful. Surprising fruit - like apricot. Body is near medium; carbonation is coarse. Finish is light fruit, but some bitter lurks beneath. Refreshing and enjoyable.
