Light ,bright golden in appearance, with a nice sized,yet short lived white head. Actually the aroma has a good bit of "wheatiness", grassy with some lemon-spices. The taste is however very weak, just a mere suggestion of wheat to thicken up the wateriness a bit, no bitterness, barely anything. Mouthfeel is boring and watery. Its drinkable but I would rather have a pale lager in the summer than this effort.

Bottle: Clear, pale gold with no head. Corny, grainy aroma. Thin, pseudo-sweet, sour flavors kind of like unripe vegetables. The flavor escapes the tongue quickly and in this case, I guess it isn’t bad. Ok.

Clear golden beer, very slight bubbling, head is 1 inch and lasts a few minutes. Full bodied wheat aroma. Flavor is wheat, full and creamy, maybe a little vanilla, but very creamy. Appeal borders on heavy and refreshing. A small bite on the finish.

Pours a slightly hazy dull yellow with a brief layer of white foam. Nearly no aroma - very faint wheat malt & banana. Tastes very very watery. Minimal carbonation, thin body, not creamy. Drinkable but very watered-down.

Wellllll.............. It’s ok, I guess. It’s just that the other wheat beers taste so much better. I don’t know what the purpose of this style is. Kinda like a macro on steroids or somethin. Looks like em too. Pale clear golden color. Fizzy. A tad bitter. Not that great in the mouth. Ditto finish. Just not a huge fan of this kinda beer.

Suprising wheaty malt body that - lots of sour yeast products with a heavy dose of banana and light spice. Somewhat floral with a very dry finish that was punctuated with a soapy residue. For a hot summer day: Take it or leave it - I think I’ll leave it.

(bottle): Pours a clear dark yellow body. Big foamy head, off-white and diminishing. Malty and effervescent aroma. Sweet smelling with some light fruit like apple or pear. Some maltiness present too. Light fruity taste, light body. Nutty aftertaste. Tasty and aromatic.
