Thanks Dieter, like it matters, you will never read this you sack of lard.
Ahhh metamusil or very thick chicken broth beer and no cap at all - why is that? The aroma is overly sour for this style, lemon, clove and some other dull spice, ok but not where I wanted this to be. The taste was ok with bitterness happening early on, dull cherry and dull yeast. Totally drinkable though. Full and thick for mouth feel - probably too thick. Glad this was bought with money that was not mine.

Thanks to Skyview! Clear, dark gold color with a quickly vanishing thin head. Slightly dry grain aroma. Interesting flavor. Some wheat, grain and dry earthiness, but an oddly smoky overtone. Not too strong, but enough to be noticeable. I would say this is much more an American Wheat than a Hefeweizen.

Tap @ The Silver Dollar in Cody, WY. Light, cloudy blonde pour with a huge white head. Nose is grassey, light wheat, and some faint maltiness. Tastes more wheaty and malty with a very light amount of florals. Light lemon is present, but it does feel a bit thin and watery.

Bottle. Pours cloudy gold with a scant white head that produces a few dots of lace. Initial aroma was kind of dusty, but after it sits a bit, some sweet banana comes out. Oranges and wheat in the taste. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Grassy finish. Seems to be sort of straddling the fence between German Hefeweizen and American Wheat.

~Pours a cloudy golden color with small white head. ~Sour wheaty scent. ~ Wheaty flavor with hints of sourness. ~Dry crisp feel. ~It’s ok. Easy to drink and enjoyable. Just not much to it. Could do without the sourness.

Draft. Really hazy body with orange color. Bready yeast, hay, and, naturally, wheat on the nose. Quite sweet taste is noticeable as different from the hefe style. Nothing that stands out about the flavor or aroma though. Just not offensive. Also, it was a bit boozy, which I found odd for the hefe style. Finishes dry with a thin body feel to it. As I’ve said in several ratings, there was nothing wrong or alarming with it, which ultimately just makes it unworthy of remembrance.

Bottle from Kyzr. Hazy yellow orange with some light brownish hues and no head. Aroma is of lemon and wheat. Flavor is also light wheat with a nice lemon citrus finish. It’s an american wheat beer, so its not too complex, but its enjoyable. Light to medium body with a mildly crisp mouthfeel and moderate carbonation.

Bottle: Straw in color, somewhat dirty and cloudy, thin sudsy white head, sparce lacing.   Funky bready nose, some wheat malts but minor.   Perhaps its also a bit mealy.   Moreso wheaty on the tongue than on the nose, thankfully.   Pale, not very estery, or should I say little to no spiciness.   Plain overall.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Minor sweetness on the exit, but just doesn’t have the body of a Wheat beer.   Overal okay, but just too plain and uninteresting.
