In Chicago a couple years ago. Pretty standard, unimpressive wheat. Retired at a a chain? Not a good sign.

Run of the mill wheat from a sub medicore brewpub. Only reason to go here is the roof top deck.

Pours a hazy golden body with a light, bubbly head. The aroma is grainy with smatterings of citric fruits, orange with a twist of lime. It’s got a grainy flavor, sweet and tart, but with the fruits dropping into the background. The finish is a light hop bitterness and a tart twist of the citric.

Draught: Hazed orange-pineapple below a thin ivory cream. Fruity, yeasty aroma with a hint of grain and more noticeable notes of sour malt, wheat and bananas. Light, but not quite thin palate that has a slight creaminess through the finish. Flavours are mild, un-offensive and total unremarkable with a strong flour and malt presence with far-off hops noticeable as an after-thought. Not for me, but I imagine it is a decent seller…

Hazy, opaque, golden body with a thin, off-white head. A subtle, slightly fruity aroma with light banana, sweet oranges, yeasty esters, wheat bread and a touch of subtle spice at the end. The body is fairly light, but refreshing. The flavors are pretty good, but certainly not outstanding. Slightly sweet and fruity, yeasty and just a kick of tartness at the end. The citrus element is nice and the hops are rather subtle. Not bad, but not something I want to drink often.

Pours hazy yellow with small head. This is your typical mild wheat beer. I really don’t have much to say hear, theres just nothing to talk about.

Downtown Chicago. Seemed okay to me. The one I got was very cloudy, with a thin, lacy head. A light flavor with more wheatiness than I'd expect. Just a hint of clove of other spice, not over hopped, and with a citrsy note (that for having it without the lemon).
