Sold only on draft at the brewery. Brewed using 65% wheat malt and 35% barley malt. This filtered wheat beer is light blonde in color, light bodied and has a wonderfully clean finish. This is a great choice for craft brew novices and beer aficionados alike.

Very light pour, well carbonated, very citrusy, Quite watery for a wheat, but not terrible, would be great on a hot day.

Bottle. Gold on the pour with big head. Carbonation is high. Aroma of citrus / hops as normal. Taste is a little thin and slightly sweet. This beer is light and refreshing, a must for any work in the garden.

Draft at Brews in the Village; nose of grainy wheat with some fruity banana notes; clear gold with a small off-white head; flavor of caramel, grain, and some light hop bitterness.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Little aroma. Lightly vegetal, olive, cucumber, wheat taste. Dry, with clean, unassertive yeast. Very drinkable, if a touch thin. Surprised that I liked this at all, as I usually can’t stand American Wheat, but this was very well done. It avoided the pitfalls of so many others or the stuff.

Clear gold with white head. Aroma of citrus, grain and hops. Flavors of wheat, citrus, and hops. Slightly sweet and quite refreshing, but not very interesting.
