WOW!! Definitely the best Wheat beer I’ve ever had!! I tried this at the Atlantic City Beer festival. No need for any fruit as the beer stands on it own.. Has nice flavor on the front and no aftertaste.. Definitely a good session beer!! Great Job Chug!!

Bottle sampled at NFB&WF ’08 at Martha Clara Vineyards. Pours a crystal clear gold. Aroma is wheat and citrus. The flavor is wheat with some light banana. A biscuit flavor arises in the aftertaste. MIld bitterness at the finish. Better than most of the wheats (and there were plenty) that I drank at the festival.

12 oz. Clear orange-gold with a large creamy and lasting head. Aroma is resin, honey, apple cider, citrus and yeast. Flavor is apple, cracked wheat, and a light herby-citrus grass finish. Light-medium body is watery, has a slight acidic tingle and finishes dry. OK summertime refreshment that’s better than most American Wheats.

The pour wasn’t terrible, not very cloudy though for a wheat. its aroma was very fruity. Overall it wasnt that great of a wheat, esp considering the other ones we tried this night.

Come on, people! This is definitely underrated here. I know I don’t like this beer as much as my wife does, but it is a good American replica of a Kristallweizen. Anyway, now’s a good time to buy American, considering the current lack of American ingenuity contributing to such international debt.
