Light golden color with white foam. Lemon aromas and flavors, coriander and what smells like cumin. I really like the yeast. Is this a Belgian yeast? Light and refreshing. Slightly sweet. This is definitely a usable beer.

4/23/08 From draught sample bottle. Aroma is surprisingly high in fruity esters and there’s a faint spicy phenol with a strong german-like banana tone. Appearance is very clear light yellow with no head, much like a light lager. Flavor is light and bready with classic wheat sweet/sourness, and just a bit of esters shining through for complexity. Bittering from what seems to be noble hops comes through lightly in the finish Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a sharp medium carb bite. Overall, not what you’d expect from an American wheat beer, drawing on bavarian flavors you don’t normally see popping up.

Pours straw gold with a light haze to it. Soft white head caps off the body, emitting spicy citrus and wheat fumes with a light lemon quality. Palate is soft at first, but finishes crisply, the spiciness caught between the bland american wheats and the estery german varieties. This pulled a nice balance together, impressionable and refreshing, one of the better american wheats i’ve had in a while.

Nice sweet and fruity wheat beer. Wheat not to evident but like Widmer Drifter very quaffable especially when you want something sweet but light.

Pours light gold with 1-finger white head. Nose is lemon, lime, spice, white pepper, perfumy florals, peaches, and honey. Tastes limejuicy, malty, with honey, pale malt, florals, and spicy peppery notes. Palate is a tad watery, but this beer is very refreshing.
