Has to be the unleaded version of Gamma Ray. Cloudy and clovey. Very light. I hope this comes in sixers this summer.

12oz bottle from the Terrapin Mix pack. Pours a hazy golden yellow. Hypnotizing carbonation bubbles waivering cautiously. White foamy head. Banana aroma has a dominating presence once the bottle is open. Flavor is bready, wheat, sweet, hint of clove. Perfectly creamy body. Rich, full flavored malt character. Finishes with some lemony citrus, notes of raw honey, and the welcoming banana§clove you expect in a well made Wheat Ale. Gamma Rays MiniMe. This one could make a wheat beer fan out of anyone.

Bottle in trade as a bonus from 7ways. Thanks! Pours a hazy yellowish orange color with a medium lived white head. Smell is lemony, wheaty and yeasty with bubble gum notes. Taste is richly wheaty with a yeasty flavor to a lesser extent and a definite nice lemony tartness as well. Light spice flavor from the yeast. Rich body and nice lightly crisp carbonation. A very nice wheat ale. Fantastic beer for a hot day.

12 ounce bottle - $4.75 at Taco Mac in Kennesaw, Georgia. Best Before the 1st week in the 8th month. Appearance: Pours a well hazed, hay-hued body with a small, white head despite an enthusiastic, eager pour. Smell: Pleasantly scented union of fresh honey, citrus zest, banana pulp, and spices ground up via a mortar and pestle all wrapped up with a lightly-tangy aroma of malted wheat. Taste: Wheat malt seasoned with spices and accompanied by a fair amount of good, wholesome honey sweetness. Tiny pinch of citrus. Squished ripe bananas. The earthy spices and mild hop bitterness to a decent job at tempering the sweetness. Drying, lengthy finish with hints from all of the various flavors riding out into the aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slight, silky creaminess to the mouthfeel. Drinkability: Easy on the alcohol but plenty flavorful. Loads of summertime appeal here. I enjoyed this one and I’m fairly fussy regarding wheat-based beers.

Looks beautiful! Hazy, bright, medium yellow body with a whipped egg white head. Spicy citrus yeasty aroma. Slightly sweet, light banana flavor. Good body. I’d drink this one all summer, I hope they keep it on the shelves.

A hazy, barely translucent golden, typical for a hefeweizen. Aroma is strong, malty and wheaty with strong undertones of honey and lemon, quite appealing. Flavor is wheaty with strong lemony hints and a firm tone of honey that complements the rest of the flavors. Texture is very smooth and fairly fizzy.

Pours a cloudy lite yellow / white color with white forming head. Good crisp wheat beer taste with lite fruit taste. Very refreshing brew.
