On tap @ Third Street poured a lightly hazy gold with a small diminishing white head. Aromas of wheat yeast and light straw. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of wheat, straw and light yeast with a crisp malty finish.

served from a pitcher with something like 3 whole lemons slices up and floated on top. yeasty with cloviness and fruitiness comming through, quite refreshing

Draft at the brewpub. Light wheaty aroma. Pale gold color with white head. Medium body with mild carbonation. Starts with wheat, balanced by mild hop. Not too dry. Very nice. Bitter builds a bit in the finish. No fruit, but a little spice. Not a hefe.

Light amber with a thin white head, moderate lacing. This is very light and a bit fizzy. It has pretty good, if mild, flavour all-round and is generally well-balanced. There is a prominent wheat/grain flavour that is very much like hazelnuts, which is fairly interesting. For an American wheat, it is pretty good and certainly memorable.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear golden color. head was thin and white. Distinct wheaty aroma with light citrus accents. Tasted of honey touched, fresh cereal grain.

Clear yellow with a creamy white head. Faint wheaty/bready aroma. Crisp bready and citrus/lemon taste.
