Dec 28, 2006 Bottle, at Kookfest, September 2006. To call this the best American Wheat I have ever tried is rather faint praise, since that is generally, in my experience, one of the most boring styles around. Its probably my favourite American Wheat because its not really remotely like all the others I have tried (which isn’t that many to be fair). More like an APA really. Juicy fruit and tangy, aromatic hops in equal measure. Maybe some estery notes. Nice.

Dec 27, 2006 Small head that diminishes quickly. Light, pale yellow. Fairly typical wheat, perhaps a bit grainy.

Dec 19, 2006 Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber color with a large white head, nice lacing. Aroma is floral hops, grapefruit, grains. Flavor is grapefruit, pine, wheat, malt. Palate is medium, lots of carbonation, bitter, hoppy finish. Not your ordinary wheat. Loved it but didn’t have a ton of wheat beer characteristics.

Dec 16, 2006 I’ve had this beer a number of times, but have never (obviously) reviewed it. I’ve only had it from the 22 oz bottle and once on-draft at the Three Floyds brewpub.
The beer pours a light orange and is lightly hazy. There is a pretty plentiful amount of head, but its resiliency is limited.
Aroma is sweet and slightly citrus-y, but not too impressive.
Taste is awesome! This beer is fairly light for an APA, but very lively and citrusy. It is bitter without being overpowering. You could definitely enjoy several pints of this at a sitting and not feel like a Macy’s Day parade balloon.
The mouthfeel of this beer is great. Is heavily carbonated with light, small bubbles, and is lighter than many other big-time APAs. A very good beer that is worth picking up whenever you can find it.

Dec 13, 2006 One of my favoriet summer offerings at FFF’s. Easy drinking and tasty. Refreshing and delicious. Nice hop charater and bitter hoppy finish.

Dec 12, 2006 Wow. Smells amazing from the time you pop the cap. Very crisp and fruity. Tastes just as good as it smells. Very strong fruit and hoppy flavor.

Dec 12, 2006 22oz Bomber @ Coles. Buffalo, NY. Extremely hopped up Pilsner. Not your typical wheat. Very similar to prima Pils in the hop sense. Very enjoyable & love the label & tshirts

Dec 11, 2006 650ml Bottle @ Decemberfest 2006: Love the branding here, very interesting bottle. Poured out hazy and yellow, not much head. The aroma is yeasty with lots of lemon and grapefruit. The flavour is quite hoppy, way more than anticipated, and features a very light body. The hops are chased by bread, yeast, grapefruit, and lemon. Quite pleasing, actually, and I loved the surprise bounty of hops.
