Draft at the San Jose brewery. Comically large slice of lemon decorating the glass--almost cartoonish. Thought I’d get hit by a falling anvil if I took it off. Dark straw color, still beer with relatively little body even for a wheat. No wheat flavor. No flavor of any kind, I don’t think. Not vacant, exactly, but you just don’t notice this beer.

Tap. Light yellow with minimal head. A musty wheat aroma. Crisp and lager like with some wheat presence in the palate and finish. Sharp on the palate.

On tap. Pale, light cloudy body with small white head. Just a vague smell of wheat beer almost disappearing because of the slice of lemon they seem to standardize on for this beer. Is this a trick for the waiters to recognize the beer? This beer is a bit dry, almost sourish and somehow inharmonious. Maybe some kind of crossover between wheat and Czech pils.

Decent wheat beer. Not much to it but it’s refreshing and drinkable. Cloudy yellow with a white head. Wheat and citrus on the aroma. Flavor is all wheat with some sour citrus notes. Big-ass lemon they put on the glass probably helped. Somewhat refreshing but not exciting at all.

Pours hazy yellow with thin head. Aroma is crisp and has that wheat beer smell. Taste is quite dry. Pretty much your typical macro wheat beer.
