Commercial Description:
This seasonal favorite is a tawny gold ale, clean, crisp and refreshing, with a spicy, aromatic finish from Noble, Saaz and Hallertauer hops. It is bolder than traditional Weizen beers and hoppier than maibocks.

Seemed a bit off to me - sourish, but with a funky acidity that I didnt’ care for. Had some citrus and some wheaty malts.

Virtually flat pour. Light gold color. Light citrus nose. Light body, no carbonation, thin, watery. Faint malt and hop flavors. Medium dry finish. What a waste.

Pours a clear light amber with no head. Mild grain aroma. Thin mouthfeel. Wheat, bread, and citrus on the tongue. Watery finish. Watery and bland. Yuck!

On tap. Had a clear, golden appearance. Nose was reserved, mostly wheat and other grains. Smooth, spicy taste with little bitterness despite a hop presence. Well carbonated. Malty finish.

American Wheat is the worst style of beer. I think I actually prefer American Standard. Or even Japanese Dry. This one is well made--the malt has a tiny bit of complexity. But wheat without a good yeast is simply worthless.

Bright golden color with excellent clarity. Thin white head that clings to the glass. The palate is maltier and sweeter, than I was expecting. Another boring American wheat.
