Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond color. Some wheat character, very light aroma (citrusy), very light coriander, quite bitter at the end. Nothing special.

[790-20071102] Tap @ Wild Rose (Calgary, AB). Wheatie citrus aroma has a hint of spaghetti pasta. Hazy, white yellow body with a long-lasting creamy white head. Light-medium body is a little astringent. Nice and mild enough to be repeatable.

Wheat is tart beneath light citrus (lemon) aroma. Hazy while/yellow coloured body is topped by a low white head that lasts well. Wheat and citrus continues in the flavour - both are mild and bitterness is subdued. Aimed for a mass market appeal I’d guess and probably right on for the target. Medium light body has fair to moderate carbonation. Sampled on tap at the brewery tap room.

This is essentially the perfect beer for my tastes. I’ll have to disagree with the reports here complaining that this beer lacks character. I’ve only had it from bottles, and every single one has been stunningly fresh and delicious and better than any comparable brew I’ve tasted. Possibly it’s better than the German Hefe’s and American Wheats I’ve had simply because of the freshness here; it is a local beer.

Bottled. Maltyand toffee aroma, pours with a cloudy yellow hue and a small and quickly disappearing head. Smooth and yeasty flavour with some toffee notes. Grassy.
