Commercial Description:
Unlike traditional German wheat beers produced by other breweries, Abita Wheat is a lager, not an ale, contains a generous amount of wheat and, therefore, has a clean, simple flavor. Available from June to September.

Hmm... this beer is paler than Piels and has minimal head. Smells somewhat yeasty and wheaties-like. Tastes much the same. Pretty much a bready beer with not too much taste as a whole, but it is very easy and refreshing to drink. Nothing offensive at all.

Pours pale yellow with small white head. Goes down really smooth but really offers no taste. Not bad but nothing memorable.

Bottle from Midway Mart in Denton, TX. Pours a hazy yellow with quick fading white fizzy head. Aroma is very small, but detectable citrus. Flavor has some small maltiness and citrus. Mouth feel is very light body, watery, with very high carbonation.....Overall, it’s not half bad, it isn’t as flavorfull as most wheat beers but it is very refreshing and tasty.....Not offensive in any way, I enjoyed this. Very easy drinking!

Bottle from Sun Devil in Mesa, AZ. Gold color with a creamy off-white head. Aromas of grain and citrus. Almost medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is wheat with a touch of citrus. Crisp, clean, refreshing, and it tastes good!
