Flavor does beat the aroma. Very little wheat taste. Its a seasonal beer and this year taste better than last years. Overall not bad. Its worth the price.

On tap at brewery. Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Faint malty aroma and a watery malty taste.

Very pale gold with a slight haze. Thin white head. Scent is wheat. Taste is wheat. Really not as wheaty-grainy as expected. Actually a little crisp and light. Not much to it, but not terrible...just sort of lame.

Again another beer from this company that falls a tad short. There is some wheat and vegtable flavors. The pour looks thin, but the taste was thicker than I imagined.

Hazy gold, no head. Very bready aroma, pastry, little banana maybe, simplistic.. Crisp, clean, subdued in flavor, finish falls off immediately, not really much going on.. does not offend but does nothing to impress.

Wow this is really not a very good beet. Sulfury wheaty nose , some dust and hay. Hint of lemon. flavor similar but very light almost bland. Golden color, a bit hazy, modest lacing. Weird chemical after taste.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours clear light golden with small white head. Little lacing, light body, and little carbonation. Taste is light malt, a little metallic and hint of hops. Really boring.

12oz bottle. Clear yellow color, thin white head fading to minimal. Since it’s called "Wheat", I figured it would be a wheat ale, but after one sip this is obviously a lager. Light lemon-citrus wheat aroma. Mild zesty sweetness. Carbonation bordering on strong, but not too much so, it’s still crisp enough. Nice light body, drinkable. A higher-quality lager, but still a boring one.

comes across much like a german helles, but with a bit of discernible wheat character. the minerality and hop profile are a bit rough, and there really isn’t anything to love about this

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2011 Whoa! Definitely not what I was expecting! This one was thin, watery, bland … heck a Coors Light has more to offer than this brew! Here are the particulars… Aromas of malts, grains and zest of citrussy fruits. Flavors are very bland and ‘wheaty’/grainy but lacking in substance in my opinion. Light-bodied, very carbonated, and way too easy to quaff. Honestly blogging, there are better options in this brew style out there!!

Bottle. Pours a fairly light golden yellow with a somewhat foamy head that doesn’t hang around very long. Pretty mild aroma and flavor when compared to most wheat beers. The mouthfeel is rather thin as well. I’ll skip this one in the future.
