On tap at Malone’s Urban Drinkery in Vancouver. An amber orange color with a moderate whitish head. Very bitter for a pale or wheat ale! Hops predominate heavily, with the faintest malt trace. It’s balanced, but an uneasy balance it seems.

Draught at Malone’s Urban Drinkery, Vancouver
Pale blond color, hazy. Some aroma of wheat, stale bread, cereals, pond water, but also some fresh (very light) fruitiness. Light body, with mild but not bad bread flavor; it has a very light fruity touch from the yeast (peachy), and relatively low bitterness.
Easy, but quite delicate and not bad at all.

Hazy gold. White smear. Medium body. Mild carbonation. A little citrus with the wheat for flavor. Finishes citric and bitter.

On tap at the brewery. Colour... cloudy, light gold. Nose... some faint butyl esters as well as clove. Palate... generous CO2, and very faint, clove, hay and banana.

Tap... Poured nearly clear golden/orange with no head. A pretty bellow average American wheat. Too tangy and too much of a corn chip character. Other citrus notes with yeasty flavors too. Very unbalanced.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a sweetish wheat malty aroma with some hints of citrus. Sweetish wheat malty grainy flavor with some hints of citrus. Has a fruity what malty citrus finish.

On tap at the brewery. Very bland american wheat, watery on the palate, not much crispness to it at all. Light gold in color with a thin white head. A touch citrusy in the finish, very mild on the wheat, more so then Widmers. The lemon if added would just take over the whole flavor cause there was just nothing to this.

Pint at Alameda Brewing in Portland, OR--Poured a thick dark hazy golden bronzed body with a mild white head. Why are American Hefes always served with lemons? This beer was very reminiscent of Widmer and Pyramid. Mildly lemony. Tart, grassy, wheaty and somewhat yeasty. Dull chewy body though very drinkable. Some graininess but overall blah! Move on.

Draft at the brewpub. An unclear orangey beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of lemon and wheat. The flavor is sweet wheaty combined with notes of lemon, leading to a dry wheaty and bitter finish.

Hazy golden pour, with a small white head. Fresh hay and leaves in the nose, slightly earthy, with a bit of banana fruit, and a hint of spice. Really tame with some chewy cereal grains. Pretty easy to drink.
