Commercial Description:
An American Wheat ale. More than half the malt used is incredible White Wheat know for a sweetness not found in malted barley. Slightly cloudy and easy to drink, good with a lemon slice.

22 oz bomber purchased @ Southbay Drugs & Liquor. This beer poured as a straw blonde with a medium sized layer of foam for a head. It had a nice sweet grained malt aroma with a hint of lemon zest or possible coriander to the aroma. In the flavor, I find a flavorful yeast that has notes of spice and banana that is so close to a German hefe that I loved this wheat to the finish.

Cbkschubert gave me this 22oz bomber. Cracked it open when my dad was visiting he got a kick out the lable because he calls me Willy. Sweet malt with some pepper on the nose. Hazy Yellow body with white fizzy head that disapates fairly fast. Sweet tangy soapy with some bittering. Rfreshed the palate jast as it claims on the bottle. Good brew thanks Craig.

On tap at the brewery. Flavors of some bread dough and malt. Good Wheat ale.

650 ml bottle from Bev4less in Santee. This one pours a slightly cloudy yellow gold color with a small white head that soon fades to nothing. The aroma is moderate in strength with berries, hay and banana. The flavor is also moderate with strawberries, banana, almonds and some biscuit rounding out the sides. The mouthfeel is light and crisp without being thin and watery. The finish is long with more berries. Overall: a much better than average wheat ale. Recommended.

This american wheat pours with a golden body topped by a thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma and flavor are sweet and slightly malty with a fruity note and a touch of sugar(?). Light bodied, crisp and smooth.
