doubleo (761), San Diego, California, USA Jan 6, 2008 Ehh... Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color. Thin white head that leaves maybe a touch of lace. Not a great nose to it. Smells a little malty sweet but also a little like wet dish towel. Tastes malty sweet, somewhat straw like. Thin with ok carbonation. Ehh, its alright.
enginaaron (65), San Diego, California, USA Aug 23, 2008 Remarkably clear with low head retention, but a nice white fluffy head. Low aroma, but smells like pilsner malt. Low sweetness, with slight wheat and a small bit of pilsner malt. I.... I don’t get it. I LOVE Alpine, Pat makes some amazing brews, but I don’t get this beer. I would’ve preferred an actual wheat beer but this is just like a booring pilsner/wheat. Three cheers for clarity, though. ChainGangGuy (1536), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Aug 14, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a bubbly, white head.
Smell: It’s wheaty, lemony, maybe a bit floral.
Taste: Mixture of pale malts and soft, malted wheat. Medium sweetness. Some tart lemon. Mild bitterness. Sweet, lemony finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: One of those so-so, average at best kind of beers where, if it weren’t for these notes, would be instantly forgettable. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Aug 13, 2008 Date: 06/21/2008

yespr (6373), Copenhagen O, Denmark Aug 6, 2008 From tap at Pizza Port, San Clemente. Pours clear and yellow with a lacing white head. Mild pilsner hops and malt aroma. Mild flavour if not to say vague. Reminds me more of a german pilsner than a kristall weizen. Light wheaty touch towards the finish though. CaptainCougar (4637), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jun 20, 2008 Pours a transparent bright golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet sugary wheat and pale malts with a touch of lightly doughy yeast. Body starts with good fullness and carbonation along with a clean sweetness and subtle bittering hop character toward the finish. Incredibly drinkable and smooth without being too dull.
