This could have been the glass, but this almost tasted soapy. Grainey and full of citrus. Light wheat and toasted maltiness, creep in leaving me wondering if they used any yeast at all. The only saving grace is the fruitiness, that makes this drinkable.

Pretty clean nose, which roughly translated means little to no aroma other than nothing to put me off from drinking it. Clean on the palate, but really thin, not overly watery, but just very little body. Boring.

on tap-pours a white head that laces and cloudy straw color with effervescence. Aroma is mild wheat no other give away to what taste would be. Taste is clean wheat, smooth, nice. Good effervescence.

Over hopped for an American style wheat ale. Little or no wheat flavor managed to make it past the hops to the palate.

Draught. Pours pale gold with a thin white film and some light spotty lacing. Wheat malt (grain, meal) and lemon hop aromas. Bitter fruit hop and malty wheat flavor. Light and spicy palate with lively carbonation.

Clear and medium yellow. Light body, mild carbonation, smooth. Malts were light but noticeably sweet (cereal, grains, milk). Interesting fruity notes of grape, lemon and pear. Mild bitterness; hops were a little spicy, herbal and flowery. Typical Am. Wheat (i.e., not too exciting), but the fruity notes gave it a nice touch.
