Sham (1846) - Seattle, Washington, USA - MAR 10, 2005
Light brown with a creamy head and stringy lacing. Wheat aromas with some sourish notes. Sourdough maybe. Citrus and some spice. The flavor consists of wheat, bitter hops, and lemons. Not much else. Medium body with a bitter finish.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - MAR 9, 2005
Sampled draught at Wet Dog Cafe/Pacific Rim, Astoria
Dark amber color with light head/lacing. Nose of clove & banana, esters abound, lots of wheat. The flavor is sweet, a little malty with hops, not too bad but an interesting color for a wheat, very similar to the amber.

3fourths (6385) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - AUG 10, 2004
Semi-cloudy orange, slightly sweet nose of bread and burnt orange, not very powerful. Nothing exciting... some burnt nuts and bread, not appealing.

Astoria (Wet Dog Cafe) on tap: I think the chalkboard called it "Willapa Wheat." Golden-orange and hazy with a soapy head. Very crisp and carbonated. Light malts without much sweetness. Very spicy (Saaz I suspect) and bitter. Bitterness lingered a little too long, by the way. Slightly unbalanced ... needed more of a malt backbone and a little more sweetness to complement the hop influence.
