Draught at the brewpub
Hazy blond color, with creamy head; unfortunately served with a lemon wedge. No aroma; dry mouthfeel, almost with no flavor, and a trace of wheat; ordinary bitterness. Poor.

GCBF 2010. Pale lemony yellow. Low wheaty aroma, watery wheaty flavour. Limp, lacking character. Meh.

@GCBF-on tap-pours a white head that laces and yellow color. Aroma is barnyard wheat, some light hops. Taste is barnyard wheat, some light hops-lemon/slightly flat, some honey.

(Draught) Sampled at the Great Canadian Beer Festival 2007 in Victoria on September 8th, 2007. Near clear with a lightly carbonated and white head. Nose of pure butter and tonic water. Needs popcorn. Yuck!

Tangy, but restrained as was the phenolic presence. At least the food is always good at the Barley Mill.

GCBF. So many breweries make this stuff. At least it came out a bit cloudy, stress on the bit. Not much in the aroma to differentiate this from any popular lager...no citrusy or zippy smells. Taste followed suit. Except that this beer has wheat in it, I would not characterize it as a wheat beer. Hazy lager might be closer. Colour was dark straw. Taste was bland....can’t even call this a crystal weizen. Sorry guys, it was a dumper.

Served with lemon. Golden colour. Light character. Slightly malty. Clean. Would be dominated by the lemon if you left it in place.

Aroma was lightly wheat but no real orange or citrus that most wheat beers have. No real head and the colour was more akin to Bud then a Hoe. Flavour was refreshing but not overly wheat and finish was rather bland and thin.
