3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours bright golden yellow, unfiltered haziness with a huge foam head. Nose is fairly mild, light citrus and yeast mostly, touch of hops. Yeasty, some wheat, some malts up front, followed by mild citrus and finally mild bitterness on finish, almost metallic in character. Very drinkable.

Not a huge fan of any wheat beers, but this was alright. Bells has never disappointed me anyway. It looked deeper orange than most wheat beers I’ve had. Flavor was pretty wheaty and citrusy and not overly offensive... Pretty solid brew.

UPDATED: SEP 2, 2009 Pours cloudy gold, decent head and lacing. Smooth flavor, slightly hoppy, definite wheat notes. Good stuff.

Enjoyed from a 12oz glass in a pub glass. Initially, I thought this was a Belgian Wit beer, and was going to rate it as such. Given the fact that it is listed as an American Wheat beer, it seems necessary to alter my feelings in terms of the aroma and flavors. In relation to a Wit beer, this beer is a terrible disappointment. In relation to an American wheat, it comapares pretty favorably.
The sample poured a relatively cloudy medium yellow color. The nose was easily the worst part of this beer. No one note was detectable. Instead, I essentially got notes of stale malt and yeast. It wasn’t exactly inviting. The palate was pretty boring as well. There were notes of malt, but it wasn’t complex in the least. Overall, I had really high hops for a beer from a brewery as revered as Bells. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the craftsmenship.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours cloudy yellowish gold with a bit of head. Light bodied. On the nose you get a bit of citrus, wheat, hint of hops and a sliver of malt. On the palate a very smooth wheat and stays on there like a good wheat should. Hints of hops, citrus and some very faint on the palate. Nice american wheat and highly recommended for newbies and vets alike. Very sessionable.

Pours a cloudy orange-golden. Lots of fluffy white cloud like head. Flavor is biscuity, full of fruity notes. Finishes clean.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Looks good in the glass; golden color with a lot of yeasty haze, billowy white head. The aroma is muted, some spicyness and yeast, biscuity. The flavor is malty with a few hints of pepper and fruit. Really a bit of a let down. I love wheat ales, and I had such hopes for this one.
