3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Cloudy golden with white head. Flavour is wheat, malt, fruit and citrus.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a hazy golden with an average foamy white sustaining head. Aroma of citrus (lemon mostly), wheat, grains, malts, banana and spices. Flavors of the same. This one was smooth and refreshing with a light hop and yeast presence and a lingering sweetness.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle pours a hazy pale yellow, with a large rocky white head, light carbonation, and with attractive lacing. Wheat malts and lemon zest on the nose, as well as what I like to refer to as 'dog farts' or 'pond water', typical in many American Wheat beers. There is also a spicyness to this that I cannot pinpoint. Up front it is rather wheaty, slightly citrusy, and again with that odd spice. That spice isn't far off from perfumed hairspray. While not bad, it doesn't really add to this beer. Finishes with a somewhat medicinal flavor. Body & mouthfeel seem alright, but the aroma and strange flavor throw me off. Thanks goes out to MarkR for the trade!
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Cloudy dark yellow with a gentle head. At first the aroma is all yeast but given time banana and bread notes appear. Dusty texture and muddy flavour. Belgian alcohol finish. Not a refreshing wheat.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had this at the DC/MD/VA/WV/PA gathering. Bottle courtesy of ??. Clouded amber with a small white head. Nose is watery wheat, some lemon, and yeast. Very grainy. Taste is wheaty and grainy with light citrus and a noticeable yeast note. Body is medium and it finishes with light sweetness, some citrus notes and more wheat and yeast. Seemed average to me.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUL 18, 2008 Rerate Still a solid wheat - just not as flavorful as the first time I had it - not as fruit oriented - more yeast. Original 3.7 Had in the bottle at the Chocolate Moose in Ely, Minnesota. Has a faint, citrusy, sprucey aroma. Dark orange, murky appearance - looks kind of like Tang. Creamy, white head, thick lacing, delectable peach flavor, with some hints of lemon. Mouthfeel is kind of zesty and overall a smooth, full-bodied. Very surprised to see this classified as a an American Wheat - seems more like an APA.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(draught at Ale Emporium) cloudy pale yellow pour with a spare cream head. Nose of oranges, wheat, other citrus and crisp fruity hops. Taste is spicy, oranges, citrus oils, wheat and lightly earthy. Refreshing body that is creamy and light.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
(Bottle) Sampled at the RBSG 2005 in Montreal. Pours a thin, clouded, golden body with a thin, white, lightly-carbonation fed head. Nose of orange juice, milk and morning after campfire wood on a rainy night. Mardly halty, harely boppy. What is this boring lactic grain beer? Its like cream of wheat with less flavour.
