3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Cloudy, pale gold with a medium head that lasts fairly well. Aroma of spicy yeast, bread dough, and lemon-honey cough drops. Lemon-honey and dry wheat flour in the taste, balanced nicely by the bitter herb and slight lemon twang of the hops. Palate is light-medium, fairly smooth and slightly dry. Probably the best American Wheat I have sampled, but it’s easy to outshine the crap produced in that style.

wierdly opaque with a fresh-squeezed orange juice-like color...citrus (grapefruit & tangerine) with heavy wheatiness in the aroma...wheaty yeast & citrus flavors with somewhat of a bitter finish.

Yeast cloud this deep golden hued summer refresher. Topped with a modicum of clean sharp white head, lacing acceptable. Aroma of apples, pears, and plums...backed with light yeast and wheat. Crisp. Sugary sweet across the toungue, spreading out into a cool, oily and extremely refreshing wheat. Leaves a fresh lemony smack on the palate. Clean and smooth. When it’s hot, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Bottle courtesy of adrian910ss. Pours a cloudy light orange with a ring of white head. Aroma of citrus, light fruits, wheat, orange, melon rind. Flavor of wheat, light fruits. Doesn’t taste as good as it smells, but it’s pretty good nonetheless. Good wheat beer, although a little boring.

Fruity, wheaty, not much going on though. I’ll take a Gumballhead. It also seems like this one always comes in the frosted glass.

Cloudy color. Grainy body--almost like rye. Spicy end. Light body. Good balance and overall well done. Nice.

UPDATED: JUN 15, 2005 ReRate#3 2005 version-This is the perfect session wheat beer in my book-big and citric! This years is much better than last years. Last year was plagued with diacytl problems. It was very inconsistent (had a few good ones and some really bad ones).
ReRate #2 2004 bottle. This year’s version is way better than the 03. Very zesty and sweet. More sweet than last years which was dominated by a spicy saaz hop thing.
ReRate 10/24/02-had this on tap again, but im still not shure if the tap handle was not changed-tasted more like the amber, but i wasn’t shure. This time around if it was oberon, it was steller!
good wheat, probably my fav, but still not my boat. Huge citrus aroma and light orange appearance. had this on tap the same night i had the sierra nevada summerfest and i liked the nevada better hate to say it.

cloudy gold pour with lots of white head. A very wheaty nose and a body that follows suit.
