Lots of carbonation, medium head. Smells like a budweiser and is cloudy. Didn’t taste very fruity at all. Maybe a slight banana taste.

Day-old mini keg / 19 Aug 08
Light grainy aroma with hints of spicy hops
Golden, a bit hazy, white head with good retention
Bready malt flavor with spices, light spicy/citrusy hop flavor with a light bitterness
Light body, light carb (might be the day-old keg)
Very tasty and refreshing American Wheat beer. The spiciness and malty character blend nicely to make for a tasty treat

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with a noticeable but brief-lived white head. Aroma reminiscent of apples and clean laundry. Flavor begins with apples and citrus, with a pleasant warm effervescence on the tongue, fading to a grassy finish. The nutmeg and other spicy flavors notable in other examples of the genre are muted here.

12oz bottle. Orange/Brown. Aroma of yeast, wheat, lemony/orange citrus. Taste is tangy, spicy, light citrus. Extremely drinkable.

Bottle, pours a light cloudy color similar to a wit, with a light fluffy head. Reminds me of a wit without the spice and aroma. Its also a bit watery, this is not a bad wheat and its easy to drink but nothing remarkable.
