moejuck (1165), Ohio, USA Feb 6, 2007 Yeast and light citrus aroma. Hazy golden brown with plenty of yeast and sediment. Medium palate. Very yeasty flavor with some lemon zest--I haven’t really enjoyed any of the wheat series beers from Bells. detroiter (958), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA Jan 13, 2007 Pours a cloudy peach amber, topped by a quarter inch of nearly white foam. Okay head retention, good lacing. Very mild wheat in the aroma. Tangy and sweet wheat flavor with a fair amount of hops for balance. Some spice and yeast flavor in the finish. Nice representation of an American pale wheat. Medium body, solid carbonation. peter (385), Dallas, Texas, USA Jan 12, 2007 Nice little wheat beers. Light on hops, strong on spice of orange peel and a light fruityness. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Dec 24, 2006 12 oz bottle. Poured a clear golden orange color. It turned cloudy when I stirred up the sediment on the bottom of the bottle. The head was bubbly, white and reduced quickly to a lasting thin layer of foam. There was some lace on the glass at the end. Pleasant yeasty bread dough aroma with a touch of citrus. Tart up front with a strange grainy bitterness that mellowed in the middle giving way to slightly sweet bready malt. Finishes dry and grainy. So so. Dorwart (1807), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA Dec 11, 2006 Decent frothy white head with very good carbonation. Head settles slowly and remains for a while. Nice malty aroma with a little wheat and honey. Light floral hops aroma in there also. Medium golden brown in color. Light malty sweetness in the flavor. Hint of roasted grains and wheat. Really very little wheat. Quite the tasty and balanced brew. Very little grit and no grassy notes. Little bit of bready malts. I would almost consider this to be a amber ale. Finishes clean with very little dryness. A pretty darn good and easy drinking brew. illinismitty (1790), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Nov 14, 2006 Well, I am flying out tomorrow morning early, and I swore that I was not going to drink. But I am not tired, and I need a night cap...or two. Pours a translucent golden orange with a thin fizzy white head. Strong yeast and clovey aroma. Nice soft mouthfeel. Considering the age of this, I suspect this lost some residual sweetness. Flavor of toasted grain, wheat, and a hint of fruitiness. Mild spicy bitterness on the finish. Interesting beer. An american wheat with a belgian twist. I wonder what this was like fresh. Thanks to Landseer for giving this to me so I could complete the Wheat Series beervana (781), Libertyville, Illinois, USA Nov 10, 2006 (07.17.06) 12 oz brown bottle from Archer Liquors, Chicago, IL. Lot 7083. Slight sweet malt aroma. Poured clear dark golden with small white head. Slight carbonation. Light-to-medium bodied beer that starts with light malt sweetness and fruity flavors. Finished with light malt fade. No discernable hop presence. Very good drinkable wheat beer. I preferred this ale over Bell’s wheat four and six. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA Oct 21, 2006 Bottle from Jay (springslicker) Thanks! Pours out a bright orange color without much of a head on it. Smell is sweet, oranges, lemon, spices, and some malts. Taste is smooth and sweet, with a little hoppy flavors protruding out. Good beer, that went well while sitting outside on the beach. The first of the 4 wheat series that I am going to have today. Not too shabby, I think I like the wheat love better though.
