Poured a hazy golden/orange with a finger of head dissapates fairly quickly to a creamy froth. The nose was of lemon and lightl malt tones. The taste starts with a bright, yet surprisingly restrained hop note then gives way to a subtle wheat and pale malt backbone There’s an adunct character in the end, but finishes with light and flavorful grains with mild bittering hops. Close your eyes and this would be a good American pilsener. As a hefe-weizen, however, it is unrecognizable. This is nothing special.

Jun 19, 2006 This was probably a better beer at one time. Since it is retired, and does not cellar well, the one I had no doubt had lost something. Not to skunky point, but just not real appealing. But, you go with what you have.
Aroma was wheat, but not much more was evident. Color was the proper golden, but not hazy, and little head or lacing. Flavor okay, and finish was mild.
An okay beer at that stage, but not much else.

Dec 28, 2005 Pours a hazy golden yellow. Aromas of bread/grains/ and some floral. Had a taste of yeasty grains with some spice and clove.

Sep 15, 2005 Pretty decent head, poured into hefe glass. Crisp, not to distinct. Not much in the way of esters, too bad. Reasonable carbonation.

Sep 9, 2005 <i>(12 oz bottle: Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, CA)</i> Perhaps one of the least flavorful wheat beers ever made, this one is a bit unusual because it seems less sweet than most. Otherwise, it has a weak wheat flavor, some mild cardboard, and very little hops, and frankly, the cardboard seems to be the dominant flavor. Cardboard and a touch of wheat in the nose. Light bodied, watery and pretty gentle carbonation, so this beer just kind of comes and goes without even saying goodbye. Then again, that’s probably a good thing since the flavor isn’t all that pleasant to begin with. The light golden and hazy body is capped by a small white head that quickly fades to a small ring. A very forgettable beer, but hopefully I’ll remember to not buy this again.
