Bottle thanks to 5000. Pours a translucent gold with a white head of foam. Aroma is sweet bread with some odd vanilla. Tastes bready with just a faint grassy hop persona. Light on the palate.

I had this at Global Brew. I thought this was so so. I expected a wheatier taste but it wasn't there. I could drink this again. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Nice golden color with a med white head. I smell yeast and wheat. I taste all of the same with some hops, a little fruit and citrus. Nice Ale.....

Can. Modesto Sprouts Farmer’s Market. Gold Pour. White Head. Aroma is orange, and spicy hops. Flavor is mostly spicy hops with a little bit of lemon.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 3/7/2013. Pours hazy golden straw color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, pear, pepper, orange zest, wheat, clove, bread, floral, grass, herbal, and light banana. Very nice aromas with good strength and balance of malt and hop notes. Taste of lemon, pear, pepper, orange peel, wheat, clove, floral, grass, bread, herbal, and light banana. Lingering notes of citrus, light fruit, pepper, wheat, clove, floral, grass, herbal, and light banana on the finish for a bit. Very nice balance of citrus, malt, and spicy hop flavors; with a good amount of robustness for 5%; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a lightly creamy, smooth, and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice pale what ale! Very nice balance of citrus, malt, and hop flavors; and extremely smooth to drink with plenty of flavor. Really enjoyed this one.

Pours clear gold with a small thin whit head. Medium carbonation in this one. light grain aroma. Smooth crisp taste on the first drink. Would be nice to know which grains where used but USA Brewers seem to just focus on the hops. Not sure how an ale yeast strain can ferment well at cool termps to somehow make the beer smoother. Bland finish.

Can @ Aarhus tasting. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, wheaty and light hoppy. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and light bitter finish. 050313

Can. Clear golden with big off-white head. Aroma is malt, fruit, hop and a little citrus. Flavour is malt, fruit, hops, little citrus, little wheat, little sweet and a little watery.

Can. Nice creamy head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are wheat malt, yeast, sugar, notes of fruits and hops. Mild and easy drinkable.

Draught at Rodeo Steakhouse in Roseburg, OR. Fruity, estery, yeasty aroma. Clear bright yellow (served in a mason jar!). Light fruity initial / some yeasty punch in mid palate / tiny bitter finish. Thin-medium body. Kind of weak, uninteresting, and a bit too estery. I wouldn’t guess that this is a wheat ale.
