Commercial Description:
All brews are made from malted barley, and most well known American brews use corn or rice as an adjunct. Bison Wheat is made from only malted barley and malted wheat, the hallmark of all authentic wheat brews. Wheat is very difficult to malt and our wheat is custom malted with a special process. When brewed properly, wheat brew need not be cloudy, as many are. Wheat is clear and refreshing, with a supremely smooth taste, and great hop character.

WARNING, Not one of the 12 GREATEST BREW! I have to sample all 12, as my wife got this for me and with her not liking ratebeer as it is, I want her to think she did good. The thought counts. Worse

I think i made a mistake buying so many brews from these guys.Nice golden color small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.The aroma was not great,Mildly wheaty with a slight fruit presence maybe some hops.The taste was nasty with the flavor emulating the aroma for the most part with a nasty sort of off taste coming through.Just not a good brew at all.I guess if you need a rating here it is but if your shooting for taste forget it,it’s just not there at all.Shame on ya Glueks for going where you shouldn’t.

A novel idea. "12 greatest beers of the world". But, no, let's make a batch of amber, a batch of pale, a batch of brown and bottle it and put different labels on it. OK, not quite true, but The differences between these beers, even though said to be different styles was scary. Yellow color with a white fizzy head. Acidic and bland.

Dogbrick's rating is great. This should be banned from beer section at Sams Club. It would go better with the 60lb bags of dog food because that is what it smells like. You have to love the description about wheat beer need not be cloudy. I just drank about 6 ounces of this shit and I'm startring to get a little bit of heartburn and really annoyed.

As with the rest of the beers from this sampler pack - this was terrible. Terrible macro tasting piss fizz. Really really bad.

Part of the ’12 Greatest Brews of the World’ sampler pack found at my local Wal-Mart. You just know you are getting into trouble with a claim like that. Sure enough, not only was this not the best Wheat beer in the world, I doubt it was even the best Wheat beer at Wal-Mart. Pours an ugly fizzy yellow with a thin white head. A little hops in the aroma. Flavor was mostly sour with just enough hops to keep me from dumping the whole thing. As it stands I only dumped half.

So first off we have to address the fact that the word bison is used. In the world of the dead, the word bison is God. So is this gods beer, well , thats up for the bison to decide. So as i wait for his decision, i realize that a bison can not speak and therefore i will never know if i am set free, so lets all take this leftover donation money, buy some forties , get fucked up and pretend that this shit all makes some sort of sense, or not and just buy some 7 11 chilli dogs.
