Draft. Wonderful pour of pale wheat appearance. Frothy white head with considerable lacing. Taste is smooth and slightly hoppy. Really a terrific attempt at the American Wheat beer. They got it right on this batch.

Tasted on 4/20/12 on draft at Blackstone. Pours cloudy orange with a thick and fluffy white head that slowly recedes to rocky lace. The nose is classic wheat with some banana and cereal malt, and a bright, green herbal hops kick. The flavor is a bit more muddled, with some wheat cereal and the hops much lighter, but providing a bit of bitterness. The body is medium with average carbonation, a medium wheat malt and lightly bitter finish.

Draft at Brewpub. Apparantly brewed with 50% pale malts and 50% wheat malt...according to the bartender. Pours golden with a wisp of a head. Light bodied with faint flavors of wheat malt and herbal hops. A clean beer, but very unexciting as a session beer. This would be fine as a compliment to food, but by itself as I had it.....yawn. It would make a great lawnmower beer, but growlers are sort of hard to drink while pushing one. Oh well. I am pissed that I missed the Maibock!
