COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
When you brew in the wheat state, you’d better have a damn good wheat beer. This award winning American style wheat beer delivers. Our straw gold beauty is dripping with sunshine. The floral hop aroma is reminiscent of a wildflower laden prairie meadow. The bready malt character brings visions of amber waves of grain. She finishes crisp and clean, then leaves you with a broken heart.

Not alot of discernable tastes in the flavor profile or in the aroma. This is just almost pilsner like, with very little if any wheaty qualitites, other than the appearance. Some light citrus and slightly toasted cereal maltiness.

On tap at the brewpub. Comes pale gold with a small white head. Mild aroma of wheat and citrus. Taste is wheat, citrus, and some sweet malt. Decent wheat beer.

Thorpe429 (3823) - Alexandria, Virginia, USA - FEB 18, 2011
On tap at the brewpub in August 2009. Reviewed from notes. Pours a very lift straw color with minimal head and no much lacig. Nose brngs grain tannins and hints of diacetyl. Taste brings a bunch of buttered popcorn and hints of dry grain. Feel is light with a good amount of carbonation. Drinkability is quite poor. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 10-15-2010

Medium oily-looking amber-gold, smallish lasting head...grainy, lightly sour nose with hints of fruit...refreshing tart, crisp flavor profile, hints of toasty malt underneath and a touch of smokiness late...light-moderate body, tiny swirls of tart apple in nose and flavor as it warms...not bad at all

SledgeJr (3577) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - JUN 2, 2010
Sampled at the 7th Annual Parkville Microbrew Festival on April 24th, 2010. Good beer, but lost in the crowd here. The flavor has a medium wheat and grain character that is mildly sweet and biscuit-like. Very pleasant and competent. Easily a session beer and a backbone recipe for various fruit-flavored permutations.

Draft at Blind Tiger. Pours a golden body with a white head. Wheat, citrus, hay soft sweet lemonade like finish, great way to nurse a hangover.

Gregis (1256) - Shawnee, Kansas, USA - SEP 7, 2007
Our waiter told me that this was the same as Raw Wheat, only filtered. Perhaps, but this one seemed considerably more balanced than the Raw. It pours a crystal clear yellow with lots of rising bubbles and a thin white head. The nose is a muted citrus and wheat. Light to medium-bodied, slick and crisp. The flavor is a round, sweet wheat with a citrus backing. A decent quaffer, but nothing to get too excited about.

On tap at the brewpub. The body was clear gold with a white colored head. The light aroma was earthy hay with a little bit of banana. The taste was old banana with some strange artificial strawberries. There was also some nasty abc gum.

On Tap: A weak beer in smell, taste, and in mouthfeel. It was quite good, just not quite enough of it for me. No carbonation or head at all. Aromas and flavors (however little) of citrus, flowers, and sugary cereal.
