Very pale yellow in color with a slightly hazy factor. Citric and light with a lemon twist. Silky consistency. Pretty good.

I love blind tiger, both of them. Pours a hazy opaque golden bronze body with a white head. Wheat, grain husk, light lemon peel i think the lemon actually dripped into my ale (i love lemon). Light husky wheat finish. Nice.

On tap at the brewpub in Topeka in mid-August 2009. A: Typical of the style. This was a fairly hazy yellow-grain color with minimal white head and some lacing as the beer went down. Much cloudier than the filtered version we tried as well. S: Obvious wheat malt that was fairly clean, although there was a bit of chemical-type sweetness, although diacetyl was fairly minimal in this brew compared with many of the other lighter beers we had here. T: This one had minimal amounts of the buttery diacetyl taste, while many of the others we sampled had quite a bit. That flavor was a bit underneath, as the predominant flavor was a slightly-sweetened raw wheat flavor, which was actually fairly refreshing. M: Light and crisp with a moderate amount of carbonation. No alcohol presence. D: Pretty drinkable, as the style often is. However, the flavor profile was fairly bland compared to top examples of the style, and trace amounts of diacetyl kept this one from being all that drinkable.

On tap GABF 02: Light flowery aroma, watery mouthfeel, murky yellow color, tastes very light. Gold medal my ass.

This is definitely raw, murky and unfiltered in the delivery. Flavor is very light, almost too light, but the flavor is quite satisfying, with some nice lemony acidity.

Tap - average size foamy head, hazy medium straw color, sweet wheat aroma and flavor

Lightly hazy pale yellow color, almost the color of a witbier. Served with a lemon wedge at the brewpub. Light citrusy character, very light body, moderate wheaty character. Clean. Easily the best of their 3 wheats that were on.

On tap at the brewpub. The cloudy body was pale yellow with a white head. The aroma was light lemons and mild apples. The taste was wheat bread with some old pears. There was also a hint of bubblegum. An ok wheat.
