Strykzone (1019), Wood River, Illinois, USA May 2, 2008 Golden and unfiltered with a nice white head. Candy, spice, clove aroma. Quite dry. Began full of clove flavor that quickly diminished. Tart wheat flavor after it warmed. Well carbonated. Simple, crisp, and refreshing.
CoachJT (20), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Oct 11, 2008 12 oz bottle pour. Pale yellow in color, with banana and clove notes in the aroma. Cloves overly evident in the taste, overpowering anything else. Not a bad beer, but not as balanced as I would have hoped. esjaygee (820), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Oct 11, 2008 Straw yellow, mild bodied with a slowly dissipating white frothy head. Aroma of yeast, spice, banana and fruit. Taste of wheat, fruit, spice with a spicy yeasty finish. Considering the lame name of the beer, I expected a drain pour but it surely exceeded expectations. Drnk_McDermott (1564), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA Oct 5, 2008 12 oz. bottle. A basic yellow pour, no haze in this wheat, thin head that’s gone in a few seconds. My stuffy nose picks up a basic malty beer smell, Taste is, I guess, fizzy to start with. Really, that’s my first impression when rating while fighting a cold. But I’ve got some citrus character here, which turns toward the orange side in the next few sips. A little light spiciness, but I don’t think I’d have picked this out as a wheat beer in a blind tasting. Some general, quite light fruitiness in the middle. No bitterness to speak of. A nice, mild but forgettable beer. changeup45 (578), Orlando, Florida, USA Sep 28, 2008 Pours a hazy yellow-gold color with a thin white head that does stick around. The aroma is yeast and a nice light citrus fruit scent. The flavor is a little bland and watery with yeast, some citrus fruit and mild spice, along with cardboard. It’s not bad though, is refreshing enough, and certainly gets the job done on a hot day. beer_chugger (66), Colorado, USA Sep 27, 2008 Pours a hazy golden color like a wheat beer should look. However, since it is a wheat beer, there should be a substantial head, which was lacking. Thin head for a wheat. Actually this beer was more like a Belgian whit with the spices. The spices were not too strong, but noticeable. Very thirst quenching. Decent beer.
