On-tap, served in a shaker glass. L: Unfiltered cloudy appearance, straw yellow in color with orange hues, fluffy white head that slowly settled into a thin sudsy skim, splotchy rings of lace follows the body down the glass, an attractive start for this wheat ale. S: Husky grains, toasted wheat and a light honey maple from the Salmiana Agave nectar, everything is framed by a citric lemony aroma. F&T: Malty moderate body, softly crisp, creamy feel in the mouth. Good wheat twang in the taste, provides a nice snap of toasted wheat to go with the lemony flavors. The agave nectar has more of a neutral sweetness than in the aroma, just a subtle sweet light colored honey taste. A delicate hop spiciness comes out in the end, adding to sprightly dry lemon honey, toasted grainy, bread yeasty finish. I thought this was a pretty enjoyable pale wheat ale, quite quaffable, I will have to pick up the bottle version sometime soon.

hazy dark gold with a small creamy white head. sour citrus(lemon) aroma. flavor is grainy and citrusy with lemon. sharp, biting carbonation. not much to it. simple yet effective.

Murky orange pour with lots of sediment and a big white head. Aroma is of wheat and yeast. High carbonation. Slightly sweet up front with some grassy hops. Some malt on the back end. Finishes dry, slightly spicy. Not bad if you ask me.

Sweet spicy nose. Cloudy burnt gold color. Sweet, but not intensely so....seemed pretty complex for a Wheat beer. Heavier bodied, but the carbonation cut through. Finished nicely. Wasn’t expecting much, but this is a pretty decent beer.

Pours golden with white head. Slightly sweet aroma. Flavor sweet with little body.

Super hazy peachy yellow color with a quick white head. Bready malt aroma, almost moldy. Light body and medium carbonation. Sweet cirtus flavors with some grassy wheat tones. Dull quick, and a bit watery in the finish.

Pours your typical hazed tawny yellow color with a good lasting head and full lace. Fresh aromas of malted biscuits, banana, and vanilla cream with a touch of muted tartness. Full nectar with slippery residual effers that need some coaxing to come alive. Big and malty with enjoyable fruit flavors consisting of banana cream and citrus sprinkled with spice. Agave ? Not sure, I’ve never tasted it outside of Tequila. I can say there is a slight switch of something in the aroma and the flavor that is more vegetal than fruit. Overall: I really enjoyed this brew.
