Commercial Description:
A golden crisp refreshing wheat beer. Effervesent, light and crisp, our American-style wheat beer is served unfiltered, adding depth to the palate and causing it to be slightly cloudy.
Formerly White River Wheat.

<b>Objectively speaking:</b> A basic weizen with little yeast character and almost no head. <br /> <b>I like:</b> Pleasant lemon zest notes make it a fine lemonade. <br /> <b>I dislike:</b> Headless weizen? Also quite clear and almost shiny for an unfiltered ale. Overly tart to me. The coriander flavours clash a bit with the acidity. Very thin.

This brew pours a small head of large white bubbles and a transparent light yellow orange body. It was flat, lacked character and had a very poor taste. This was the worst brew I tasted at the Brew-Ha-Ha in Indianapolis. Re-Rate from brewery/31/2004 originally 4-2-2-2-4: This draft sample poured a medium sized head of fine to medium sized long lasting white colored bubbles that left behind a good lace. The body hazy and yellow in color. The aroma was mild with doughy musty notes and the mouth feel was mild and somewhat tingly. The flavor was mild with wheat and malty notes. This rating 4-4-4-3-10

Draft sample. This beer formed a small sized white head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. The body was hazy and uncarbonated with a yellow hue. The nose was light malt, light hops and some fruit esters. The flavor was flat, bland, boring and lacks character. The mouthfeel was smooth with a watery and thin texture. This was a light bodied beer with excellent lacing.

From a sampler: This beer pours a hazy dark yellow color with a medium thick and foamy white head. The aroma is somewhat wheaty with a touch of hops. No real lacing to speak of. Kind of thin body, with a smooth and mild character. It's really not all that wheaty and the finish was on the bland side. Not one of their better attempts.
