Cloudy yellow with a small white head. Weak bread crust aroma. Thin and sweet grainy malt flavour. Amazingly boring beer...

hopdog (7043) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 31, 2006
12oz bottle. Poured a medium and hazy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of lemons and wheat. Tastes of wheat and lemons. Straight forward wheat beer that I found to be refreshing.

Ughsmash (5824) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - APR 2, 2006
Bottled... 1st Bottle Run, December 2005. Poured a hazy, paler shade of golden with a towering, rocky white head. Nose was of lemongrass, banana, pizza dough, and an assortment of complementary spices... quite pleasant. Tart lemongrass gave a refreshing and crisp first impression on the palate, followed be delightful sour wheat, bananas, and a touch of caramel. Finish was tart, citric, and powerfully refreshing. Fine brew!

Cornfield (5277) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - SEP 26, 2006
This poured a very slightly hazed golden body with a modest white head. The aroma is somewhat yeasty, soap-like, with soft wheat, a suggestion of lemon, and some mild spices. It’s quite creamy and soft in the mouth. The flavor’s honey-sweetened wheat with a small bit of lemon tartness and light spicing. Pretty decent brew for Summer months.

Drake (5232) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - AUG 31, 2011
12 ounce bottle from Steve’s Mineral Point Madison, WI. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a medium white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of wheat, caramel, apple-like fruits and a faint nuttiness. The taste is soft wheat notes, citrus, honey, apples, caramel, faintly bitter finish. Medium bodied. Nice beer.

BBB63 (5023) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - AUG 18, 2006
Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow hue topped by a small lasting frothy head and good lace. The nose detected a weak wheat and sweet malt vapor along with some bubblegum and tempered lemon zest. The taste is quite bland, with all the usual flaws of most American Wheat beers. Worse yet is there is a band-aid off-flavor which ruined any hope for the brew. The feel is equally boring, it watery and is not even lively or spritzy. Arggh, I hope for better.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 28, 2005
Tap. Lightly hazy straw color with a moderate off white head. Mild pale malt aromas dominate the nose. Hints of fruit, dough and light caramel. Full feel. Wheat bread flavors throughout. Hints of floral hops. More a cream ale than a wheat, but a decent brew.

beerguy101 (4925) - Newark, California, USA - FEB 2, 2011
Sampled on 1/29/2011. This wheat beer pours a light straw gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal and grain, fruity and sweet, with a touch of citrus. A medium to light bodied American Wheat beer. The malts are cereal and grain with some citrus. The hops are slightly spicy. Nice balance. Decent carbonation. Clean and crisp. Slightly sweet and citrusy. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
